Identification of molecular markers associated with fruit traits in olive and assessment of olive core collection with AFLP markers and fruit traits
Authors: M. Ipek, M. Seker, A. Ipek and M.K. Gul
The purpose of this study was to characterize olive core collection with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers and fruit traits and to determine AFLP markers significantly associated with these fruit characters in olive. A total of 168 polymorphic AFLP markers generated by five primer combinations and nine fruit traits were used to charact.. Read More»

Genetic distance estimates among single cross hybrids and correlation with specific combining ability and yield in corn double cross hybrids
Authors: M. Balestre, J.C. Machado, J.L. Lima, J.C. Souza and L. N�³brega Filho
The objective of the present study was to correlate the genetic distances (GD) of single cross hybrids with yield, heterosis and specific combining ability (SCA) in the double cross hybrid synthesis. For this, 10 single cross commercial hybrids were used from different companies, and all the possible double hybrids were synthesized by a complete dialell. .. Read More»

Characterization of chloroplast DNA microsatellites from Saccharum spp and related species
Authors: D.M. Melotto-Passarin, E.V. Tambarussi, K. Dressano, V.F. De Martin and H. Carrer
Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), and their flanking regions in chloroplast genomes (plastomes) of some species of the family Poaceae were analyzed in silico to look for DNA sequence variations. Comparison of the complete chloroplast DNA sequences (cpDNAs) of sugarcane (Saccharum hybrid cv. SP-80-3280 and S. .. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in CAPN and leptin genes associated with meat color and tenderness in Nellore cattle
Authors: L.F.B. Pinto, J.B.S. Ferraz, V.B. Pedrosa, J.P. Eler, F.V. Meirelles, M.N. Bonin, F.M. Rezende, M.E. Carvalho, D.C. Cucco and R.C.G. Silva
We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms in calpain, leptin, leptin receptor, and growth hormone receptor genes and their association with color, drip and cooking losses of longissimus muscle at 7, 14 and 21 days postmortem in 638 purebred Nellore bulls slaughtered between 22 and 26 months of age. Meat samples were vacuum-p.. Read More»

Association between a polymorphism in intron 3 of the bovine growth hormone gene and growth traits in Holstein heifers in Antioquia
Authors: J. Arango, J.J. Echeverri and A. L�³pez
The aim of this study was to determine the association between a polymorphism in intron 3 of the bovine growth hormone (BGH) gene and growth traits related to the start of the reproductive life of Holstein heifers. This research was conducted using 480 Holstein heifers belonging to eight herds in three municipalities in the De.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers derived from Japanese scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) expressed sequence tags
Authors: Y.F. Li, X.G. Gao, W.D. Liu, Y. Tian, L. Gao, S.L. Li and C.B. He
Japanese scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) is a cold-water shellfish, and a species of economic importance in China. In this study, we developed and evaluated simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from the expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of M. yessoensis. The characteristics of 12 EST-SSR loci were investigated in 30 individual scallops, and the result reve.. Read More»

Microsatellite loci and genetic structure of artificial populations of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
Authors: L.O.S. Anjos, R.F. Peixoto Jr, D.M.S. Chanquinie, L.R. Pinto,S.A. Creste, L.L. Dinardo-Miranda, M.G.A. Landell, E.V. Tambarussi and R. Vencovsky
Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) is a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) (Fabr., 1794). Studies on the genetic diversity of C. flavipes are hampered by the lack of highly polymorphic molecular markers. In this report, a set of 11 microsatellite loci were developed from an enr..

Molecular mapping of quantitative trait loci for drought tolerance in maize plants
Authors: H. Rahman, S. Pekic, V. Lazic-Jancic, S.A. Quarrie, S.M.A. Shah, A. Pervez and M.M. Shah
Drought tolerance is one of the most important but complex traits of crops. We looked for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that affect drought tolerance in maize. Two maize inbreds and their advanced lines were evaluated for drought-related traits. A genetic linkage map developed using RFLP markers was used to identify QTLs asso.. Read More»

Development of a cassava core collection based on single nucleotide polymorphism markers
Authors: E.J. Oliveira, C.F. Ferreira, V.S. Santos and G.A.F. Oliveira
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were used in the largest cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm collection from Brazil to develop core collections based on the maximization strategy. Subsets with 61, 64, 84, 128, 256, and 384 cassava accessions were selected and named PoHEU, MST64, PoRAN, MST128, MS.. Read More»

Genetic assessment of the Atlantic Forest bristle porcupine, Chaetomys subspinosus (Rodentia: Erethizontidae), an endemic species threatened with extinction
Authors: C.G. Oliveira, R.A. Martinez, G.A.F. Gin�©, D.M. Faria and F.A. Gaiotto
The bristle-spined porcupine, Chaetomys subspinosus, an endemic rodent from Atlantic Forest, was considered to be abundant in the recent past, but population reductions due to habitat loss and expansion of human activities caused this species to be included in the “vulnerable” category of the World Conservation Uni..
