Authors: J.M. Yang, G.H. Sun, X.D. Zheng, L.H. Ren, W.J. Wang, G.R. Li, B.C. Sun
Octopus minor (Sasaki, 1920) is an economically important cephalopod that is found in the northern coastal waters of China. In this study, we investigated genetic differentiation in fishery populations using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs). A total of 150 individuals were collected from five locations: Dalian (.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population genetic structure of the miiuy croaker, Miichthys miiuy, in the East China Sea by microsatellite markers
Authors: Y. Qin, D.Q. Sun, T.J. Xu, X.Z. Liu and Y.N. Sun
Genetic diversity and patterns of population structure of the miiuy croaker were investigated using SSR markers. A set of 10 microsatellite loci revealed 40 alleles; the number of alleles varied from 2 to 10 for each marker. A relatively high level of genetic variability was observed between miiuy croaker individuals. Genetic diversity was relatively high.. Read More»

RAPD analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of Elymus sibiricus (Poaceae) native to the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
Authors: X. Ma S.-Y. Chen S.-Q. Bai X.-Q. Zhang D.-X. Li C.-B. Zhang J.-J. Yan
Genetic diversity of Elymus sibiricus (Poaceae) was examined in eight populations from the southeast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We detected 291 RAPD polymorphic loci in 93 samples. The percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) was 79%. Genetic diversity (HE) was 0.264, effective number of alleles (NE) was 1.444, Shannon’s information index (HO) was 0.398, a.. Read More»

Contribution of microsatellites markers in the clarification of the origin, genetic risk factors, and implications for conservation of Tunisian native sheep breeds
Authors: Y. Ben Sassi-Zaidy F. Maretto F. Charfi-Cheikhrouha A. Mohamed-Brahmi M. Cassandro
The genetic diversity and genetic relationship of the two main groups of African sheep, thin-tailed and fat-tailed sheep, represented by the indigenous Tunisian sheep breeds “Barbarine” (BAR, fat-tailed) and “Queue Fine de l’Ouest” (QFO, thin-tailed) were investigated. The genotypes of 110 animals belonging to these two breed.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci for Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius)
Authors: L. Lin, L. Zhu, S.-F. Liu, Q.-S. Tang, Y.-Q. Su and Z.-M. Zhuang
We isolated and characterized 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci in Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius) using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. Forty individuals were collected from Qingdao, China. We found 3 to 24 alleles per locus, with a mean of 8.8. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0... Read More»

Diversity, population structure, and evolution of local peach cultivars in China identified by simple sequence repeats
Authors: Z.J. Shen, R.J. Ma, Z.X. Cai, M.L. Yu and Z. Zhang
The fruit peach originated in China and has a history of domestication of more than 4000 years. Numerous local cultivars were selected during the long course of cultivation, and a great morphological diversity exists. To study the diversity and genetic background of local peach cultivars in China, a set of 158 accessions from different ecological regions,.. Read More»

Chloroplast analysis of Zelkova schneideriana (Ulmaceae): genetic diversity, population structure, and conservation implications
Authors: H.L. Liu1,2, R.Q. Zhang2, M.L. Geng3, J.Y. Zhu1, J.C. An1 and J.L. Ma1
elkova schneideriana is endemic to China and belongs to the Ulmaceae. It is listed as a Near Threatened species in the China Biodiversity Red Data Book. We conducted a phylogeographical study of two chloroplast regions (psbA-trnH and trnG-trnM) in several Chinese Z. schneideriana populations, in order to examine the genetic diversity, population structure..

Population genetic characterization of the Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), using novel microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA gene sequences
Authors: S.R. Kim, K.Y. Kim, J.S. Jeong, M.J. Kim, K.-H. Kim, K.H. Choi and I. Kim
The Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai Guérin-Méneville, 1861 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), is an important natural resource of industrial value for silk fiber production. Owing to a lack of geographic and population genetic information, systematic domestication of An. yamamai has not been possible yet. In th.. Read More»

Genetic bottlenecks in Turkish okra germplasm and utility of iPBS retrotransposon markers for genetic diversity assessment
Authors: M. Y�±ld�±z, M. Ko�§ak and F.S. Baloch
Lack of requisite genetic variation in Turkish okra has necessitated the use of different types of markers for estimating the genetic diversity and identifying the source of variation. Transposable elements, present abundantly in plant genomes, generate genomic diversity through their replication and are thus an excellent source of molecular markers. We h.. Read More»
