Authors: G.X. E1, Y.F. Huang1, Y.J. Zhao1, J.N. He2, N. Liu2, T. Zhong3, Y.H. Ma4, X.Y. Qiu1 and L.P. Chen1
The aim of this research was to identify the dynamic diversity of Small Tail Han sheep in its main producing areas between different years, and provide a basis for a breeding and genetic resources conservation strategy. For this purpose, 15 microsatellites were genotyped for Small Tail Han Sheep sampled in 2014 from Heze, China, and a comparative analysis.. Read More»

Multivariate analysis in a genetic divergence study of Psidium guajava
Authors: A.M. Nogueira, M.F.S. Ferreira, J.H.S. Guilhen and A. Ferreira
The family Myrtaceae is widespread in the Atlantic Forest and is well-represented in the Espírito Santo State in Brazil. In the genus Psidium of this family, guava (Psidium guajava L.) is the most economically important species. Guava is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries; however, the widespread cultivation of only a small num.. Read More»

Population genetic analysis and conservation strategies for redtail shrimp Fenneropenaeus penicillatus using ten microsatellite markers
Authors: Y.Y. Cao, J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li
Fenneropenaeus penicillatus, which is on the Red List of Endangered Species for China, is an important shrimp species. However, there is not enough genetic information on F. penicillatus for conservation and management purposes. Ten microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and.. Read More»

Patterns of genetic diversity and population structure of the threatened Houbara and Macqueen�s bustards as revealed by microsatellite markers
Authors: A. Korrida S. Jadallah F. Chbel A. Amin-Alami M. Ahra S. Aggrey
The Houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata) is a threatened avian species that is rapidly declining throughout its range, especially in North Africa, Asia and the Canary Islands. We examined the population structure and genetic variation for the three Houbara subspecies C. undulata undulata, C. u. fuertaventurae and C. u. macqueenii. A total of 266 birds from.. Read More»

Development and characterization of 22 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the balloon flower Platycodon grandiflorum (Campanulaceae)
Authors: J.Y. Song G.-A. Lee M.-S. Yoon K.-H. Ma Y.-M. Choi J.-R. Lee H.-J. Park M.-C. Lee
The balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC.) is a perennial flowering plant of the Campanulaceae family; it is the only member of the genus Platycodon. Information on the genetic diversity of balloon flower populations is of great importance for the conservation and germplasm utilization of this flowering plant. Twenty-two polymorphic microsatellite l.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of 10 microsatellite loci for Pallas� long-tongued bat Glossophaga soricina (Phyllostomidae)
Authors: 3521
Glossophaga soricina is a widespread Neotropical nectarivorous bat. We characterized 10 microsatellite loci isolated from a shotgun genomic library. We analyzed tissues from wing membrane of 67 individuals collected from two populations of Central Brazil (Brasília and Alto Paraíso). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 20, and th..

Characterization of eight novel microsatellite markers in the green-lipped mussel Perna viridis (Mytilidae)
Authors: Y.Y. Cao Z.B. Li Q.H. Li X.J. Chen L. Chen G. Dai
The green lipped mussel, also known as the Asian green mussel (Perna viridis) is a fast reproducing and valuable food source, but it is also considered an invasive species and can clog and damage pipes and marine equipment. Eight novel polymorphic microsatellite loci for P. viridis were isolated and characterized. Microsatellite polymorphism was evaluated.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and assessment of 23 microsatellite markers for parentage testing of Santa In�ªs hair sheep in Brazil
Authors: C.A. Souza, S.R. Paiva, C.M. McManus, H.C. Azevedo, A.S. Mariante and D. Grattapaglia
Santa Inês is the most common hair sheep breed in Brazil and probably has the highest genetic diversity among sheep breeds in this country. Successful breeding programs for Brazilian sheep breeds are not common for various reasons, including a lack of control of parentage in the flocks. We developed an allele frequency d.. Read More»

Authors: P.F. Fazzi-Gomes, N. Melo, G. Palheta, S. Guerreiro, M. Amador, A.K. Ribeiro-dos-Santos, S. Santos and I. Hamoy
Genetic variability is one of the important criteria for species conservation decisions. This study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity and the population differentiation of two natural populations of Arapaima gigas, a species with a long history of being commercially exploited. We collected 87 samples of A. gigas from Gran.. Read More»
