Mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA analyses showed comparative genetic diversity between parent and offspring populations of Korean black rockfish in a hatchery facility

Authors: H.S. An, J.W. Lee, J.Y. Park, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An

The black rockfish, Sebastes inermis (Sebastidae), is an important commercial fishery resource in Korea. As a preliminary investigation into the effect of artificial reproduction in a hatchery facility, the genetic divergence between parent and offspring populations of black rockfish was accessed using 10 polymorphic nuclear microsatellite DNA loci and a ..

Genetic diversity analysis of oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, in Yellow River using microsatellite marker

Authors: H. Qiao1, D. Lv2, S.F. Jiang1, S.M. Sun1, Y.S. Gong1, Y.W. Xiong1, S.B. Jin1 and H.T. Fu1

To assess the genetic status of this species, the genetic diversity of wild Macrobrachium nipponense from seven geographic locations in the Yellow River basin were investigated using 20 polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci. The genetic diversity between populations was indicated by the mean number of alleles per locus and mean observed heterozygosity (H) a.. Read More»

Authors: S.Q. Yan, Y.M. Li, C.Y. Bai, X.M. Ding, W.J. Li, J.N. Hou,Z.H. Zhao and J.H. Sun

Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides) is one of the most important fur-bearing animal species. Information about the genetic background of farmed Chinese raccoon dogs is limited. In this study, 17 polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and identified from an (AC)n-microsatellite-enriched library of Chinese raccoon dogs. The.. Read More»

Comparative genetic diversity of wild and hatchery-produced populations of tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) using multiplex PCR assays with polymorphic microsatellite markers

Authors: H.S. An, E.-M. Kim, H.W. Kang, H.S. Han, J.W. Lee, J.Y. Park,J.I. Myeong and C.M. An

The tongue sole, Cynoglossus semilaevis (Cynoglossidae), is one of the most economically important fishery resources in Korea. This study presents a preliminary investigation of the future viability of the complete aquaculture of tongue sole in Korea. Specifically, possible differences in genetic variability between wild populations of tongue sole from Ko.. Read More»

Comparative genetic variability between broodstock and offspring populations of Korean starry flounder used for stock enhancement in a hatchery by using microsatellite DNA analyses

Authors: H.S. An, E.-H. Shin, J.W. Lee, M.M. Nam, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An

Korean starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus (Pleuronectidae), is one of the most economically important fishery resources in Korea. We investigated the effect of current artificial reproduction in a hatchery facility, genetic divergence between the broodstock and their offspring populations of starry flounder in a hatchery strain to be stocked into natu..

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Pampus argenteus using SSR markers

Authors: Y. Qin, G. Shi and Y. Sun

In order to evaluate the germplasm resources of Pampus argenteus silver pomfret, the genetic diversity and population structure of 132 silver pomfret samples collected from the three regions (the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea) were examined using 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci. Results indicated a high level of genetic diversity. Th.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite markers in the rock bream fish Oplegnathus fasciatus

Authors: X.X. Sun, D.D. Xu, B. Lou, S.L. Li, W. Zhan, Y.R. Zhang and J. Xin

The rock bream fish Oplegnathus fasciatus is one of the most popular aquaculture species in China. In the present study, 15 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from a wild population of O. fasciatus from the Zhoushan coast of China. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from 4 to 9 in a sample of 30 individua.. Read More»

Selection of high heterozygosity popcorn varieties in Brazil based on SSR markers

Authors: I.B.O. Eloi, C.A. Mangolin, C.A. Scapim, C.S. Gon�§alves and M.F.P.S. Machado

We analyzed genetic structure and diversity among eight populations of popcorn, using SSR loci as genetic markers. Our objectives were to select SSR loci that could be used to estimate genetic diversity within popcorn populations, and to analyze the genetic structure of promising populations with high levels of heterozygosity ..

Microsatellite markers for assessing genetic diversity of the medicinal plant Paris polyphylla var. chinensis (Trilliaceae)

Authors: J.Y. Zheng, H. Wang, X.X. Chen, P. Wang, P. Gao, X.N. Li and G.P. Zhu

Paris polyphylla var. chinensis is a perennial herb with medicinal properties that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, this plant has been on the edge of extinction during the last few decades because of excessive deforestation based on the intense ethnopharmaceutical interest. We isolated 12 microsatellit..

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for the Chinese endangered medicinal plant Tetrastigma hemsleyanum

Authors: Y.H. Wang, N. Chen, Y.C. Zhang and C.X. Fu

Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (Vitaceae) is an endangered medicinal plant endemic to China. Because of its widely known efficacy for treating many health problems, wild resources of this species are currently undergoing a rapid decline. Few studies have been conducted examining the population genetics or development of microsatellite loci for this plant. In thi.. Read More»
