Authors: J. Kumchai Y.-C. Wei C.-Y. Lee F.-C. Chen S.-W. Chin
Interspecific hybrids between cultivars of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) and its wild relative S. torvum, which has disease resistance and desirable traits for crop improvement, were obtained by cross-hybridization and embryo rescue. Twenty-one hybrid progenies were obtained and examined based on morphological traits, RAPD and ISSR markers. Five of them.. Read More»

Analysis of allopolyploidy-induced rapid genetic and epigenetic changes and their relationship in wheat
Authors: T. Qiu, Y.Z. Dong, X.M. Yu, N. Zhao and Y.F. Yang
We used the conventional and methylation-sensitive randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analyses to assess genome-wide changes and explore the relationships between genetic and epigenetic variations among individuals of a newly synthesized allohexaploid wheat line whose genomic cons..

Conservation and population genetic diversity of Curcuma wenyujin (Zingiberaceae), a multifunctional medicinal herb
Authors: W.H. Zheng, Y. Zhuo, L. Liang, W.Y. Ding, L.Y. Liang and X.F. Wang
Curcuma wenyujin is an important multifunctional medicinal herb in China. Currently, populations of C. wenyujin are decreasing, and wild individuals have almost disappeared from their natural habitats. Moreover, little is known regarding the molecular characteristics of this plant. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and variation of five.. Read More»

Comparison of RAPD and ISSR markers for assessment of genetic diversity among endangered rare Dalbergia oliveri (Fabaceae) genotypes in Vietnam
Authors: D.T. Phong, V.T.T. Hien, T.T.V. Thanh and D.V. Tang
Dalbergia oliveri is a leguminous tree of the Fabaceae family. This species is popular and valuable in Vietnam and is currently listed on the Vietnam Red List and on the IUCN Red List as endangered. Two PCR techniques using RAPD and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to make a comparative analysis of genetic.. Read More»

Use of molecular markers in reciprocal recurrent selection of maize increases heterosis effects
Authors: A.P.C.G. Berilli, M.G. Pereira, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, K.S. da Cunha, H.C.C. Ramos, G.A. Souza Filho and A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior
We examined the effect of incorporation of molecular markers on variability between and within populations in order to maximize heterotic effects and longevity of a maize reciprocal recurrent selection program. Molecular variability was quantified by inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers between and within the maize popu.. Read More»

Genetic dissimilarity of putative gamma-ray-induced �Preciosa - AAAB-Pome type� banana (Musa sp) mutants based on multivariate statistical analysis
Authors: R.K.N. Pestana, E.P. Amorim, C.F. Ferreira, V.B.O. Amorim, L.S. Oliveira, C.A.S. Ledo and S.O. Silva
Bananas are among the most important fruit crops worldwide, being cultivated in more than 120 countries, mainly by small-scale producers. However, short-stature high-yielding bananas presenting good agronomic characteristics are hard to find. Consequently, wind continues to damage a great number of plantations each year, leadi..

Genetic variation of Sargassum horneri populations detected by inter-simple sequence repeats
Authors: J.R. Ren, R. Yang, Y.Y. He and Q.H. Sun
The seaweed Sargassum horneri is an important brown alga in the marine environment, and it is an important raw material in the alginate industry. Unfortunately, the fixed resource that was originally reported is now reduced or disappeared, and increased floating populations have been reported in recent years. We sampled a floating population and 4 fixed c.. Read More»

Genetic variability in Jatropha curcas L. from diallel crossing
Authors: D.O. Ribeiro, R. Silva-Mann, S.V. Alvares-Carvalho, E.M.S. Souza, M.C. Vasconcelos and A.F. Blank
Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) presents high oilseed yield and low production cost. However, technical-scientific knowledge on this crop is still limited. This study aimed to evaluate and estimate the genetic variability of hybrids obtained from dialell crossing. Genetic variability was carried out using ISSR molecular marker.. Read More»

Myrciaria dubia, an Amazonian fruit: population structure and its implications for germplasm conservation and genetic improvement
Authors: C.F. Nunes, T.A. Setotaw, M. Pasqual, E.A. Chagas, E.G. Santos,D.N. Santos, C.G.B. Lima, G.M.A. Can�§ado
Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazon tree that produces a tart fruit with high vitamin C content. It is probably the fruit with the highest vitamin C content among all Brazilian fruit crops and it can be used to supplement daily vitamin C dose. This property has attracted the attention of consumers and, consequently, encou.. Read More»
