Molecular marker-based genetic diversity analysis of scantly studied Brazilian accessions of a medicinal plant, Morinda citrifolia L. (noni)
Authors: P.N. Bordallo, A.M.R. Monteiro, J.A. Sousa and F.A.S. Arag�£o
Morinda citrifolia L., commonly known as noni, has been used for the treatment of various diseases for over two centuries. It was introduced and widely disseminated in Brazil because of its high market value and ease of adaptation to the soil and climatic conditions of the country. The aim of this study was to estimate the gen.. Read More»

Genetic relationships in a germplasm collection of Camellia japonica and Camellia oleifera using SSR analysis
Authors: Y. Zhao, C.J. Ruan, G.J. Ding and S. Mopper
Camellia japonica produces different color and bigger flowers, widely being used for gardening green in southern China. However, cultivars were introduced from different regions, but their origin and pedigree information is either not available poorly documented, causing problems in authentication. Many low-yield trees in Came.. Read More»

Estimation of genetic distance between 10 maize accessions with varying response to different levels of soil moisture
Authors: M. Aslam, F.S. Awan, I.A. Khan and A.I. Khan
Ten maize accessions (NC-9, A50-2, M-14, B-42, NC-3, T-7, N-48-1, B-34, USSR, and WFTMS) were studied to estimate the genetic distance on molecular level by random amplified polymorphic DNA. These accessions were selected on the basis of their variable responses against different levels of moisture. Twenty-five primers were us.. Read More»

Phenotypic diversity of starch granules in cassava germplasm
Authors: L.M. Vasconcelos, A.C. Brito, C.D. Carmo, P.H.G.A. Oliveira and E.J. Oliveira
Demand for the development of cassava varieties with different native starches has guided the search for these characteristics in the germplasm of Manihot esculenta Crantz. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity of cassava accessions for root and starch granule characteristics to guide the.. Read More»

Development and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota
Authors: G. Dai, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, H.W. Deng,Y. Yuan, Y.S. Huang, H. Yang and J. Lu
Holothuria leucospilota is a tropical holothurian species that is widely distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical India-Western Pacific Region. Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from H. leucospilota by using the protocol fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats and tested in 30 individ..

Genetic diversity in sugarcane varieties in Brazil based on the Ward-Modified Location Model clustering strategy
Authors: B.P. Brasileiro, C.D. Marinho, P.M.A. Costa, E.F.A. Moreira, L.A. Peternelli and M.H.P. Barbosa
We evaluated the genetic diversity of 77 clones of sugarcane used in crosses made by the Brazilian interuniversity network for the development of the sugar/energy sector (RIDESA) breeding program. Characterization of the genotypes was carried out at the ratoon stage, based on eight morphological traits and seven agronomic trai.. Read More»
