Microsatellite markers for genetic studies of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda

Authors: V.A.C. Pavinato S. Martinelli P.F. de Lima M.I. Zucchi C. Omoto

We developed six microsatellite markers for the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The SSR loci were isolated with enriched genomic library protocol by using native individuals as a genome source for markers. These loci were characterized in 48 individuals and they were tested for the ability to identify candidate migrants excha.. Read More»

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»

Distribution of mating-type alleles and M13 PCR markers in the black leaf spot fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis of bananas in Brazil

Authors: C.B. Queiroz E.C. Miranda R.E. Hanada N.R. Sousa L. Gasparotto M.A. Soares G.F. Silva

The fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis is the causative agent of black sigatoka, which is one of the most destructive diseases of banana plants. Infection with this pathogen results in underdeveloped fruit, with no commercial value. We analyzed the distribution of the M. fijiensis mating-type system and its genetic variability using M13 phage DNA markers. We fo.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Cajazeira (Spondias mombin L.) in three geographic regions

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»

Diversity, population structure, and evolution of local peach cultivars in China identified by simple sequence repeats

Authors: Z.J. Shen, R.J. Ma, Z.X. Cai, M.L. Yu and Z. Zhang

The fruit peach originated in China and has a history of domestication of more than 4000 years. Numerous local cultivars were selected during the long course of cultivation, and a great morphological diversity exists. To study the diversity and genetic background of local peach cultivars in China, a set of 158 accessions from different ecological regions,.. 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»

Population structure of rice varieties used in Turkish rice breeding programs determined using simple-sequence repeat and inter-primer binding site-retrotransposon data

Authors: G. C�¶mertpay1, F.S. Baloch2, M. Derya3, E.E. Andeden3, A. Alsaleh3, H. S�¼rek4 and H. ��zkan5

Abstract Effective breeding programs based on genetic diversity are needed to broaden the genetic basis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Turkey. In this study, 81 commercial varieties from seven countries were studied in order to estimate the genomic relationships among them using nine inter-primer binding site (iPBS)-retrotransposon and 17 simple-sequence r..

atchouli [Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth.] is an aromatic, herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves produce an essential oil regularly used by the perfume and cosmetics industries. However, since patchouli from the Philippines and India were described and named Pogostemon patchouli, there has been a diverge.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers linked to the locus of the watermelon fruit stripe pattern

Authors: R.N.C.S. Gama, C.A.F. Santos, R.C.S. Dias, J.C.S.F. Alves and T.O. Nogueira

Agronomic performance and external and internal appearance of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) fruit are important traits that should be taken into consideration during the development of a new cultivar, as well as being the principal identification elements used by the consumer, which are based on the external appearance and quality of the fruit. Externally, .. Read More»
