High genetic variation among Aschersonia placenta (Clavicipitaceae) isolates from citrus orchards in China
Authors: P.P. Wang1,2, X.H. Song1,3 and H.Y. Zhang
Aschersonia placenta had been recognized as an important fungal pathogen of whiteflies. In recent years, natural occurrence of Aschersonia in whitefly populations was observed in many citrus orchards in the southern regions of China. We analyzed 60 A. placenta isolates obtained from Chinese citrus orchards, using inter-simple sequence repeats to examine t.. Read More»

Development of EST-SSR markers related to salt tolerance and their application in genetic diversity and evolution analysis in Gossypium
Authors: B.H. Wang, P. Zhu, Y.L. Yuan, C.B. Wang, C.M. Yu, H.H. Zhang, X.Y. Zhu, W. Wang, C.B. Yao, Z.M. Zhuang and P. Li
Salt stress is becoming one of the major problems in global agriculture with the onset of global warming, an increasing scarcity of fresh water, and improper land irrigation and fertilization practices, which leads to reduction of crop output and even causes crop death. To speed up the exploitation of saline land, it is a good.. Read More»

Characterization of Anatolian traditional quince cultivars, based on microsatellite markers
Authors: C. Y�¼ksel, F. Mutaf, �°. Demirta��, G. ��zt�¼rk, M. Pekta��, A. Erg�¼l
We conducted simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses of 15 traditional quince (Cydonia oblonga) cultivars from Anatolian gene sources for molecular characterization and investigation of genetic relationships. Three pear and two apple cultivars were used as references for SSR locus data analysis and to determine allele profiles b.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in natural populations of Theobroma subincanum Mart. in the Brazilian Amazon
Authors: L.H. Rivas1, L.D. Giustina1, L.N. Luz2, I.V. Karsburg1, T.N.S. Pereira2 and A.A.B. Rossi1
The genus Theobroma, recently reclassified in the family Malvaceae, comprises some species with high economic potential, including the cupuí, Theobroma subincanum Mart., which has not yet been domesticated, and whose genetics and population structure are mostly unknown. This study aimed to assess the population structure and genetic diversity in na.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellites for the yam Dioscorea cayenensis (Dioscoreaceae) and cross-amplification in D. rotundata
Authors: L.R.G. Silva, M.M. Bajay, M. Monteiro, T.F. Mezette, W.F. Nascimento, M.I. Zucchi, J.B. Pinheiro and E.A. Veasey
Dioscorea cayenensis and Dioscorea rotundata are among the most important yam species for the humid and sub-humid tropics. We isolated nine polymorphic microsatellite markers using a microsatellite-enriched genomic library technique. The nine primer pairs were validated in 22 D. cayenensis accessions, and were tested for trans.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of spineless Cereus jamacaru accessions using morphological and molecular markers
Authors: F.I.C. Oliveira, P.N. Bordallo, A.C.R. Castro and D. Correia
This is the first study to examine the genetic diversity of mandacaru cactus (Cereus jamacaru P. DC.). Plants of spineless mandacaru are commonly found in gardens and parks of urban areas in northeastern Brazil. In addition to exploring their ornamental potential, morphological, and genetic characterization may contribute to the development of plant mater.. Read More»

Development and characterization of new microsatellites for walnut (Juglans regia)
Authors: Z.Y. Zhang, J.W. Han, Q. Jin, Y. Wang, X.M. Pang and Y.Y. Li
The expressed sequence tag (EST) database represents a potentially valuable resource for the development of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for use in evolutionary studies. EST-SSRs reveal polymorphisms not only within the source taxon, but in related taxa as well. In this paper, we describe a case study in which the publicly available walnut (Juglan.. Read More»
