Authors: C.F. Zhao, T. Chen*, Q.Y. Zhao, L.H. Zhou, L. Zhao, Y.D. Zhang, Z. Zhu, S. Yao and C.L. Wang
Panicle exsertion (PE) is an important morphological trait that is closely associated with spikelet fertility and grain yield. To understand the genetic basis of PE and its relationships with yield and yield-related traits, a recombinant inbred population consisting of 240 lines derived from a cross between an Indica cultivar ..

Association between a polymorphism of the �±-lactalbumin gene and milk production traits in Chinese Holstein cows
Authors: J.P. Zhou and C.H. Dong
The traits particularly important for milk production include milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, and the somatic cell score. Alpha-lactalbumin (α-LA) is an important whey protein of cow milk, and is also present in the milk of many other mammalian species. In this study, we analyzed the genetic polymorphisms of the α-LA gene and t.. Read More»

Novel polymorphisms of the PRKAG2 gene and their association with body measurement and meat quality traits in Qinchuan cattle
Authors: C.Z. Fu,W.Q. Tian,Y.K. Li,S.J. Wei,G. Cheng,H.B. Wang and L.S. Zan
Body measurement and meat quality traits play important roles in the evaluation of productivity and economy in cattle, which are influenced by genes and environmental factors. PRKAG2, which encodes the γ2 regulatory subunit of AMPK, is associated with key metabolic pathways in muscle. We detected bovine PRKAG2 gene polymorphisms and analyzed their a.. Read More»

Screening of inbred popcorn lines for tolerance to low phosphorus
Authors: O.J.A.P. Santos, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, C.A. Scapim, de S.M. de Sousa, C.R. Castro, V. Y. Baba and A.L.M. de Oliveira
Increasing phosphorus use efficiency in agriculture is essential for sustainable food production. Thus, the aims of this study were: i) to identify phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) in popcorn lines during the early plant stages, ii) to study the relationship between traits correlated with PUE, and iii) to analyze genetic divers..

Diversity and genetic parameter estimates for yield and its components in Jatropha curcas L.
Authors: R.G. Freitas, L.A.S. Dias, P.M.R. Cardoso, A.B. Evaristo, M.F. Silva and N.M. Ara�ºjo
Jatropha curcas L. is one of the most promising oilseeds for biodiesel and biokerosene production, but few basic studies or breeding programs have been conducted for the species. We estimated genetic parameters and diversity based on 10 yield traits in 77 half-sib progenies of J. curcas after 52 months in the field, and evaluated correlations between them.. Read More»

DNA barcoding of populations of Fallopia multiflora, an indigenous herb in China
Authors: X.Q. Sun, M.M. Bai, H. Yao, J.L. Guo, M.M. Li and Y.Y. Hang
Fallopia multiflora, locally known as Heshouwu, is one of the most important and widely used Chinese medicinal herbs. However, there is still considerable confusion concerning its different provenances. DNA barcoding is a recent aid to taxonomic identification and uses a short standardized DNA region to discriminate plant species. We assessed the applicab.. Read More»

Polymorphisms of the myostatin gene (MSTN) and its relationship with growth traits in goat breeds
Authors: Z.J. Zhang, Y.H. Ling, L.J. Wang, Y.F. Hang, X.F. Guo, Y.H. Zhang, J.P. Dingand X.R. Zhang
Mutations in the myostatin (MSTN) gene can inactivate its expression and result in a non-functional protein, which leads to dramatic muscularity and a “double-muscling” phenomenon in many species. Using gene sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism methods, polymorphisms of the MSTN gene were investigate.. Read More»

Genetic dissection of agronomic traits within a segregating population of breeding table grapes
Authors: A.P. Viana, S. Riaz and M.A. Walker
Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are of great economic importance worldwide. We genetically dissected a table grape breeding population, using hidden Markov models (HMM) applied to quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses. We evaluated and dissected the following traits: total number of clusters, leaf score, peduncle length, cluster length, number of berries, weigh.. Read More»

In silico analysis of diverse endophytic fungi by using ITS1-5,8S-ITS2 sequences with isolates from various plant families in Brazil
Authors: S.A. Rhoden, A. Garcia, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Brazil has a great diversity of plants, and considering that all plant species studied to date have endophytic microorganisms (bacteria or fungi), the country is a resource in the search for bioactive compounds. Endophytes live within plants without causing damage and may be in dynamic equilibrium with the health of the plant. Endophytic fungi can be iden.. Read More»

Characterization of microsatellite markers and their correlations with growth traits in Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi)
Authors: T.L. Yi, L. Fang, X.F. Liang, L.F. Sun, J. Li, X.N. Luo, W.J. Guo, Y.Q. Dou and J. Sun
Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a traditionally cultured freshwater fish with high commercial value in China. To facilitate marker-assisted selection for genetic improvement of this species, 100 microsatellite markers identifi ed in previous studies were characterized in the 25 largest and 25 smallest individuals. Twenty polymorphic loci were used to.. Read More»
