Y. - E. Yun, Yu, J. - N., Nam, G. H., Ryu, S. - A., Kim, S., Oh, K., and Lim, C. E., Next-generation sequencing identification and characterization of microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense Koidz., an endemic and endangered medicinal plant of Korea, vol. 14, pp. 4812-4817, 2015.

We used next-generation sequencing to develop 9 novel microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense, an endemic and endangered medicinal plant in Korea. Owing to its very limited distribution, over-harvesting for traditional medicinal purposes, and habitat loss, the natural populations are dramatically declining in Korea. All novel microsatellite markers were successfully genotyped using 64 samples from two populations (Mt. Choejeong, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Ungseokbong, Gyeongsangnam-do) of Gyeongsang Province.

Development of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes)

S. Q. Yan, Bai, C. Y., Qi, S. M., Li, Y. M., Li, W. J., and Sun, J. H., Development of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes), vol. 14, pp. 5890-5895, 2015.

The silver fox (Vulpes vulpes), a coat color variant of the red fox, is one of the most important fur-bearing animals. To date, development of microsatellite loci for the silver fox has been limited and mainly based on cross-amplification by using canine SSR primers. In this study, 28 polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and identified for silver fox through the construction and screening of an (AC)n-enriched library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 8 based on 48 individuals tested.

Genetic relatedness between Ardi, Black Bedouin and Damascus goat breeds

R. M. Al-Atiyat and Aljumaah, R. S., Genetic relatedness between Ardi, Black Bedouin and Damascus goat breeds, vol. 13, pp. 4654-4665, 2014.

The present study aimed to analyze genetic relatedness and differentiation of common native goat populations in some countries of the Middle East. The populations were Ardi, Black Bedouin, and Damascus goats in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria, respectively. Domesticated goats of the Middle East are mostly related to common ancestors, but there is limited molecular genetic evidence. Four microsatellite DNA markers were genotyped in 89 individuals of the three populations using an automated genetic analyzer.

Development of polymorphic expressed sequence tag-single sequence repeat markers in the common Chinese cuttlefish, Sepiella maindroni

R. H. Li, Lu, S. K., Zhang, C. L., Song, W. W., Mu, C. K., and Wang, C. L., Development of polymorphic expressed sequence tag-single sequence repeat markers in the common Chinese cuttlefish, Sepiella maindroni, vol. 13, pp. 5503-5506, 2014.

The common Chinese cuttlefish (Sepiella maindroni) is one of the popular edible cephalopod consumed across Asia. To facilitate the population genetic investigation of this species, we developed fourteen polymorphic microsatellite makers from expressed sequence tags of S. maindroni. The number of alleles at each locus ranged from 6 to 10 with an average of 7.9 alleles per locus. The ranges of observed and expected heterozygosity were from 0.615 to 0.962 and 0.685 to 0.888, respectively. Four loci were found deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Quantitative trait loci associated with body weight and abdominal fat traits on chicken chromosomes 3, 5 and 7

S. Z. Wang, Hu, X. X., Wang, Z. P., Li, X. C., Wang, Q. G., Wang, Y. X., Tang, Z. Q., and Li, H., Quantitative trait loci associated with body weight and abdominal fat traits on chicken chromosomes 3, 5 and 7, vol. 11, pp. 956-965, 2012.

Body weight and abdominal fat traits in meat-type chickens are complex and economically important factors. Our objective was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for body weight and abdominal fat traits in broiler chickens. The Northeast Agricultural University Resource Population (NEAURP) is a cross between broiler sires and Baier layer dams. We measured body weight and abdominal fat traits in the F2 population.

Genetic structure in fragmented populations of Solanum lycocarpum A. St.-Hil. with distinct anthropogenic histories in a Cerrado region of Brazil

T. M. Moura, Martins, K., Sujii, P. S., Sebbenn, A. M., and Chaves, L. J., Genetic structure in fragmented populations of Solanum lycocarpum A. St.-Hil. with distinct anthropogenic histories in a Cerrado region of Brazil, vol. 11, pp. 2674-2682, 2012.

Solanum lycocarpum is a woody tree widely distributed in the Cerrado that reaches high population densities in disturbed environments. We examined the genetic diversity and population differentiation of six S. lycocarpum populations with different degrees of human disturbance in order to determine if they are negatively affected by anthropogenic activity. Three populations located in southern and three located in southeastern regions of Goiás State, Central Brazil, were genotyped with five microsatellite markers.

Use of microsatellite markers in molecular analysis of segregating populations of papaya (Carica papaya L.) derived from backcrossing

F. O. Pinto, Pereira, M. G., Luz, L. N., Cardozo, D. L., Ramos, H. C. C., and Macedo, C. M. P., Use of microsatellite markers in molecular analysis of segregating populations of papaya (Carica papaya L.) derived from backcrossing, vol. 12, pp. 2248-2259, 2013.

Brazil is the world leader in papaya production. However, only a small number of cultivars are registered for commercial planting, mainly owing to delays in obtaining cultivars and the high costs of the field phase of breeding programs. These costs can be reduced when molecular tools are combined with conventional breeding methods.

Genetic diversity analysis of oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, in Yellow River using microsatellite marker

H. Qiao, Lv, D., Jiang, S. F., Sun, S. M., Gong, Y. S., Xiong, Y. W., Jin, S. B., and Fu, H. T., Genetic diversity analysis of oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, in Yellow River using microsatellite marker, vol. 12, pp. 5694-5703, 2013.

To assess the genetic status of this species, the genetic diversity of wild Macrobrachium nipponense from seven geographic locations in the Yellow River basin were investigated using 20 polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci. The genetic diversity between populations was indicated by the mean number of alleles per locus and mean observed heterozygosity (H) and the expected H, which was arranged from 2 to 10, from 0.4705 to 0.5731, and from 0.5174 to 0.6146, respectively.

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Pampus argenteus using SSR markers

Y. Qin, Shi, G., and Sun, Y., Evaluation of genetic diversity in Pampus argenteus using SSR markers, vol. 12, pp. 5833-5841, 2013.

In order to evaluate the germplasm resources of Pampus argenteus silver pomfret, the genetic diversity and population structure of 132 silver pomfret samples collected from the three regions (the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea) were examined using 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci. Results indicated a high level of genetic diversity. The total number of observed alleles was 68, the mean allele number was 5.46 per locus, and the mean number of effective alleles was 4.91. The polymorphism information content ranged from 0.58 to 0.88.

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers from Coilia ectenes

X. J. Rong, Xu, Y. J., Wang, Q. Y., Liao, M. J., Liu, X. Z., Pan, C. Y., Zhang, Z., and Wang, Y. G., Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers from Coilia ectenes, vol. 12, pp. 6011-6017, 2013.

Coilia ectenes (Jordan and Seale 1905) is an important anadromous species that is an important resource at risk of extinction because of over-fishing, pollution, and coastal construction. To evaluate the genetic diversity of C. ectenes for use in breeding programs, elite microsatellite-enriched libraries were constructed and novel microsatellite markers were developed, and applied to genetically detect wild populations. Out of 92 randomly selected and sequenced clones, 89 contained a CA or GA repeat motif.
