Functional molecular markers (EST-SSR) in the full-sib reciprocal recurrent selection program of maize (Zea mays L.)

Authors: K.S.C. Galv�£o, H.C.C. Ramos, P.H.A.D. Santos, G.C. Entringer, J.C.F. Vettorazzi and M.G. Pereira

This study aimed to improve grain yield in the full-sib reciprocal recurrent selection program of maize from the North Fluminense State University. In the current phase of the program, the goal is to maintain, or even increase, the genetic variability within and among populations, in order to increase heterosis of the 13th cycle of reciprocal recurrent se..

Development of microsatellite markers for Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae)

Authors: A.J.L. Rodrigues, A.T. Yamaguishi, L.J. Chaves, A.S.G. Coelho, J.S. Lima and M.P.C. Telles

Herein, we describe 34 microsatellite loci developed using an enrichment genomic library for the tree species Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae). Thirty-five individuals were genotyped using 34 primers to analyze the polymorphisms at each locus. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 20. The average number of alleles was 8.11, and the expect.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in intraspecific hybrid populations of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver evaluated from ISSR and SRAP molecular marker analysis

Authors: J. Yu, Y. Wang, M. Ru, L. Peng and Z.S. Liang

Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, the only extant species of Eucommiaceae, is a second-category state-protected endangered plant in China. Evaluation of genetic diversity among some intraspecific hybrid populations of E. ulmoides Oliver is vital for breeding programs and further conservation of this rare species. We studied the genetic diversity of 130 accessions.. 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 divergence through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters in accessions of Jatropha curcas

Authors: C.N. Pestana-Caldas, S.A. Silva, E.L. Machado, D.R. de Souza,E.C. Cerqueira-Pereira and M.S. Silva

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic divergence between accessions of Jatropha curcas through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters. To this end, we investigated 11 morphoagronomic characters and performed molecular genotyping, using 23 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers in 46 acce.. Read More»

Comparison of simple sequence repeats in 19 Archaea

Authors: S. Trivedi

All organisms that have been studied until now have been found to have differential distribution of simple sequence repeats (SSRs), with more SSRs in intergenic than in coding sequences. SSR distribution was investigated in Archaea genomes where complete chromosome sequences of 19 Archaea were analyzed with the program SPUTNIK.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the endemic flat-needle pine Pinus krempfii (Pinaceae) from Vietnam revealed by SSR markers

Authors: D.T. Phong, T.T. Lieu, V.T.T. Hien and N.T. Hiep

Pinus krempfii Lecomte (Pinaceae) is an endemic tree to Vietnam with restricted habitats at higher altitudes in the highlands. In this study, genetic variation of four populations of P. krempfii was assessed using 17 microsatellite markers (single sequence repeats). Of these 17 markers, eight were polymorphic, and among the 42 putative alleles amplified, .. Read More»
