Microsatellites
Development and characterization of microsatellite molecular markers for the eye mask frog Batrachyla taeniata (Girard, 1855)
Authors: Ingrid Cisternas-Medina, Juan Carlos Ortiz and Sandra Ferrada-Fuentes
Batrachyla taeniata (Batrachylidae) is a small frog from Chile and Argentina with a distributional range that spans more than 1500 km. However, their populations are threatened due to the change in land use, deforestation, and human settlements. Through massive sequencing runs in ION Torrent PGM, was built DNA fragment library, from which we fina.. Read More»

Isolation and cross-amplification of fifteen microsatellites for oil-rewarding Calceolaria species (Calceolariaceae)
Authors: M. Mur�ºa, G. Peralta, L. Carrasco, and F. P�©rez
Calceolaria is a diversified American genus whose species are mainly visited by oil-collecting bees, representing a highly specialized plant-pollinator system. However, although this is a unique plant system, different aspects of its ecology and evolution remain unexplored. In this study we characterized fifteen polymorphic mi.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis in Malaysian giant prawns using expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for stock improvement program
Authors: K.H. Atin, A. Christianus, N. Fatin, A.C. Lutas, M. Shabanimofrad and B. Subha
The Malaysian giant prawn is among the most commonly cultured species of the genus Macrobrachium. Stocks of giant prawns from four rivers in Peninsular Malaysia have been used for aquaculture over the past 25 years, which has led to repeated harvesting, restocking, and transplantation between rivers. Consequently, a stock impr.. Read More»

Farmer variety exchange along Amazonian rivers influences the genetic structure of manioc maintained in a regional Brazilian Gene Bank
Authors: S.B. Sousa, G.F. Silva, M.C. Dias, C.R. Clement and N.R. Sousa
Knowledge of agro-morphological and genetic variability of germplasm diversity is a prerequisite for its use in breeding. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic diversity of the manioc (Manihot esculenta) Active Germplasm Bank (AGB) at Embrapa Amazônia Ocidental using microsatellite markers. We evaluated 4.. Read More»

Genetic variability in banana diploids and nonparametric statistics of fragments associated with natural fruit finger drop
Authors: M.A. Rodrigues, E.P. Amorim, C.F. Ferreira, C.A.S. Ledo and J.R.F. Santana
Natural fruit finger drop in bananas is one of the major concerns of producers as well as consumers. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity among 15 diploid bananas with different levels of resistance to finger drop (RFD) using SSR and ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeat) markers, and assess the possibility..

Genetic variability of a Brazilian Capsicum frutescens germplasm collection using morphological characteristics and SSR markers
Authors: S.I.C. Carvalho, L.B. Bianchetti, C.F. Ragassi, C.S.C. Ribeiro, F.J.B. Reifschneider, G.S.C. Buso and F.G. Faleiro
Characterization studies provide essential information for the conservation and use of germplasm in plant breeding programs. In this study, 103 Capsicum frutescens L. accessions from the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Hortaliças, representative of all five Brazilian geographic regions, were characterized based on morp..

Assessment of allelic diversity among drought-resistant cotton genotypes using microsatellite markers
Authors: A. Javaid, F.S. Awan, F.M. Azhar and I.A. Khan
Drought, in conjunction with high temperature, is an important environmental constraint to cotton production. Development of cotton varieties with increased tolerance against adverse environmental conditions has been proposed as effective strategy for ensuring reliable yields. In the present study, 30 simple sequence repeat (S.. Read More»
