Segregation analysis of microsatellite (SSR) markers in sugarcane polyploids
Authors: X. Lu, H. Zhou, Y.-B. Pan, C.Y. Chen, J.R. Zhu, P.H. Chen, Y.-R. Li, Q. Cai and R.K. Chen
No information is available on segregation analysis of DNA markers involving both pollen and self-progeny. Therefore, we used capillary electrophoresis- and fluorescence-based DNA fingerprinting together with single pollen collection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to investigate simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker segregation among 964 single pollens..

Polymorphic microsatellite markers in the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis
Authors: Y. Song, M.F. Li, J. Xu, Z. Zha and N.Z. Chen
Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant and is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. This medicinal herb is well known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, most notably as an ingredient of the hemostatic compound “Yunnan Baiyao”. However, over-exploitation of the plant for economic purposes is push.. Read More»

High polymorphism at microsatellite loci in the Chinese donkey
Authors: R.F. Zhang, W.M. Xie, T. Zhang and C.Z. Lei
To reveal the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships between Chinese donkey breeds, 415 individuals representing ten breeds were investigated using ten microsatellite markers. The observed number of alleles, mean effective number of alleles (NE), mean expected heterozygosity (HE), and polymorphic information content .. Read More»

Ancestry analysis of locally adapted Crespa goats from southernmost Brazil
Authors: D.D. Lopes, G.P. Fern�¡ndez, M. Poli, G.R.P. Moreira, G.L. Gon�§alves and T.R.O. Freitas
Crespa goats are phenotypically similar to the Angora breed, and are traditionally reared in small, low-tech farms in southernmost Brazil. Whether they represent degenerated remnants of pure Angora goats or result from foreign breeds introduced during colonial times and recently mixed with commercial breeds is unknown. Since t..

Screening and identification of microsatellite markers associated with cold tolerance in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
Authors: H.P. Zhu, Z.G. Liu, M.X. Lu, F.Y. Gao, X.L. Ke and Z.H. Huang
Tilapia is an important fish cultured in tropical and subtropical areas. Cold sensitivity limits the expansion of tilapia culture into colder regions of the world, and mass mortalities of cultured tilapia have been reported due to severe cold currents in winter. Since the late 1990s, several strains of Nile tilapia have been domesticated to improve the ab.. Read More»

Microsatellite DNA markers and their correlation with growth traits in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi)
Authors: L.F. Sun, J. Li, X.F. Liang, T.L. Yi, L. Fang, J. Sun, Y.H. He, X.N. Luo, Y.Q. Dou and M. Yang
The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a traditionally cultured freshwater fish with high commercial value in China. To facilitate marker-assisted selection in genetic improvement of this species, 120 microsatellite markers from the literature were characterized in the 25 largest and 25 smallest individuals. Eighteen polymorphic loci were then used to g.. Read More»

Isolation, characterization, and multiplexing of novel microsatellite markers for the tropical scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus)
Authors: M. Delghandi, S. Goddard, D.R. Jerry, H.T. Dao, H. Afzal and S.S. Al-Jardani
Of the various spiny lobster species in the tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific region, the tropical scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) supports one of the most commercially valuable fishery resources in many coastal African and Asian countries. The last decade has witnessed a serious decline in the wild populations of this species. Knowle.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic EST-SSR and genomic SSR markers in spotted mandarin fish (Siniperca scherzeri Steindachne)
Authors: Y.Q. Dou, X.F. Liang, M. Yang, C.X. Tian, S. He and W.J. Guo
Spotted mandarin fish (Siniperca scherzeri Steindachne) feed solely on live fry of other fish species once the fry start feeding in the wild. In the present study, 26 polymorphic transcriptome-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 14 genomic SSR markers were developed and characterized in S. scherzeri Steindachne by combining a biotin-enrichmen..
