Analysis of genetic diversity and trait correlations among Korean landrace rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: F.P. Li, Y.S. Lee, S.W. Kwon, G. Li and Y.J. Park
This study analyzed 394 Korean rice landrace accessions, including 93 waxy varieties, for polymorphisms using 29 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. In total, 381 alleles served as raw data for estimating the genetic diversity (GD) and population structure. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 44 (average = 13.14.. Read More»

Analysis of the genetic diversity of super sweet corn inbred lines using SSR and SSAP markers
Authors: W.R. Ko1*, K.J. Sa1*, N.S. Roy3, H.-J. Choi2 and J.K. Lee1
In this study, we compared the efficiency of simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence specific amplified polymorphism (SSAP) markers for analyzing genetic diversity, genetic relationships, and population structure of 87 super sweet corn inbred lines from different origins. SSR markers showed higher average gene diversity and Shannon’s information i.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for Lutjanus erythropterus
Authors: L.Lin, C.H. Li, S.N. Xu, Y. Liu and Y.Y. Xiao
We isolated and characterized 22 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the crimson snapper (Lutjanus erythropterus) using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. We found three to 15 alleles per locus, with a mean of 6.68. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.087 to 0.978 and from 0.125 to 0.904, respectively, with averages of 0.576 and 0.650,.. Read More»

Pedigree analyses in the Breeding Program for Nellore Cattle
Authors: Vozzi PA, Marcondes CR, Bezerra LAF and Lobo RB
Parameters based on the probability of gene origin were used to describe genetic variability in three reproductive groups from the Breeding Program for Nellore Cattle (PMGRN). The three reproductive populations (cows in reproductive age, bulls from artificial insemination centers and young bulls in progeny test) generated medi.. Read More»

Genetic characterization and evaluation of anthropogenic impacts on genetic patterns in cultured and wild populations of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from Greece
Authors: I.A. Giantsis N. Kravva A.P. Apostolidis
Despite the great commercial and economic importance of mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis (Bivalvia, Mollusca) in Greece, little information is available concerning their population genetic structure. We used RAPD markers to examine genetic differentiation and potential impact of aquaculture practices and other anthropogenic activities on the genetic str.. Read More»

Population structure and demographic inferences concerning the endangered onychophoran species Epiperipatus acacioi (Onychophora: Peripatidae)
Authors: G.A. Lacorte, I.S. Oliveira and C.G. Fonseca
Epiperipatus acacioi (Onychophora: Peripatidae) is an endemic species of the Atlantic rainforest in southeastern Brazil, with a restricted known distribution, found only in two nearby areas (Tripuí and Itacolomi). Mitochondrial gene COI sequences of 93 specimens collected across the known range of E. acacioi were used t.. Read More»

Genetic variation based on microsatellite analysis of the oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense from Qiandao Lake in China
Authors: K.Y. Ma J.B. Feng J.L. Li
The oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) is an important freshwater prawn species in China. We collected 236 oriental river prawns from four wild stocks from Qiandao Lake, Zhejiang, China, and used nine polymorphic microsatellite markers to investigate their genetic diversity and structure, to facilitate the development of a selective breeding pro..

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure in a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) germplasm collection based on single nucleotide polymorphism markers
Authors: T. Wang, Q.D. Zou, S.Y. Qi, X.F. Wang, Y.Y. Wu, N. Liu, Y.M. Zhang, Z.J. Zhang and H.T. Li
Knowledge of genetic diversity is important to assist breeders in the selection of parental materials and in the design of breeding programs. In this study, we genotyped 348 inbred tomato lines, representing vintage and contemporary fresh-market varieties, by using 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); 45 of these were found to be polymorphic. The av.. Read More»

Genetic diversity, population structure, and association mapping of agronomic traits in waxy and normal maize inbred lines
Authors: K.J. Sa, J.Y. Park, S.H. Choi, B.W. Kim, K.J. Park and J.K. Lee
Understanding genetic diversity, population structure, and linkage disequilibrium is a prerequisite for the association mapping of complex traits in a target population. In this study, the genetic diversity and population structure of 40 waxy and 40 normal inbred maize lines were investigated using 10 morphological traits and 200 simple sequence repeat (S..

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»
