Study of the correlation between GH gene polymorphism and growth traits in sheep
Authors: J.L. Jia, L.P. Zhang, J.P. Wu, Z.J. Ha and W.W. Li
The growth hormone gene plays an important role in the physiological function of an organism. The current study aimed to investigate the correlation between polymorphisms in the 5êÂ?Â? regulatory region, exon 4, and 3êÂ?Â? untranslated region (UTR) of the sheep GH gene and sheep growth traits. The DNA from 510 adult sheep wa.. Read More»

Association of ectomycorrhizal fungi with Picea crassifolia (Pinaceae, Piceoidae) from high-altitude stands in Mount Helan Nature Reserve, China
Authors: Y.J. Fan, T. Grebenc, J. Wei, Y.L. Zhao, W. Yan and L.B. Wang
We investigated the diversity of ectomycorrhiza associated with the endemic Picea crassifolia in Mount Helan National Nature Reserve in Inner Mongolia, China. Toward this objective, we conducted morphological and molecular identification of ectomycorrhizae in soil cubes taken from pure P. crassifolia stands. Eleven types of ec.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of new polymorphic microsatellite markers from the cuttlefish Sepiella maindroni (Cephalopoda; Sepiidae)
Authors: B.-Y. Guo, P.Z. Qi, A.Y. Zhu, Z.M. Lv, W.C. Wang and C.W. Wu
Fifteen new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the cuttlefish Sepiella maindroni. In 32 individuals from a wild population of coastal Ningde, Fujian Province, China, the number of alleles at these loci varied between 2 and 12, with an average of 5.86. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.6917 and 0.5993, respectively. Amo.. Read More»

Characterization and application of newly developed polymorphic microsatellite markers in the Ezo red fox (Vulpes vulpes schrencki)
Authors: T. Tada, Y. Seki, Y. Kameyama, Y. Kikkawa and K. Wada
The Ezo red fox (Vulpes vulpes schrencki), a subspecies endemic to Hokkaido island, Japan, is a known host species for the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. To develop tools for molecular ecological studies, we isolated 28 microsatellite regions from the genome of Ezo red fox, and developed 18 polymorphic microsatellite ma.. Read More»

Molecular cytogenetics of nucleolar organizer regions in Phyllomedusa and Phasmahyla species (Hylidae, Phyllomedusinae): a cytotaxonomic contribution
Authors: A. Barth, V.A. Souza, M. Sol�© and M.A. Costa
Chromosome numbers, morphology, and nucleolus organizer region (NOR) locations are useful cytological characters for taxonomic and evolutionary studies. In this study, we provide the first cytogenetic analysis of Phyllomedusa bahiana and Phasmahyla spectabilis, and report new cytogenetic data on variation in NOR numbers and positions in Phyllomedusa rohde..

Genetic analysis of Apuleia leiocarpa as revealed by random amplified polymorphic DNA markers: prospects for population genetic studies
Authors: K.H. Lencina, E.R. Konzen, S.M. Tsai and D.A. Bisognin
Apuleia leiocarpa (Vogel) J.F. MacBride is a hardwood species native to South America, which is at serious risk of extinction. Therefore, it is of prime importance to examine the genetic diversity of this species, information required for developing conservation, sustainable management, and breeding strategies. Although scarce.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci in a threatened marine fish, Cheilinus undulatus (humphead wrasse)
Authors: J. Hu, X.P. Zhu, J. Luo, S.W. Yin, Y.H. Peng, Y.L. Hu and F. Zhu
Cheilinus undulatus (humphead wrasse) is a marine fish distributed widely throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific. It has been listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red Data Book and in CITES Appendix II four times. Fifteen microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for this species. The number of alleles ranged from 3 to 15 per locus, and the observed a.. Read More»

Analysis of differential gene expression during floral bud abortion in radish (Raphanus sativus L.)
Authors: J. Zhang, X.L. Sun, L.G. Zhang, M.X. Hui and M.K. Zhang
Radish floral bud abortion (FBA) is an adverse biological phenomenon that occurs during reproduction. Although FBA occurs frequently, its mechanism remains unknown. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying FBA, we detected gene expression differences between aborted and normal buds of radish using cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) ..

Nested clade phylogeographical analysis of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) inhabiting Chinese and Japanese coasts
Authors: L. Li, J. Jiang, X. Wang and X. Jiang
The finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) is a small cetacean whose survival is largely affected by human activity. The characteristics and structures of 3 populations in China and 4 to 5 populations in Japan have been well documented, although their history and origins remain poorly understood.
