Transferability of microsatellite markers of Capsicum annuum L. to C. frutescens L. and C. chinense Jacq.

Authors: S.I.C. Carvalho, C.F. Ragassi, I.B. Oliveira, Z.P.S. Amaral, F.J.B. Reifschneider, F.G. Faleiro and G.S.C. Buso

In order to support further genetic, diversity, and phylogeny studies of Capsicum species, the transferability of a Capsicum annuum L. simple sequence repeat (SSR) microsatellite set was analyzed for C. frutescens L. (“malagueta” and “tabasco” peppers) and C. chinense Jacq. (smell peppers, among other types). A total of 185 SSR pri.. Read More»

Investigating genetic diversity in sapucaia using inter simple sequence repeat markers

Authors: R.C. Borges, F.M.G. Santos, M.C.C. Maia, P.S.C. Lima and S.E.S. Valente

Sapucaia is a tree species originating from the Brazilian Amazon and is widely distributed in Brazil, especially in the mid-north region (Piauí and Maranhão states). Its seeds are rich in calories and proteins, and possess great potential for commercialization. Little is known about the genetic variability in the germplasm of most Lecythis s.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of urdbean (Vigna mungo) germplasm related to resistance against urdbean leaf crinkle virus

Authors: R. Binyamin, M. Aslam Khan, A.I. Khan, M. Azam Khan, F.S. Awan and N.A. Khan

Urdbean (Vigna mungo) is an important pulse crop grown worldwide. Urdbean leaf crinkle virus (ULCV) is a pathogen of urdbean found in Pakistan that causes huge losses in yield. Forty urdbean varieties/lines were screened against the virus under field conditions during spring season 2009. None of the lines appeared to be highly.. Read More»

Application of SCAR markers linked with mungbean yellow mosaic virus disease-resistance gene in Pakistan mungbean germplasm

Authors: R. Binyamin, M.A. Khan, N.A. Khan and A.I. Khan

Mungbean yellow mosaic virus disease (MYMVD) caused by single-stranded DNA begomovirus is the most prominent threat to the mungbean crop in Pakistan. Mungbean genotypes consisting of 127 varieties/lines were screened for MYMVD under natural field conditions. No genotypes were found to be immune or highly resistant agai.. Read More»

Genetic relationship of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties from Senegal based on SSR markers

Authors: F.A. Badiane, B.S. Gowda, N. Ciss�©, D. Diouf, O. Sadio and M.P. Timko

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among 22 local cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties and inbred lines collected throughout Senegal were evaluated using simple sequence repeat molecular markers. A set of 49 primer combinations were developed from cowpea genomic/expressed sequence tags and evaluated for their abi.. Read More»

Genetic divergence in a soybean (Glycine max) diversity panel based on agro-morphological traits

Authors: M.B. Marconato, E.M. Pereira, F.M. Silva, E.H. Bizari, J.B. Pinheiro, A.O. Mauro and S.H. Un�ªda-Trevisoli

Owing to the narrow genetic basis of soybean (Glycine max), the incorporation of new sources of germplasm is indispensable when searching for alleles that contribute to a greater diversity of varieties. The alternative is plant introduction, which may increase genetic variability within breeding programs. Multivariate techniqu.. Read More»

Development of a cassava core collection based on single nucleotide polymorphism markers

Authors: E.J. Oliveira, C.F. Ferreira, V.S. Santos and G.A.F. Oliveira

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were used in the largest cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm collection from Brazil to develop core collections based on the maximization strategy. Subsets with 61, 64, 84, 128, 256, and 384 cassava accessions were selected and named PoHEU, MST64, PoRAN, MST128, MS.. Read More»

Genetic parameters and prediction of genotypic values for root quality traits in cassava using REML/BLUP

Authors: E.J. Oliveira, F.A. Santana, L.A. Oliveira and V.S. Santos

The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and predict the genotypic values of root quality traits in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP). A total of 471 cassava accessions were evaluated over two years of cultivatio.. Read More»

Evaluation on the germplasm of maize (Zea mays L.) landraces from southwest China

Authors: F.B. Chen, Q.L. Yao, H.F. Liu and P. Fang

Because of their local adaptation and economic factors that limit the adoption of commercial hybrids, farmer-saved maize landraces are still grown over a considerable area concentrated in southwest China. To evaluate the potential of using maize landraces, the germplasm characteristics of 96 landraces from southwest China were.. Read More»

Morphological and genetic relationships between wild and domesticated forms of peppers (Capsicum frutescens L. and C. chinense Jacquin)

Authors: S.I.C. Carvalho, C.F. Ragassi, L.B. Bianchetti, F.J.B. Reifschneider, G.S.C. Buso and F.G. Faleiro

Capsicum chinense and C. frutescens peppers are part of the Brazilian biodiversity, and the Amazon basin is the area of greatest diversity for them, especially for that former species. Nevertheless, little is known about their evolutionary history. Aiming to identify genotypes with wild and domesticated chara.. Read More»
