Genetic diversity analysis of Croton antisyphiliticus Mart. using AFLP molecular markers

T. G. Oliveira, Pereira, A. M. S., Coppede, J. S., França, S. C., Ming, L. C., Bertoni, B. W., Oliveira, T. G., Pereira, A. M. S., Coppede, J. S., França, S. C., Ming, L. C., and Bertoni, B. W., “Genetic diversity analysis of Croton antisyphiliticus Mart. using AFLP molecular markers”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Croton antisyphiliticus Mart. is a medicinal plant native to Cerrado vegetation in Brazil, and it is popularly used to treat urogenital tract infections. The objective of the present study was to assess the genetic variability of natural C. antisyphiliticus populations using AFLP molecular markers. Accessions were collected in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Goiás. The genotyping of individuals was performed using a LI-COR® DNA Analyzer 4300. The variability within populations was found to be greater than the variability between them.

Natural hybridization between Gossypium mustelinum and exotic allotetraploid cotton species

I. P. P. de Menezes, da Silva, J. O., Malafaia, G., Silveira, R. D. D., and Barroso, P. A. V., “Natural hybridization between Gossypium mustelinum and exotic allotetraploid cotton species”, vol. 14. pp. 14177-14180, 2015.

Cotton has been collected in Brazil for decades for its conservation, evaluation, and the use of its genetic resources. Gossypium mustelinum is an allotetraploid cotton species that only occurs in Brazil, and little is known about its genetic potential for improvement. However, the species is threatened by habitat fragmentation and interspecific hybridization with exotic species of cotton. In this study, we investigated the rate of natural hybridization in two populations of G. mustelinum in Bahia, Brazil, with G. hirsutum and G.

Identification and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the red-crowned crane

L. Zhang, Zhang, Z. H., Shen, F. J., Hou, R., Zhang, W. P., Liu, Y. L., Tu, K. Y., and Yang, A. L., “Identification and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the red-crowned crane”, vol. 14, pp. 15169-15176, 2015.

We isolated and characterized microsatellite loci for the red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) from a microsatellite-enriched database, which was obtained using high-throughput sequencing technology. We designed primer sets for 445 microsatellite loci and after initial screening, 34 loci were genotyped in 31 red-crowned cranes. The number of observed alleles ranged from 3 to 10. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.197 to 0.935 and 0.453 to 0.887, respectively; the mean polymorphic information content was 0.663.

Efficient development of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Pteroceltis tatarinowii (Ulmaceae)

X. H. Li, Zhang, X. P., Liu, K., Liu, H. J., and Shao, J. W., “Efficient development of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Pteroceltis tatarinowii (Ulmaceae)”, vol. 14, pp. 16444-16449, 2015.

Pteroceltis tatarinowii (Ulmaceae) is a scientifically and economically important temperate deciduous tree that is endemic to China. In the present study, 12 P. tatarinowii polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed using the tailed primer-M13-simple sequence repeats (TP-M13-SSR) biotin-capture method. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 10, with an average of 6.58. The observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.208 to 0.958 and from 0.198 to 0.858, with average values of 0.703 and 0.710, respectively.
