New microsatellite markers for the neotropical malaria vector Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato A.S.
Authors: A.S. Cunha-Machado and V.M. Scarpassa
Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato consists of cryptic species and genetic lineages, one of which is an important human malaria vector in the northern part of South America. Population structure and evolutionary genetics studies may help in the definition and delimitation of the species and lineages within this species complex, which is relevant information.. Read More»

Development of EST-SSR markers related to salt tolerance and their application in genetic diversity and evolution analysis in Gossypium
Authors: B.H. Wang, P. Zhu, Y.L. Yuan, C.B. Wang, C.M. Yu, H.H. Zhang, X.Y. Zhu, W. Wang, C.B. Yao, Z.M. Zhuang and P. Li
Salt stress is becoming one of the major problems in global agriculture with the onset of global warming, an increasing scarcity of fresh water, and improper land irrigation and fertilization practices, which leads to reduction of crop output and even causes crop death. To speed up the exploitation of saline land, it is a good.. Read More»

Inter-retrotransposon-amplified polymorphism markers for germplasm characterization in Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae)
Authors: A.M. Oliveira-Silva, G.F. Silva, M.C. Dias, C.R. Clement and N.R. Sousa
Manioc, Manihot esculenta, is economically important in many tropical and subtropical countries. The genetic variability of the species has not been fully explored, and new information may help expand its use. Molecular markers based on retrotransposons have good potential for analysis of genetic diversity given their abundanc.. Read More»

Characterization of Anatolian traditional quince cultivars, based on microsatellite markers
Authors: C. Y�¼ksel, F. Mutaf, �°. Demirta��, G. ��zt�¼rk, M. Pekta��, A. Erg�¼l
We conducted simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses of 15 traditional quince (Cydonia oblonga) cultivars from Anatolian gene sources for molecular characterization and investigation of genetic relationships. Three pear and two apple cultivars were used as references for SSR locus data analysis and to determine allele profiles b.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation of exotic and American commercial cattle breeds raised in Brazil
Authors: B.S.A.F. Brasil1,2,3*, E.G.A. Coelho1*, M.G. Drummond1,2 and D.A.A. Oliveira1
The Brazilian cattle population is mainly composed of breeds of zebuine origin and their American derivatives. Comprehensive knowledge about the genetic diversity of these populations is fundamental for animal breeding programs and the conservation of genetic resources. This study aimed to assess the phylogenetic relationships, levels of genetic diversity.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the Chinese traditional herb Blumea balsamifera (Asteraceae) based on AFLP markers
Authors: Y.X. Pang, W.Q. Wang, Y.B. Zhang, Y. Yuan, J.B. Yu, M. Zhu and Y.Y. Chen
Blumea balsamifera is a commercially important medicinal herb in China and other parts of Asia. It is used to produce borneol. This plant grows in the wild, but resources have diminished greatly in recent years. We examined the genetic diversity of this species to help develop conservation strategies; 35 plants from five provi.. Read More»
