Genetic diversity analysis of an indigenous Chinese buffalo breed and hybrids based on microsatellite data
Authors: W.C. Yang, K.Q. Tang, J. Mei, W.B. Zeng and L.G. Yang
Chinese native buffaloes have faced the threat of extinction, along with an increase in crossbreeding with domesticated river buffaloes; consequently, conservation of local buffalo genetic resources has become a priority. A Chinese native breed, Jianghan, is often crossed intentionally and unintentionally with imported breeds .. Read More»

Genetic variability in wild genotypes of Passiflora cincinnata based on RAPD markers
Authors: C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva, L.D.H.C.S. Concei?§?£o, E.S.L. Santos, C.B. Cardoso-Silva, A.S. Pereira, A.C. Oliveira and R.X. Corr?ªa
The genetic diversity and characteristics of commercial interest of Passiflora species make it useful to characterize wild germplasm, because of their potential use for fruit, ornamental and medicinal purposes. We evaluated genetic diversity, using RAPD markers, of 32 genotypes of Passiflora cincinnata collected from the wild .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of worldwide Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) germplasm as revealed by RAPD markers
Authors: P.P. Wangsomnuk, S. Khampa, P. Wangsomnuk, S. Jogloy, T. Mornkham, B. Ruttawat, A. Patanothai and Y.B. Fu
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) is a wild relative of the cultivated sunflower (H. annuus); it is an old tuber crop that has recently received renewed interest. We used RAPD markers to characterize 147 Jerusalem artichoke accessions from nine countries. Thirty RAPD primers were screened; 13 of them detected 357 repr.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of the tropical tree species Aegiphila sellowiana (Lamiaceae)
Authors: C. Medri, E.A. Ruas, C.F. Ruas, P.S. Medri, M.E. Medri and P.M. Ruas
The Tibagi River, located in southern Brazil, is associated with a significant degree of environmental heterogeneity, along its 550 km extension. There is concern about the integrity of this river’s ecosystem, as human interference has been increasing. Aegiphila sellowiana (Lamiaceae) is an important pioneer tree species.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of wild soybean populations in Dongying, China, by simple sequence repeat analysis
Authors: Y.H. Wang, X.J. Zhang and S.J. Fan
Annual wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.), the ancestor of cultivated soybean (G. max), is believed to be a potential gene source for further improvement of soybean to cope with environmental stress. In this study, 10 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population genetic structure in five wild soyb.. Read More»

Phylogeography of Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii (Siluriformes - Pimelodidae) in the Amazon Basin offers preliminary evidence for the first case of â??homingâ? for an Amazonian migratory catfish
Authors: J.S. Batista and J.A. Alves-Gomes
The large pimelodid, Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, is one of the two most important catfish species for the fisheries in the Amazon. It is captured by commercial and artisanal fishing fleets in at least five Amazonian countries, at fishing grounds more than 5000 km apart. Current evidence suggests a complex life cycle that inc..

Assessment of phylogenetic relationship of rare plant species collected from Saudi Arabia using internal transcribed spacer sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA
Authors: F. Al-Qurainy, S. Khan, M. Nadeem, M. Tarroum and A. Alaklabi
The rare and endangered plants of any country are important genetic resources that often require urgent conservation measures. Assessment of phylogenetic relationships and evaluation of genetic diversity is very important prior to implementation of conservation strategies for saving rare and endangered plant species. We used internal transcribed spacer se.. Read More»

The use of the acridine orange test and the TUNEL assay to assess the integrity of freeze-dried bovine spermatozoa DNA
Authors: Martins CF, Dode MN, Bao SN and Rumpf R
The ability to detect nuclear damage is an important tool for the development of sperm preservation methods. We used the acridine orange test (AOT) and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUDP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay to assess the DNA status of sperm cells preserved with different lyophilization media. Th.. Read More»

Estimation of genetic diversity in a natural population of cambui tree (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) using ISSR markers
Authors: J.G.S. Santana, A.L.S. Nascimento, T.S. Costa, T.M.B. de Almeida, A.R.C. Rabbani and A.V.C. Silva
Cambui (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) is a native species from Brazil, which belongs to the family Myrtaceae. Molecular characterization is one of the most used tools for the study of the biotechnological potential of species because the diversity level between individuals can be inferred. Analysis of genetic diversity is fundame.. Read More»
