Authors: Y. Yuan,Z.B. Li1, Y.F. Ning, H.W. Deng, J.B. Shangguan, Y.S. Huang and G. Dai
Thirteen new polymorphic microsatellite markers in Fenneropenaeus penicillatus were isolated and characterized. The polymorphism of the thirteen microsatellite markers was tested by 30 individuals from Lianjiang, China. It showed that the number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 6 and the Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) was from 0.324 to 0.706... Read More»

Authors: M.M. Moulin, R. Rodrigues, H.C.C. Ramos, C.S. Bento, C.P. Sudr�©, L.S.A. Gon�§alves and A.P. Viana
Capsicum baccatum L. is one of the five Capsicum domesticated species and has multiple uses in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This species is also a valuable source of genes for chili pepper breeding, especially genes for disease resistance and fruit quality. However, knowledge of the genetic structure of C. baccatum is limited. A refer.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers for a hard-shelled mussel, Mytilus coruscus, and cross-species transfer
Authors: J.H. Kang, Y.K. Kim, J.Y. Park, E.S. Noh, J.E. Jeong, Y.S. Lee and T.J. Choi
The Korean mussel Mytilus coruscus, an endemic marine bivalve mollusk, is economically important. Its population is currently decreasing due to overexploitation and invasion of a more competitive species, Mytilus galloprovincialis. In this study, microsatellite markers for M. coruscus were developed using a cost-effective pyrosequencing technique. Among t.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite markers for Ginkgo biloba using 454 pyrosequencing
Authors: Q. Zhou, X.X. Wang, M. Xu, F.L. Cao, F.X. Yu and L.A. Xu
As a “living fossil” that is used to understand the evolutionary history of seed plants, Ginkgo biloba is a well-known multipurpose tree with edible seeds, medicinal properties, and ornamental value, but little is known about its genetic diversity. Microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR), markers have prove.. Read More»

Investigation of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum strains variability in Brazil
Authors: M.J. Abreu and E.A. Souza
White mold is a common bean disease caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, resulting in economic losses in Brazil and worldwide. Lack of knowledge about the population structure of the pathogen makes it difficult to control the disease. The aim of this study was to characterize strains of S. sclerotiorum obtained from experimental and commercial c.. Read More»

Population structure of the blood clam (Tegillarca granosa) in China based on microsatellite markers
Authors: Y.J. Wang, Q.G. Zeng and L.N. Xu
The blood clam, Tegillarca granosa, is widely cultivated in China. We isolated 6 microsatellite loci from T. granosa and used them to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of 5 widely distributed populations of blood clam collected from eastern and southeastern China. The allele number per locus varied from 4 to 9, and the polymorphism in.. Read More»

Genetic variability in Blanco Orejinegro breed cattle populations in Colombia
Authors: R. MartÃ?Ânez, A.P. LlinÃ?¡s and J.F. M.-Rocha
We analyzed population structure and genetic diversity in Blanco Orejinegro Creole cattle with 12 microsatellite markers, genotyping 138 individuals belonging to 7 commercial and 3 conservation herds. These markers showed a high level of polymorphism; 171 alleles were identified. The mean number of alleles per locus was 5.63 (3.82-6.58). The total number .. 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»

Authors: Q.F. Geng, J. He, J. Yang, E. Shi, D.B. Wang, W.X. Xu,N. Jeelani Z.S. Wang and H. Liu
Ulmus chenmoui (Ulmaceae) is an endangered tree found on Langya Mountain, eastern China. To better understand the population genetics of U. chenmoui and conserve the species, we developed microsatellite markers. Using a suppression-polymerase chain reaction technique, 74 compound microsatellite primer pairs were designed. Twel.. Read More»

Use of microsatellite markers to assign goats to their breeds
Authors: R.S. Aljumaah, M.M. Alobre and R.M. Al-Atiyat
We investigated the potential of 17 microsatellite markers for assigning Saudi goat individuals to their breeds. Three local breeds, Bishi, Jabali, and Tohami were genotyped using these markers, and Somali goats were used as a reference breed. The majority of alleles were shared between the breeds, except for some that were specific to each breed. The Gar.. Read More»
