Authors: X.J. Bu, L. Liu, L. Wang and L.W. Nie
Twenty-one novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis (Trionychidae). This is a commonly consumed Asian species, especially in China, where it is reared in large numbers on farms. We screened 34 unrelated individuals from Wuhu of Anhui province in China and det..

Isolation and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite loci in Atrina vexillum Born (Pinnidae)
Authors: Y.S. Huang, Q.H. Li, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning and G. Dai
The pen shell, Atrina vexillum Born, is an edible shellfish that is widely consumed in the Asia-Pacific region. In this study, 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from A. vexillum, and 30 wild individuals were used to evaluate the degree of polymorphism of these markers. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 8. The polymorphism inf.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers of sea cucumber Stichopus horrens
Authors: Z.B. Li, G. Dai, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, Y.Y. Li, R.B. Chen, Y. Yuan and Y.S. Huang
Curry fish (Stichopus horrens) is a tropical holothurian species and is widely distributed in the India-West Pacific. In the present study, 9 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for S. horrens. These loci were tested in 30 individuals from Hainan Island in China. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 5. The polymorphism inform.. Read More»

Comparative analysis of shell color variety and genetic structure among five high-quality freshwater pearl mussel populations
Authors: L.M. Wu, Z.Y. Bai, X.J. Liu, C. Jin, H. Yin and J.L. Li
Four Hyriopsis cumingii populations, a breeding population (BP), a cultured population (FP), two wild populations from Poyang Lake (PY) and Dongting Lake (DT), and an H. schlegelii population were collected (JX), and the first filial generations (F1) were bred synchronously. The shell nacre polymorphisms, population genetic di.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of hatchery populations of Korean spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) using multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays
Authors: H.S. An, H.Y. Kim, J.B. Kim, D.S. Chang, K.D. Park, J.W. Lee, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An
The spotted sea bass, Lateolabrax maculatus, is an important commercial and recreational fishery resource in Korea. Aquacultural production of this species has increased because of recent resource declines, growing consumption, and ongoing government-operated stock release programs. Therefore, the genetic characterization of h.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel microsatellite markers from Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens, Osphronemidae, Anabantoidei) and their transferability to related species, B. smaragdina and B. imbellis
Authors: V. Chailertrit, A. Swatdipong, S. Peyachoknagul, J. Salaenoi and K. Srikulnath
Ten novel microsatellite markers were developed and characterized from Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). Nine of ten markers were polymorphic, exhibiting an allelic number (NA) from 2 to 6 alleles per locus. The effective number of alleles (NE) ranged from 1.60 to 3.08 (average of 2.30). The observed (HO) and expected (.. Read More»

Segregation and genetic linkage analyses of river catfish, Mystus nemurus, based on microsatellite markers
Authors: B.P. Hoh, S.S. Siraj, S.G. Tan and K. Yusoff
The river catfish Mystus nemurus is an important fresh water species for aquaculture in Malaysia. We report the first genetic linkage map of M. nemurus based on segregation analysis and a linkage map using newly developed microsatellite markers of M. nemurus. A total of 70 of the newly developed polymorphic DNA microsatellite markers were analyzed on pedi.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite markers for the endangered fish, the slender shiner Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa and cross-species amplification across five related species
Authors: K.S. Ki, S.J. Moo, S.H. Han2, K.Y. Kim and I.C. Bang
The slender shiner Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa (Cypriniformes; Cyprinidae; Gobioninae) is an endangered freshwater fish species endemic to Korea. The current strategies for its conservation involve the study of population genetic characters and identification of management units. These strategies require suitable molecular mar.. Read More»

Use of microsatellite markers in molecular analysis of segregating populations of papaya (Carica papaya L.) derived from backcrossing
Authors: F.O. Pinto, M.G. Pereira, L.N. Luz, D.L. Cardozo, H.C.C. Ramos and C.M.P. Macedo
Brazil is the world leader in papaya production. However, only a small number of cultivars are registered for commercial planting, mainly owing to delays in obtaining cultivars and the high costs of the field phase of breeding programs. These costs can be reduced when molecular tools are combined with conventional breeding methods. In the present study, w.. Read More»
