Inference of genetic diversity in popcorn S3 progenies

Authors: G.F. Pena, A.T. do Amaral Jr, R.M. Ribeiro, H.C.C. Ramos,M.S.B. Boechat, J.S. Santos, G.S. Mafra, S.H. Kamphorst, V.J. de Lima, M. Vivas and G.A. de Souza Filho

Molecular markers are a useful tool for identification of complementary heterotic groups in breeding programs aimed at the production of superior hybrids, particularly for crops such as popcorn in which heterotic groups are not well-defined. The objective of the present study was to analyze the genetic diversity of 47 genotype.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers in Paulownia kawakamii (Scrophulariaceae) and cross-amplification in other Paulownia species

Authors: H.W. Wang, J.M. Duan, P. Zhang, Y.Q. Cheng, J.W. Wu and G.Z. Wang

Paulownia kawakamii is a fast-growing timber tree. In this study, 21 primer sets were developed using an enriched genomic library. The genetic diversity was measured in one P. kawakamii population. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 19. The observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.158 to 0.842 (mean = 0.421) and from 0.376 to 0.9.. Read More»

Genomic DNA isolation of Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae) from leaf and stipe tissue samples for PCR analysis

Authors: E.C.M. Lanes, C. Nick, K.N. Kuki, R.D. Freitas and S.Y. Motoike

Macaw palm, Acrocomia aculeata is an oleaginous species of the Arecaceae family; it has been identified as one of the most promising plants for sustainable production of renewable energy, especially biodiesel. We developed an efficient protocol of genomic DNA extraction for A. aculeata using leaf and stipe tissues, based on the cationic hexadecyltrimethyl.. Read More»

Development of highly polymorphic EST-SSR markers and segregation in F1 hybrid population of Vitis vinifera L.

Authors: E. Kayesh, Y.Y. Zhang, G.S. Liu, N. Bilkish, X. Sun, X.P. Leng and J.G. Fang

The objectives of this investigation were to develop and validate the expressed sequence tag (EST)-simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from large EST sequences, and to study the segregation and distribution of SSRs within two grapevine parental lines. In total, 94 F1 lines crossed between “Early Rose” and “Red Globe” were studied... Read More»

Population structure of the blood clam (Tegillarca granosa) in China based on microsatellite markers

Authors: Y.J. Wang, Q.G. Zeng and L.N. Xu

The blood clam, Tegillarca granosa, is widely cultivated in China. We isolated 6 microsatellite loci from T. granosa and used them to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of 5 widely distributed populations of blood clam collected from eastern and southeastern China. The allele number per locus varied from 4 to 9, and the polymorphism in.. Read More»

Biogeographic pattern of genetic diversity detected by RAPD and ISSR analysis in Gypsophila (Caryophyllaceae) species from Turkey

Authors: M. Korkmaz and N.Y. Dogan

Gypsophila L. is the 3rd-largest genus of Caryophyllaceae in Turkey, a country that includes 60 taxa belonging to 56 species of the 126 recognized in the genus. A total of 35 taxa are endemic to Turkey, with an approximately 60% endemism ratio. In this study, the genetic diversity of 14 Gypsophila species from Turkey was analyzed using random amplificatio..

Assessment of genetic diversity of Tunisian orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck using microsatellite (SSR) markers

Authors: A. Mahjbi, A. Oueslati, G. Baraket, A. Salhi-Hannachi and S. Zehdi Azouzi

Citrus are one of the most cultivated crops in the world. Economically, they are very important fruit trees in Tunisia. Little is known about the genetic diversity of the Tunisian Citrus germplasm. Exploring this diversity is a prerequisite for the identification and characterization of the local germplasm to circumvent and co.. Read More»

Phenotypic and genotypic variation among Capsicum annuum recombinant inbred lines resistant to bacterial spot

Authors: S.O. Moreira, R. Rodrigues, H.S. Oliveira, A.M. Medeiros, C.P. Sudr�© and L.S.A. Gon�§alves

A breeding program carried out under Brazilian growing conditions to obtain Capsicum annuum cultivars with disease resistance to bacterial spot (BS) produced 8 promising recombinant inbred lines (RILs). The present study aimed to characterize these RILs using phenotypic descriptors and molecular markers (inter-simple sequence repeat) and to confirm their .. Read More»

SSR-based association mapping of salt tolerance in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Authors: Y.L. Zhao, H.M. Wang, B.X. Shao, W. Chen, Z.J. Guo, H.Y. Gong,X.H. Sang, J.J. Wang and W.W. Ye

The identification of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers associated with salt tolerance in cotton contributes to molecular assisted selection (MAS), which can improve the efficiency of traditional breeding. In this study, 134 samples of upland cotton cultivars were selected. The seedling emergence rates were tested under 0.3.. Read More»

Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for the allotetraploid Gossypium tomentosum

Authors: F. Liu, Y.H. Wang, H.Y. Gao, C.Y. Wang, Z.L. Zhou, X.Y. Cai, X.X. Wang, Z.S. Zhang and K.B. Wang

Gossypium tomentosum is a wild allotetraploid species with the (AD)5 genome. It is characterized by many useful traits including finer fiber fineness, drought tolerance, and Fusarium and Verticillium resistance. We constructed the first bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium tomentosum. With high quality and broad coverage, this library inc.. Read More»
