Development and characterization of microsatellite molecular markers for the eye mask frog Batrachyla taeniata (Girard, 1855)

Authors: Ingrid Cisternas-Medina, Juan Carlos Ortiz and Sandra Ferrada-Fuentes

Batrachyla taeniata (Batrachylidae) is a small frog from Chile and Argentina with a distributional range that spans more than 1500 km. However, their populations are threatened due to the change in land use, deforestation, and human settlements. Through massive sequencing runs in ION Torrent PGM, was built DNA fragment library, from which we fina.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of twenty-three microsatellite loci for the black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii

Authors: F. Wang, H. B. Jiang, C. H. Han, G. P Cui, C. F. Jia, H.T. Ma

Twenty-three polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from the black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii, with an enriched partial genomic library by magnetic beads and polymorphism of these loci was assessed in 32 individuals from a wild population. The loci yielded 2-19 alleles per locus, the observed, expected heterozygosit.. Read More»

Development and characterization of twenty-eight polymorphic microsatellite for rice field eel (Monopterus albus) using RAD tag sequencing

Authors: Feifei Zhang, Yulan Wang, Min Xu, Lili Wei, Qiwang Zhong

Monopterus albus is a special economic aquatic animal in China. Most of cultured M. albus are wild species captured from different areas, and this makes the wild resources of M. albus are under great threat. Microsatellite markers can help us understand the genetic resources of M. albus in different areas. In this study, using.. Read More»

Hierarchical outcrossing among and within fruits in Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl. (Lecythidaceae) open-pollinated seeds

Authors: L.D. Giustina, A.B. Baldoni, H. Tonini, V.C.R. Azevedo, L.G. Neves, F.D. Tardin, A.M. Sebbenn

Knowing the mating patterns is important to determine the number of trees necessary for seed collection for conservation ex situ, tree breeding and environmental reforestation purposes. We investigated B. excelsa individuals and fruits, to check mating system index variations in a population by using open-pollinated seeds whic.. Read More»

Isolation and cross-amplification of fifteen microsatellites for oil-rewarding Calceolaria species (Calceolariaceae)

Authors: M. MurĂ?Âșa, G. Peralta, L. Carrasco, and F. PĂ?©rez

Calceolaria is a diversified American genus whose species are mainly visited by oil-collecting bees, representing a highly specialized plant-pollinator system. However, although this is a unique plant system, different aspects of its ecology and evolution remain unexplored. In this study we characterized fifteen polymorphic mi.. Read More»
