RAPD analysis of the genetic diversity among accessions of Fabaceous forages (Poincianella spp) from the Caatinga

R. F. M. Mendes, Neto, R. B. Araújo, Nascimento, M. P. S. B. C., and Lima, P. S. C., “RAPD analysis of the genetic diversity among accessions of Fabaceous forages (Poincianella spp) from the Caatinga”, vol. 13, pp. 5832-5839, 2014.

Among members of the Fabaceae family, native to the Brazilian Caatinga, the species Poincianella pyramidalis and P. bracteosa exhibit particular potential as forage for cattle, sheep and goats. With the aim of establishing genetic relationships within Poincianella, random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis was performed on eight accessions of P. pyramidalis and two accessions of P.

Genetic population differentiation of the blue swimming crab Portunus pelagicus (Portunidae) in Thai waters revealed by RAPD analysis

S. Klinbunga, Yuvanatemiya, V., Wongphayak, S., Khetpu, K., Menasveta, P., and Khamnamtong, B., “Genetic population differentiation of the blue swimming crab Portunus pelagicus (Portunidae) in Thai waters revealed by RAPD analysis”, vol. 9, pp. 1615-1624, 2010.

Genetic diversity and population differentiation of the blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus, in Thailand were analyzed by RAPD analysis. One hundred and twelve RAPD fragments were generated from 109 individuals of P. pelagicus using OPA02, OPA14, OPB10, UBC122, and UBC158 primers. The percentage of polymorphic bands in each geographic sample and that of each primer across overall samples were 72.7-85.0 and 92.0-100%, respectively. Large numbers of polymorphic bands found in the RAPD analysis suggested high genetic diversity of Thai P. pelagicus.
