Authors: X.F. Li, Y.X. Chen, W.W. Ye, X.F. Tao, J.H. Zhu, S. Wu and L.Q. Lou
The human X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) gene is a potentially gene determining hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between XRCC1 and susceptibility to HCC. The association of XRCC1 polymorphisms with HCC susceptibility was investigated in.. Read More»

Marker-assisted selection of Fusarium wilt-resistant and gynoecious melon (Cucumis melo L.)
Authors: P. Gao, S. Liu, Q.L. Zhu and F.S. Luan
In this study, molecular markers were designed based on the sex determination genes ACS7 (A) and WIP1 (G) and the domain in the Fusarium oxysporum-resistant gene Fom-2 (F) in order to achieve selection of F. oxysporum-resistant gynoecious melon plants. Markers of A and F are cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences that distinguish alleles according to res.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers for the Cabre�ºva tree, Myroxylon peruiferum (Fabaceae), an endangered medicinal species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Authors: K.D. Schwarcz, M.M. Bajay, C.M.T. Macrini, V.L.P. Salazar, A.P. Souza, J.B. Pinheiro, P.H.S. Brancalion, R.R. Rodrigues and M.I. Zucchi
The Cabreúva tree, Myroxylon peruiferum, is an endangered tropical species from Brazil used in forest restoration projects. It is known for its medicinal properties. Eleven microsatellite markers were developed for this species, from a microsatellite-enriched library. Nine of these markers, characterized in 30 .. Read More»

Comparison of RAPD and ISSR markers for assessment of genetic diversity among endangered rare Dalbergia oliveri (Fabaceae) genotypes in Vietnam
Authors: D.T. Phong, V.T.T. Hien, T.T.V. Thanh and D.V. Tang
Dalbergia oliveri is a leguminous tree of the Fabaceae family. This species is popular and valuable in Vietnam and is currently listed on the Vietnam Red List and on the IUCN Red List as endangered. Two PCR techniques using RAPD and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to make a comparative analysis of genetic.. Read More»

Backcross assisted by microsatellite markers in common bean
Authors: L.K. Oliveira1,3, L.C. Melo2, C. Brondani3, M.J.D. Peloso2 and R.P.V. Brondani3
The objectives of the present study were to monitor the effect of backcrossing through microsatellite markers and to compare different marker assisted selection strategies. Four populations were developed using donor parents resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus and, for all crosses, only individuals resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus were back.. Read More»

Intraspecific differentiation of Hancornia speciosa revealed by simple sequence repeat and random amplified polymorphic DNA markers
Authors: C.A. Nogueira, N.B. Stafuzza,T.P. Ribeiro, A.D.L. Prado, I.P.P. Meneze, N. Peixoto, P.J. Gon�§alves,L.M. Almeida
Hancornia speciosa, popularly known as mangabeira, is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Cerrado that shows great economic potential, due to its multiple uses. Intraspecific classification of this species is difficult because it shows high morphological diversity. An early study of the species reported that there are six bot.. Read More»

Optimization of DNA extraction from fresh leaf tissues of Melanoxylon brauna (Fabaceae)
Authors: D.B. Borges, M.B. Amorim, A.M. Waldschmidt, E. Mariano-Neto, C.V. Vivas and D.G. Pereira
Melanoxylon brauna (Fabaceae - Caesalpinioideae) is an endemic and valuable hardwood tree species in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest; it is comparable to African ebony wood. We tested three protocols of DNA extraction based on the citrimonium bromide (CTAB) method and evaluated the quantity, purity and integrity of the DNA. .. Read More»

Comparison of a retrotransposon-based marker with microsatellite markers for discriminating accessions of Vitis vinifera
Authors: G.C. Santâ��Ana, J.L. Ferreira, H.S. Rocha, A. Bor�©m, M. Pasqual and G.M.A. Can�§ado
Identification and knowledge concerning genetic diversity are fundamental for efficient management and use of grapevine germplasm. Recently, new types of molecular markers have been developed, such as retrotransposon-based markers. Because of their multilocus pattern, retrotransposon-based markers might be able to differentiat..

Does beekeeping reduce genetic variability in Melipona scutellaris (Apidae, Meliponini)?
Authors: G.A. Carvalho-Zilse, M.F.F. Costa-Pinto, C.G. Nunes-Silva, W.E. Kerr
Many factors have contributed to reductions in wild populations of stingless bees, such as: deforestation, displacement and destruction of nests by honey gatherers, as well as use of insecticides and other agrochemicals. All of these can potentially affect the populational structure of native species. We analyzed genetic varia.. Read More»

Potential of maize single-cross hybrids for extraction of inbred lines using the mean components and mixed models with microsatellite marker information
Authors: M. Balestre, R.G. Von Pinho, J.C. Souza and J.C. Machado
The present study examined the importance of mean (m+a’ and d) components in the performance of single-cross hybrids for the formation of new populations and determined the contribution of the mixed model (best linear unbiased predictor of random effects, BLUP) method associated with molecular markers for the choice of crosses to obtain interpopulat..
