Authors: A.V. Tiago, A.A.B. Rossi, P.V. Tiago, A.A. Carpejani, B.M. Silva, E.S.S. Hoogerheide and O.M. Yamashita
Brazil is considered one of the domestication centers of cassava (Manihot esculenta), containing a large part of the biological diversity and traditional knowledge of the species. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of cassava landraces grown by farmers in the north of Mato Grosso State, Brazil, .. Read More»

Genetic variability in domesticated Capsicum spp as assessed by morphological and agronomic data in mixed statistical analysis
Authors: C.P. Sudr�©, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, R. Rodrigues, A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior, E.M. Riva-Souza and C. dos S. Bento
Capsicum species are very important in Brazil because of economic, cultural and biological factors, and the country is considered to be a diversity center for this genus. Collection and maintenance of the genetic diversity in Capsicum are important to avoid genetic erosion. Besides the identification of species, the characteri.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in the germplasm of black pepper determined by EST-SSR markers
Authors: B.D. Wu, R. Fan, L.S. Hu, H.S. Wu and C.Y. Hao
This study aimed to assess genetic diversity in the germplasm of black pepper from around the world using SSR markers from EST. In total, 13 markers were selected and successfully amplified the target loci across the black pepper germplasm. All the EST-SSR markers showed high levels of polymorphisms with an average polymorphis.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of gabiroba based on random amplified polymorphic DNA markers and morphological characteristics
Authors: E.S. de Assis, E.F. dos Reis, J.F.N. Pinto, L.A.S. Contim and L.A.S. Dias
The fragmentation of the original vegetation of the Cerrado biome, caused by the expansion of agricultural areas, mainly in central-west Brazil, calls for an assessment of the native population of this vegetation, especially of the species of interest for domestication and sustainable use. The purpose of this study was to characterize the genetic diversit.. Read More»

Assessment of apple core collections constructed using phenotypic and genotypic data
Authors: W.H. Yun, S.H. Ban, G.H. Kim, J.-H. Kim, S.I. Kwon and C. Choi
Several types of information can be used to select core collections, including passport data, agronomic data, and molecular data. However, little is known about the ability of core collections to retain the genetic diversity and structure of the whole collection for characters that were not considered during the selection, particularly when molecular mark..

Evaluation of genetic diversity in fig accessions by using microsatellite markers
Authors: A.D.B. do Val, C.S. Souza, E.A. Ferreira, S.M.L. Salgado, M. Pasqual and G.M.A. Can�§ado
Fig (Ficus carica L.) is a fruit of great importance worldwide. Its propagation is carried out with stem cuttings, a procedure that favors the occurrence of synonymy among specimens. Thus, molecular markers have become an important tool for studies of DNA fingerprinting, germplasm characterization, and genetic diversity evaluation in this plant species. T.. Read More»

New hybrids from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and synthetic amphidiploid crosses show promise in increasing pest and disease tolerance
Authors: A.P. F�¡vero, J.G. P�¡dua, T.S. Costa, M.A. Gimenes, I.J. Godoy, M.C. Moretzsohn and M.D. Michelotto
The primary gene pool of the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., allotetraploid AABB) is very narrow for some important characteristics, such as resistance to pests and diseases. However, the Arachis wild diploid species, particularly those from the section Arachis, still have these characteristics. To improve peanut crops, genes from the wild species.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in local and commercial dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions based on microsatellite markers
Authors: P.D.S. Cabral, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P. Lima, F.D. de Miranda, F.B. Souza and L.S.A. Gon�§alves
Dry beans are considered to be a crop of great socio-economic importance, because they are an inexpensive source of nutrients and because their cultivation requires considerable manual labor. Studies of genetic diversity have been very important for genetic improvement programs, because they give parameters for the identificat.. Read More»

Comparison of eight methods of genomic DNA extraction from babassu
Authors: J.P.G. Viana, A.N.C. Borges, A.C.A. Lopes, R.L.F. Gomes, F.B. Britto, P.S.C. Lima and S.E.S. Valente
Babassu (Orbignya phalerata Martius) is one of the most important palms in Brazil because of the largest morphological variation, wide geographic distribution, and high socio-economic importance. The diversity present in babassu germplasm should be protected against loss to ensure their use with high productivity. Study of the available variability in pop.. Read More»

Brazil has only one public genetic pool of Bombyx mori strains, which was established in 2005 at Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Maringá, Paraná State. This genetic bank has been maintained, and the strains have been characterized using genetic and morphological tools. The quantitative and qualitative traits, directly or indirectly .. Read More»
