Genetic relationships among Heliconia (Heliconiaceae) species based on RAPD markers
Authors: L.P. Marouelli, P.W. Inglis, M.A. Ferreira and G.S.C. Buso
The family Heliconiaceae contains a single genus, Heliconia, with approximately 180 species of Neotropical origin. This genus was formerly allocated to the family Musaceae, but today forms its own family, in the order Zingiberales. The combination of inverted flowers, a single staminode and drupe fruits is an exclusive charact.. Read More»

RAPD analysis of the genetic diversity of mango (Mangifera indica) germplasm in Brazil
Authors: I.G.B. Souza, S.E.S. Valente, F.B. Britto, V.A.B. de Souza and P.S.C. Lima
We evaluated genetic variability of mango (Mangifera indica) accessions maintained in the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Meio-Norte in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, using RAPDs. Among these accessions, 35 originated from plantings in Brazil, six from the USA and one from India. Genomic DNA, extracted from leaf material usi.. Read More»

Development of eight novel microsatellite markers for Huoyan geese
Authors: Z.Z. Cao, D. Su, Y.Y. Zhao, M. Liu, M. Gao and X.H. Luan
In this study, we isolated microsatellite DNA from the Huoyan goose genome with magnetic beads. As a result, 150 positive clones were identified, and 148 microsatellites were found. Among the 148 microsatellites, 69.6% were perfect, 17.6% were imperfect, and the rest were compound type (12.8%). Twenty microsatellite primers we.. Read More»

Comparison of methods for estimates of molecular genetic diversity in genus Croton: influence of coefficients, clustering strategies and data projection
Authors: M.M. Scaldaferri, J.S. Freitas, J.G.P. Vieira, Z.S. Gon�§alves, A.M. Souza and C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva
We investigated 10 similarity (and disimilarity) coefficients in a set of 40 wild genotypes of Croton linearifolius subjected to analyses using hierarchical grouping methods, grouping methods by optimization and data projection in two-dimensional space. Genotypes were characterized by analyzing DNA polymorphism with t.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of tree peony germplasm using iPBS markers
Authors: Y.B. Duan, D.L. Guo, L.L. Guo, D.F. Wei and X.G. Hou
We examined the genetic diversity of 10 wild species (populations) and 55 varieties of tree peony using inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers. From a total of 36 iPBS primers, 16 were selected based on polymorphic amplification. The number of bands amplified by each primer ranged from 9 to 19, with an average of 12.88 bands per primer. The length of ba.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci for the genetic analysis of Lycoris radiata (Amaryllidaceae) and cross-amplification in other congeneric species
Authors: S.Q. Xuan, J.Y. Zheng, H. Wang, P. Gao, S.B. Zhou, K. Liu and G.-P. Zhu
Lycoris radiata is a perennial herb that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time and has two main medicinal components in its bulb, lycorine and galanthamine. However, the original microsatellite loci have not been developed for any species of Lycoris. Total genomic DNA was extracted from fresh bulbs usin.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of Ephedra species found in Pakistan
Authors: S. Ghafoor, M.M. Shah, H. Ahmad, Z.A. Swati, S.H. Shah, A. Pervez and U. Farooq
Ephedra, also known as “ma huang”, is a dioecious, drought- and frost-resistant, perennial, evergreen shrub with compelling medicinal value. The genus is represented by 42 species around the world, 9 of which were provisionally reported from Pakistan. Species of the genus have a controversial taxonomy due to their .. Read More»

Genetic structure in Brazilian breeding colonies of the Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja, Aves: Threskiornithidae)
Authors: Mino CI and Del Lama SN
Roseate Spoonbills (Platalea ajaja, Linnaeus) are wading birds present in two of the most important Brazilian wetlands: the Pantanal wetlands and Rio Grande do Sul marshes. Natural populations of these species have not been previously studied with variable nuclear molecular markers. In order to support decision making regardin.. Read More»

Association study of c.910A>G and c.1686C>G polymorphisms in XRCC1 gene with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in the Chinese population
Authors: W.F. Xia, X.P. Ma, X.R. Li, H. Dong and J.L. Yi
XRCC1 (human X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cell 1) gene is considered a potentially important gene influencing the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our analyses detected two allelic variants of XRCC1, c.910A>G and c.1686C>G. We aimed to investigate whether these polymorphisms influ.. Read More»

Molecular cytogenetic analysis of a ring-Y infertile male patient
Authors: Carvalho FM, Wolfgramm EV, Degasperi I, Verbeno BM, Vianna BA, Chagas FF, Perroni AMS, Paula F and Louro ID
In the present study, we report on the case of a 43-yearold male patient seeking for fertility assistance, who showed a seminal analysis and testicular biopsy of complete azoospermia. Peripheral blood culture for chromosome studies revealed a karyotype of 46 chromosomes with a ring-Y-chromosome that lost the long arm heterochr.. Read More»
