Microsatellite
First isolation and characterization of genomic SSR markers for the giant red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827)
Authors: R. Cannas S. Marcias F. Sacco A. Cau A.M. Deiana
Fourteen microsatellite markers were isolated from the giant red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827) using the FIASCO protocol (fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats). Polymorphism was assessed in 30 individuals from two localities of the western Mediterranean basin (N = 20 from Sardinia and N = 10 from Sicily); nine loci showed .. Read More»

Molecular characterization of wheat germplasm using microsatellite markers
Authors: S. Ijaz and I.A. Khan
We investigated the genetic diversity of 63 wheat genotypes, composed of 48 accessions and 15 varieties, using 56 polymorphic simple sequence repeat primers. One hundred and eighty-six loci were found, with a mean of 131.26 alleles per locus. Cluster analysis based on microsatellite allelic diversity discriminated the accessions and varieties into di..

Population genetic analysis and conservation strategies for redtail shrimp Fenneropenaeus penicillatus using ten microsatellite markers
Authors: Y.Y. Cao, J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li
Fenneropenaeus penicillatus, which is on the Red List of Endangered Species for China, is an important shrimp species. However, there is not enough genetic information on F. penicillatus for conservation and management purposes. Ten microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of new microsatellite markers in the pen shell Atrina pectinata (Pinnidae)
Authors: X.J. Chen Z.B. Li L. Chen Y.Y. Cao Q.H. Li
The pen shell, Atrina pectinata, is a commercially important bivalve species, widely consumed in the Asian Pacific region. We identified 16 new microsatellite makers for A. pectinata using a modified fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeat protocols; 27 individuals were collected from Xiamen to evaluate the degree of polymorphism. The number of.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of the mite Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) collected from honey bees Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil
Authors: R. Strapazzon, F.E. Carneiro, J.C.V. Guerra Jr. and G. Moretto
The mite Varroa destructor is an ectoparasite that is considered a major pest for beekeeping with European honey bees. However, Africanized bee colonies are less threatened by this ectoparasite, because infestation levels remain low in these bees. The low reproductive ability of female mites of the Japanese biotype (J), introduced to Brazil early in .. Read More»

Patterns of genetic diversity and population structure of the threatened Houbara and Macqueen�s bustards as revealed by microsatellite markers
Authors: A. Korrida S. Jadallah F. Chbel A. Amin-Alami M. Ahra S. Aggrey
The Houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata) is a threatened avian species that is rapidly declining throughout its range, especially in North Africa, Asia and the Canary Islands. We examined the population structure and genetic variation for the three Houbara subspecies C. undulata undulata, C. u. fuertaventurae and C. u. macqueenii. A total of 266 birds from.. Read More»

Selection pressures have driven population differentiation of domesticated and wild common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)
Authors: L.H. Xu C.H. Wang J. Wang Z.J. Dong Y.Q. Ma X.X. Yang
Selection pressures are the principle evolutionary forces for the genetic differentiation of populations. Recent changes in selection pressures on mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite have been described in a wide variety of organisms. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) has experienced strong selection pressure, in particular artificial selection, during i.. Read More»

Development and characterization of 22 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the balloon flower Platycodon grandiflorum (Campanulaceae)
Authors: J.Y. Song G.-A. Lee M.-S. Yoon K.-H. Ma Y.-M. Choi J.-R. Lee H.-J. Park M.-C. Lee
The balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC.) is a perennial flowering plant of the Campanulaceae family; it is the only member of the genus Platycodon. Information on the genetic diversity of balloon flower populations is of great importance for the conservation and germplasm utilization of this flowering plant. Twenty-two polymorphic microsatellite l.. Read More»

Identification and characterization of microsatellite markers from the tropical sea cucumber, Stichopus horrens (Selenka)
Authors: J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li, Y. Yuan and Y.S. Huang
Tropical commercial sea cucumber Stichopus horrens is extensively distributed throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region, and wild stocks have been severely depleted over the past decade. In this study, we used the microsatellite enrichment library of S. horrens to identify and characterize 13 microsatellite loci, including 11 polymorphic loci and 2 mono.. Read More»

Selecting soybean resistant to the cyst nematode Heterodera glycines using simple sequence repeat (microssatellite) markers
Authors: S.M.C.G. Espindola O.T. Hamawaki A.P. Oliveira C.D.L. Hamawaki R.L. Hamawaki L.M. Takahashi
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major cause of soybean yield reduction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of marker-assisted selection to identify genotypes resistant to SCN race 3 infection, using Sat_168 and Sat-141 resistance quantitative trait loci. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions, using soybean.. Read More»
