Microsatellite markers reveal genetic divergence among wild and cultured populations of Chinese sucker Myxocyprinus asiaticus
Authors: W.W. Cheng, D.Q. Wang, C.Y. Wang, H. Du and Q.W. Wei
Studies of genetic diversity and genetic population structure are critical for the conservation and management of endangered species. The Chinese sucker Myxocyprinus asiaticus is a vulnerable monotypic species in China, which is at a risk of decline owing to fluctuations in effective population size and other demographic and e..

Novel genomic microsatellite markers for genetic population and diversity studies of tropical scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) and their potential application in related Panulirus species
Authors: M. Delghandi, S. Goddard, D.R. Jerry, H.T. Dao, M.S.N. Al Hinai, W. Al-Amry and A. Al-Marzouqi
Fourteen polymorphic microsatellites with perfect di-, tri-, and tetra-nucleotide repeats were identified for Panulirus homarus using Roche 454 whole-genome sequencing method. Microsatellites were efficiently co-amplified in four multiplexes and a singleplex, providing consistent and easily interpretable genotypes. The number .. Read More»

Genetic structure of the threatened Hopea chinensis in the Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam
Authors: N.T.P. Trang and L. Triest
Hopea chinensis Hand-Mazz (synonym H. hongayensis Tardieu), is a wind and insect pollinated species. It is a threatened species known only from two locations: Quang Ninh (Vietnam) and Guangxi (China). As an endemic species, it is worth preserving both for dipterocarp biodiversity, as well as for its medicinal use and economic .. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra
Authors: Z.B. Li1, G. Dai1, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning,Y.Y. Li, R.B. Chen, Y.S. Huang andY. Yuan
The sea cucumber Holothuria scabra is an endangered species. In this study, nine new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed and tested in 30 individuals. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 5, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.1200 to 0.7391 and from 0.2408 to 0.5983, respectively. No loci significantly deviated from ..

Screening and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers from sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota
Authors: J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li, Y.F. Ning, Y.S. Huang, Y. Yuan, J. Lu, B.B. Li and X.Q. Mao
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota has high medicinal value and rich nutritional edible value, and thus is a commercially important aquatic product in China. Microsatellite loci were developed and screened using a fast isolation protocol and amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats. In this study, 16 novel polymorphic m..

Acrocomia emensis (Arecaceae) genetic structure and diversity using SSR molecular markers
Authors: D.S. Neiva, A.F. Melo J�ºnior, D.A. Oliveira, V.A. Royo, M.M. Brand�£o and E.V. Menezes
Acrocomia emensis, popularly known as the creeping tucum, belongs to the family Arecaceae, and is an oilseed specie of the Brazilian Savannah. The expansion of agricultural activity has rapidly destroyed its natural habitat, leading to a decrease in its population size. Genetic studies can be used to investigate the genetic variability, and may assist wit.. Read More»

Population structure of jatropha and its implication for the breeding program
Authors: D.N. Santos, J.L. Ferreira, M. Pasqual, A.L. Generoso3, T.A. Setotaw, G.M.A. Can�§ado and W.A. Vendrame
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has potential as an oilseed crop that requires the development of technology for its exploitation. The objective of this study was to assess the population structure and the genetic diversity in jatropha accessions at a global level using simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Jatropha accessions (N = 109) from 10 co.. Read More»
