Yuan, Ye, S., Du, L. - H., Li, S. - M., Miao, X., Shang, F. - D., Yuan, W. - J., Ye, S., Du, L. - H., Li, S. - M., Miao, X., and Shang, F. - D., “Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Dendranthema morifolium (Asteraceae) using next-generation sequencing”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Dendranthema morifolium (Asteraceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to China. A long history of artificial crossings may have resulted in complex genetic background and decreased genetic diversity. To protect the genetic diversity of D. morifolium and enabling breeding of new D. morifolium cultivars, we developed a set of molecular markers. We used pyrosequencing of an enriched microsatellite library by Roche 454 FLX+ platform, to isolate D. morifolium simple sequence repeats (SSRs).

Genetic diversity and population structure of Castanopsis eyrei based on simple sequence repeat markers

L. H. Mao, Zhou, X. L., Fang, Y. M., Mao, L. H., Zhou, X. L., and Fang, Y. M., “Genetic diversity and population structure of Castanopsis eyrei based on simple sequence repeat markers”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Castanopsis eyrei (Fagaceae) is one of the dominant tree species in mid-subtropical, evergreen, broad-leaved forests. We obtained 14 pairs of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers from previous studies, which were used to analyze 90 C. eyrei individuals from three populations at different altitudes. Low heterozygosity was detected (Fis = 0.6124), and the observed heterozygosity was lower than the expected heterozygosity, possibly because of inbreeding and/or the population substructure.

Assessment of genetic diversity of Tunisian orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck using microsatellite (SSR) markers

A. Mahjbi, Oueslati, A., Baraket, G., Salhi-Hannachi, A., S. Azouzi, Z., Mahjbi, A., Oueslati, A., Baraket, G., Salhi-Hannachi, A., and S. Azouzi, Z., “Assessment of genetic diversity of Tunisian orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck using microsatellite (SSR) markers”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Citrus are one of the most cultivated crops in the world. Economically, they are very important fruit trees in Tunisia. Little is known about the genetic diversity of the Tunisian Citrus germplasm. Exploring this diversity is a prerequisite for the identification and characterization of the local germplasm to circumvent and controlling genetic erosion caused by biotic and abiotic stress to aid its conservation and use.

Development of microsatellite markers in Hagenia abyssinica (Bruce) J.F. Gmel, an endangered tropical tree of eastern Africa, using next-generation sequencing

A. W. Gichira, Long, Z. C., Hu, G. W., Gituru, R. W., Wang, Q. F., Chen, J. M., Gichira, A. W., Long, Z. C., Hu, G. W., Gituru, R. W., Wang, Q. F., and Chen, J. M., “Development of microsatellite markers in Hagenia abyssinica (Bruce) J.F. Gmel, an endangered tropical tree of eastern Africa, using next-generation sequencing”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Hagenia abyssinica (Bruce) J.F. Gmel is an endangered tree species endemic to the high mountains of tropical Africa. We used Illumina paired-end technology to sequence its nuclear genome, aiming at creating the first genomic data library and developing the first set of genomic microsatellites. Seventeen microsatellite markers were validated in 24 individuals. The average number of alleles per locus was 7.6, while the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.000 to 0.958 and from 0.354 to 0.883, respectively.

Characterization of novel polymorphic genomic microsatellite markers of Boehmeria tricuspis (Hance) Makino

Q. Tang, Chen, J. H., Zang, G. G., Luan, M. B., Tang, Q., Chen, J. H., Zang, G. G., Luan, M. B., Tang, Q., Chen, J. H., Zang, G. G., and Luan, M. B., “Characterization of novel polymorphic genomic microsatellite markers of Boehmeria tricuspis (Hance) Makino”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

In the present study, 59 polymorphic microsatellite loci of Boehmeria tricuspis (Hance) Makino were developed from the specific length amplified fragment sequencing data library of genome. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to five, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.0000 to 1.0000 and from 0.0769 to 0.6751, respectively. Among the 59 loci, 25 displayed significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations (P B.

Virulence and genetic diversity among isolates of Mycosphaerella fijiensis in two regions of Brazil

G. F. Silva, Santos, V. S., Sousa, N. R., Hanada, R. E., Gasparotto, L., Silva, G. F., Santos, V. S., Sousa, N. R., Hanada, R. E., Gasparotto, L., Silva, G. F., Santos, V. S., Sousa, N. R., Hanada, R. E., and Gasparotto, L., “Virulence and genetic diversity among isolates of Mycosphaerella fijiensis in two regions of Brazil”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Black sigatoka, caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis (anamorphic stage: Paracercospora fijiensis), was first detected in Brazil in early 1998 in the Benjamin Constant and Tabatinga municipalities in the State of Amazonas, near to where the borders of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru converge. Understanding how cultivars react to the pathogen, and characterizing the genetic variability of isolates from two distant and distinct banana-producing regions, are important for determining the virulence of M. fijiensis.
