Population genetic characterization of the Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), using novel microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA gene sequences
Authors: S.R. Kim, K.Y. Kim, J.S. Jeong, M.J. Kim, K.-H. Kim, K.H. Choi and I. Kim
The Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai Guérin-Méneville, 1861 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), is an important natural resource of industrial value for silk fiber production. Owing to a lack of geographic and population genetic information, systematic domestication of An. yamamai has not been possible yet. In th.. Read More»

Development of novel and polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci from Haliotis ovina
Authors: Z.B. Li, X.J. Tian, J.B. Shangguan, Y.Y. Cao, G.L. Zhang and L.N. Chen
Twelve microsatellite loci were developed from Haliotis ovina by the magnetic bead hybridization method. Genetic variability was assessed using 30 individuals from 3 wild populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 5, and the polymorphism information content ranged from 0.1228 to 0.6542. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Bromeliaceae species from the Atlantic Forest
Authors: Y. Sheu, A.S. Cunha-Machado, A.B.P.L. Gontijo, F.C. Favoreto,T.C.B. Soares and F.D. Miranda
The Bromeliaceae family includes a range of species used for many purposes, including ornamental use and use as food, medicine, feed, and fiber. The state of Espírito Santo, Brazil is a center of diversity for this family in the Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the genetic diversity of five populations of the Bromeliaceae .. Read More»

New loci of Lychnophora ericoides and transferability to Lychnophora pinaster, endangered medicinal species from Brazil
Authors: M.A.R. Vieira, M.O.M. Marques, L.L. Haber, B.B.Z. Vigna, M.M. Bajay, J.B. Pinheiro, A.P. Souza, J. Semir and M.I. Zucch
Lychnophora ericoides and Lychnophora pinaster are species used in popular medicine as analgesic or anti-inflammatory 21 simple sequence repeat loci of L. ericoides were developed and transferred to L. pinaster. Three populations of L. ericoides and 2 populations of L. pinaster were evaluated; they were collected in the State of Minas Gerais. Population p.. Read More»

Development and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota
Authors: G. Dai, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, H.W. Deng,Y. Yuan, Y.S. Huang, H. Yang and J. Lu
Holothuria leucospilota is a tropical holothurian species that is widely distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical India-Western Pacific Region. Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from H. leucospilota by using the protocol fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats and tested in 30 individ..

Genetic variability of Brazilian Indian landraces of Arachis hypogaea L.
Authors: F.O. Freitas, M.C. Moretzsohn, J.F.M. Valls
The Kayabi Indians who inhabit the Xingu Indigenous Park, located in West Central Brazil, have grown and managed peanuts for a long time. A great number of landraces are being maintained by these tribes and some of this germplasm has morphological traits that exceed the variation described in the taxonomic literature. Here, we..

Genetic diversity based on SSR analysis of the cultured snakehead fish, Channa argus, (Channidae) in China
Authors: S.-R. Zhu, J.-L. Li, N. Xie, L.-M. Zhu, Q. Wang and G.-H. Yue
The snakehead fish Channa argus is an important food fish in China. We identified six microsatellite loci for C. argus. These six microsatellite loci and four other microsatellite markers were used to analyze genetic diversity in four cultured populations of C. argus (SD, JX, HN, and ZJ) and determin.. Read More»

Authors: D.M. Naim, S. Telfer, S. Tatman, S. Bird, S.J. Kemp and P.C. Watts
Movement is an important life history trait that can have an impact on local adaptation, and other evolutionary phenomena. We used a combination of nestbox survey data and genetic techniques (genotyping at 10 microsatellite loci) to quantify patterns of movement in common dormice Muscardinus avellanarius at two distinct sites ..

Polymorphic microsatellite markers in the false kelpfish Sebastiscus marmoratus: isolation, characterization, and cross-species amplification
Authors: H.B. Liu, S.F. Liu, J.B. Ye, Y.J. Yuan, S.X. Dingand Z.M. Zhuang
A (GT/CA)13-microsatellite-enriched genomic library of the false kelpfish Sebastiscus marmoratus was constructed, and 20 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized. The polymorphisms were investigated in 48 wild individuals from a single population collected from the northern Yellow Sea. The numbers of all.. Read More»
