Genetic relationships in a germplasm collection of Camellia japonica and Camellia oleifera using SSR analysis

Authors: Y. Zhao, C.J. Ruan, G.J. Ding and S. Mopper

Camellia japonica produces different color and bigger flowers, widely being used for gardening green in southern China. However, cultivars were introduced from different regions, but their origin and pedigree information is either not available poorly documented, causing problems in authentication. Many low-yield trees in Came.. Read More»

Authors: B.M. Silva, A.A.B. Rossi, A.V. Tiago, K.F.M. Schmitt, J.F.E. Dardengo and S.A.M. Souza

Cajazeira (Spondias mombin L.), of the family Anacardiaceae, is a species of fruit tree found in the Amazon region with fruits that have excellent prospects for commercial use. We aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity within and among natural populations of S. mombin, with natural occurrence in northern Mato Grosso State, by.. Read More»

Genetic analysis and identification of SSR markers associated with rice blast disease in a BC2F1 backcross population

Authors: N. Hasan, M.Y. Rafii, H. Abdul Rahim, S.A. Nusaibah, N. Mazlan and S. Abdullah

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) blast disease is one of the most destructive rice diseases in the world. The fungal pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, is the causal agent of rice blast disease. Development of resistant cultivars is the most preferred method to achieve sustainable rice production. However, the effectiveness of resistant cult.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis using novel microsatellite markers with cross-species transferability

Authors: D.J. Lei, G. Zhao, P. Xie, Y. Li, H. Yuan, M. Zou, J.G. Niu and X.F. Ma

We used next-generation sequencing technology to characterize 19 genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 11 expressed sequence tag (EST) SSR markers from Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis, a small freshwater fish that is widely distributed in Xinjiang, China. Primers were used to test for polymorphisms in three L. leuci.. Read More»

Novel and highly informative Capsicum SSR markers and their cross-species transferability

Authors: G.S.C. Buso, A.M.M. Reis, Z.P.S. Amaral and M.E. Ferreira

This study was undertaken primarily to develop new simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for Capsicum. As part of this project aimed at broadening the use of molecular tools in Capsicum breeding, two genomic libraries enriched for AG/TC repeat sequences were constructed for Capsicum annuum. A total of 475 DNA clones were sequenced from both libraries and 1.. Read More»

Genetic dissimilarity of putative gamma-ray-induced �Preciosa - AAAB-Pome type� banana (Musa sp) mutants based on multivariate statistical analysis

Authors: R.K.N. Pestana, E.P. Amorim, C.F. Ferreira, V.B.O. Amorim, L.S. Oliveira, C.A.S. Ledo and S.O. Silva

Bananas are among the most important fruit crops worldwide, being cultivated in more than 120 countries, mainly by small-scale producers. However, short-stature high-yielding bananas presenting good agronomic characteristics are hard to find. Consequently, wind continues to damage a great number of plantations each year, leadi..

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) from China and Malaysia based on species-specific simple sequence repeat markers

Authors: L.X. Zhou, Y. Xiao, W. Xia and Y.D. Yang

Genetic diversity and patterns of population structure of the 94 oil palm lines were investigated using species-specific simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. We designed primers for 63 SSR loci based on their flanking sequences and conducted amplification in 94 oil palm DNA samples. The amplification result showed that a rela.. Read More»

Taxonomic status of Pinus henryi using multiplexed microsatellite markers

Authors: Q. Xie, Z.-H. Liu and Z.-Q. Li

The taxonomic status of Pinus henryi, a rare species endemic to China, is still ambiguous. In this study, the genetic relationships among P. henryi and its congeners (P. tabulaeformis, P. tabulaeformis var. mukdensis, and P. massoniana) were revealed using multiplexed microsatellite markers, including chloroplast microsatellites, nuclear microsatellites, ..

Bulked segregant analysis for relative water content to detect quantitative trait loci in wheat under drought stress

Authors: M.R. Naroui Rad M. Abdul Kadir M.Y. Rafii H.Z.E. Jaafar M.R. Naghavi

This study was carried out to evaluate the genetic effect of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring drought tolerance in wheat. A population of 120 F2 individuals from the cross between the drought-tolerant S-78-11 and drought-sensitive Tajan cultivars were analyzed for their segregation under drought stress conditions. The relative water content under dr.. Read More»

Genetic variation in and spatial structure of natural populations of Dipterocarpus alatus (Dipterocarpaceae) determined using single sequence repeat markers

Authors: N.M. Tam, V.D. Duy, N.M. Duc, V.D. Giap and B.T.T. Xuan

Dipterocarpus alatus (Dipterocarpaceae) is widely distributed in lowland forests in central and southern Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and India. Due to over-exploitation and habitat destruction, the species is now threatened. The genetic variation within and among populations of D. alat.. Read More»
