Development of 21 novel polynucleotide microsatellite markers in a Clithon retropictum (Gastropoda: Neritidae), using next-generation sequencing

Authors: Young Se Hyun, Ha Yeun Song, Min-Seop Kim, Hye Suck An

The neritid species Clithon retropictum (Gastropoda), an oviparous snail, is distributed in freshwater and brackish water in southern Korea, south-east Japan, southern China and Taiwan. This species is listed as a class II endangered species in Korea because of its decreasing population size. It has led to an increase in the n.. Read More»

Minimum number of measurements for evaluating Bertholletia excelsa

Authors: A.B. Baldoni, H. Tonini, F.D. Tardin, S.C.C. Botelho and P.E. Teodoro

Repeatability studies on fruit species are of great importance to identify the minimum number of measurements necessary to accurately select superior genotypes. This study aimed to identify the most efficient method to estimate the repeatability coefficient (r) and predict the minimum number of measurements needed for a more a.. Read More»

Molecular identification of variety purity in a cotton hybrid with unknown parentage using DNA-SSR markers

Authors: X.Q. Fu, F.X. Yang, X.K. Lu, X.G. Wang, B.X. Yang, F.J. Liu, Y. Liu and J. Peng

Molecular identification of hybrid purity is difficult in regional trials of cotton varieties and hybrid trials. In particular, the molecular detection of hybrid purity has not yet been reported in the case of unknown parentage. In this study, we screened 5000 pairs of primers and chose 17 pairs of core simple sequence repeat .. Read More»
