Analysis of Mendelian inheritance and genetic linkage in microsatellite loci of Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake

Authors: S. Pupin, L.N. Rosse, I.C.G. Souza, J. Cambuim, C.L. Marino, M.L.T. Moraes and A.M. Sebbenn

Eucalyptus urophylla is an important species in the Brazilian forest sector due to its rapid growth rates and resistance to disease. The aim of this study was to verify Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium for 15 microsatellite loci, with the goal of producing a robust set of genetic markers. Me..

First record of soybean stem fly Melanagromyza sojae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Paraguay confirmed by molecular evidence

Authors: J.V.C. Guedes, J.A. Arnemann, L.E. Curioletti, L.M. Burtet, M.L. Ram�­rez-Paredes, D. Noschang, F. Irala de Oliveira and W.T. Tay

We provided the first scientific record of Melanagromyza sojae (Zehntner, 1900), through molecular characterization of partial mtDNA COI gene, that confirms the occurrence of this pest in Paraguay. Previously reported in Brazil, an outbreak of larvae of M. sojae known as the soybean stem fly (SSF) that belongs to the family Ag.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Hyptis pectinata (L.) Poit. plants using ISSR markers

Authors: R.B. Feitosa-Alcantara, A.V.C. Silva, A.F. Blank, C.S. Almeida, S.V. Alvares-Carvalho and M.F. Arrigoni-Blank

Hyptis pectinata, popularly known as ‘sambacaitá’ or ‘canudinho’, is a medicinal and aromatic species widely used in the Brazilian Northeast. In Sergipe, the excessive extraction of natural resources may reduce the genetic variability of native plants. Thus, molecular markers have frequently been.. Read More»

Physiological and enzymatic alterations in sesame seeds submitted to different osmotic potentials

Authors: R.M.O. Pires, M.A.B. Ã?Â?vila, D.G. Leite, H.O. Santos, G.A. Souza and E.V.R. Von Pinho

With the imminence of global climate changes that affect the temperature and the rainfall uniformity, it is growing the concern about the adaptation of crops to the water deficit. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate alterations in physiological and enzymatic mechanisms during the germination process of sesame see.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis in Malaysian giant prawns using expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for stock improvement program

Authors: K.H. Atin, A. Christianus, N. Fatin, A.C. Lutas, M. Shabanimofrad and B. Subha

The Malaysian giant prawn is among the most commonly cultured species of the genus Macrobrachium. Stocks of giant prawns from four rivers in Peninsular Malaysia have been used for aquaculture over the past 25 years, which has led to repeated harvesting, restocking, and transplantation between rivers. Consequently, a stock impr.. Read More»

Genetic dissimilarity of common bean lines for agronomic and biofortification traits

Authors: S.M. Maziero, N.D. Ribeiro and C.R. Casagrande

The evaluation of the genetic dissimilarity of common bean lines obtained by the breeding program is significant to identify duplicate accessions, to select superior lines, and to plan new hybrid combinations. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the genetic dissimilarity of common bean genotypes for agronomic and min.. Read More»

Comparison of eight methods to isolate genomic DNA from Hancornia speciosa

Authors: V.M. Almeida, G.A. Luz, P.P. Martins, M.F.C. Gomes, M.F. Costa, P.S.C. Lima and S.E.S. Valente

Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa) is a native fruit tree found mainly in the Cerrado biome and shows great economic potential due to its multiple uses; the fruits are used in agriculture, are important as a food resource, and can be consumed in natura or processed. Due to a reduction in the area of ecosystems where it occurs, ma.. Read More»

Association of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 rs1024611 and telomerase rs2736100 polymorphisms with susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis in Han Chinese population

Authors: G.H. Cheng, X.L. Wang, X.T. Yuan, Q. Xin, Q. Sun, K.L. Li, C. Sun, Z.M. Lin, Y. Luan, Y.S. Wang, F. Kong and D.W. Xu

Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and accumulated evidence reveals the genetic context of its infection phenotypes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) rs1024611 variant is shown to be associated with PTB susceptibility in some studies, but significant disparities exist. In a.. Read More»

QTLs of morpho-agronomic traits in the Jalo x Small White common bean population

Authors: D.A. Souza, M. Balestre, A.K.A. Pamplona, L.R. Pinheiro, F.C. Alves, D.R. Pereira and J.B. Santos

In this study, we aimed to estimate the relationship between some common bean traits using molecular markers and applying QTL mapping. We used a segregating population derived from a crossing between common bean cultivars, Jalo and Small White, in the Southern State of Minas Gerais. Of F2 plants, 190 F2:3 progenies were genera..
