Development and cross-species transferability of unigene-derived microsatellite markers in an edible oil woody plant, Camellia oleifera (Theaceae)

B. G. Jia, Lin, Q., Feng, Y. Z., Hu, X. Y., Tan, X. F., Shao, F. G., and Zhang, L., Development and cross-species transferability of unigene-derived microsatellite markers in an edible oil woody plant, Camellia oleifera (Theaceae), vol. 14, pp. 6906-6916, 2015.

Camellia oleifera is an important edible oil woody plant in China. Lack of useful molecular markers hinders current genetic research on this tree species. Transcriptome sequencing of developing C. oleifera seeds generated 69,798 unigenes. A total of 6949 putative microsatellites were discovered among 6042 SSR-containing unigenes. Then, 150 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were evaluated in 20 varieties of C. oleifera.

Development and characterization of SSR markers from Pinus massoniana and their transferability to P. elliottii, P. caribaea and P. yunnanensis

Y. H. Feng, Yang, Z. Q., Wang, J., Luo, Q. F., and Li, H. G., Development and characterization of SSR markers from Pinus massoniana and their transferability to P. elliottii, P. caribaea and P. yunnanensis, vol. 13, pp. 1508-1513, 2014.

Pinus massoniana (Masson’s pine) is a widespread tree species in central and southern China and northern Vietnam; it is valued for rosin and paper production. Despite the significant economic value of Masson's pine, little work has been done on its molecular genetics. We developed 318 SSR primers from genome sequences of P. massoniana, and we identified 10 polymorphic markers. The number of alleles in the population of P. massoniana that we examined ranged from two to four, and the Shannon diversity index ranged from 0.150 to 1.133.

Cross-species transferability of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) nuclear microsatellite markers to five Mexican white pines

A. R. Villalobos-Arámbula, de la Rosa, J. A. Pérez, Arias, A., and Rajora, O. P., Cross-species transferability of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) nuclear microsatellite markers to five Mexican white pines, vol. 13. pp. 7571-7576, 2014.

We examined cross-species transferability and usefulness of six nuclear microsatellite markers developed in consubgeneric eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) with regard to ecologically and commercially important Mexican white pine species of conservation genetics concern: Pinus chiapensis (Mart.) Andresen, P. flexilis James, P. strobiformis Engelm., P. ayacahuite Ehrenb. Ex Schltdl, and P. ayacahuite var. veitchii (Roezl) G.R. Shaw.

Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and milk production traits in buffalo

G. C. Venturini, Cardoso, D. F., Baldi, F., Freitas, A. C., Aspilcueta-Borquis, R. R., Santos, D. J. A., Camargo, G. M. F., Stafuzza, N. B., Albuquerque, L. G., and Tonhati, H., Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and milk production traits in buffalo, vol. 13, pp. 10256-10268, 2014.

The aim of this study was to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in buffaloes associated with milk yield and content, in addition to somatic cell scores based on the cross-species transferability of SNPs from cattle to buffalo. A total of 15,745 SNPs were analyzed, of which 1562 showed 1% significance and 4742 with 5% significance, which were associated for all traits studied.
