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..

Genetic variability in banana diploids and nonparametric statistics of fragments associated with natural fruit finger drop

Authors: M.A. Rodrigues, E.P. Amorim, C.F. Ferreira, C.A.S. Ledo and J.R.F. Santana

Natural fruit finger drop in bananas is one of the major concerns of producers as well as consumers. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity among 15 diploid bananas with different levels of resistance to finger drop (RFD) using SSR and ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeat) markers, and assess the possibility..

Variability among Capsicum baccatum accessions from Goi�¡s, Brazil, assessed by morphological traits and molecular markers

Authors: A.L.A. Martinez, J.S.P. Ara�ºjo, C.F. Ragassi, G.S.C. Buso and F.J.B. Reifschneider

Capsicum peppers are native to the Americas, with Brazil being a significant diversity center. Capsicum baccatum accessions at Instituto Federal (IF) Goiano represent a portion of the species genetic resources from central Brazil. We aimed to characterize a C. baccatum working collection comprising 27 accessions and 3 commerci.. Read More»

Transferability of microsatellite markers in Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Becc. (Arecaceae), an iconic palm tree from the Brazilian semiarid region

Authors: R.R. Simplicio, D.G. Pereira and A.M. Waldschmidt

The licuri palm Syagrus coronata plays a key role in the ecology and economy of Brazilian semiarid region. Nonetheless, genetic data about populations of this species are absent even though the intensive and uncontrolled exploitation since colonial periods has threatened the sustainability and viability of licuri populations. ..

Cross-amplification and characterization of microsatellite markers in Alcantarea patriae Versieux & Wand.

Authors: A.G. Pereira, U.C.S. Bernardi, V.C. Manh�£es, R.S. Ferreira and F.D. Miranda

The Alcantarea patriae is a Bromeliaceae endemic to the inselbergs of the Atlantic Forest. This taxon, described in the year of 2007 by Versieux & Wanderley, presents restricted and fragmented distribution outside conservation units. Studies to evaluate the genetic structure of its populations can contribute to the conserv.. Read More»

Genetic relationship among Labisia pumila (Myrsinaceae) species based on ISSR-PCR

Authors: E. Karimi, H.Z.E. Jaafar, M.A. Aziz, S. Taheri and R. AzadiGonbad

The genus Labisia (Myrsinaceae) is a popular medicinal plant in Malaysia. We examined the genetic relationship among three varieties of L. pumila var. pumila, L. pumila var. alata, L. pumila var. lanceolata and Labisia paucifolia using an ISSR assay. Fifty-eight primers were tested, among which 18 gave reliable polymorphic ban.. Read More»

Rapid identification of red-flesh loquat cultivars using EST-SSR markers based on manual cultivar identification diagram strategy

Authors: X.Y. Li, H.X. Xu and J.W. Chen

Manual cultivar identification diagram is a new strategy for plant cultivar identification based on DNA markers, providing information to efficiently separate cultivars. We tested 25 pairs of apple EST-SSR primers for amplification of PCR products from loquat cultivars. These EST-SSR primers provided clear amplification produc.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Bertholletia excelsa (Lecythidaceae) population genetic analysis

Authors: P.S. Sujii1, P.W. Inglis2, A.Y. Ciampi2, V.N. Solferini1 and V.C.R. Azevedo2

Seven polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and validated for Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil nut tree) population genetic studies. This species is a widespread monotypic Amazonian tree with high non-timber economic value. Unfortunately, Brazil nut production is currently less than 25% of historical production levels, because of extensive defores.. Read More»

Chrysanthemums are well known for their esthetic and medicinal values. Characterization of chrysanthemums is vital for their conservation and management as well as for understanding their genetic relationships. We found 12 simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs) of 100 designed primers to be polymorphic. These novel SSR markers were used to evaluate 95 acce.. Read More»
