INTRODUCTION

Sugarcane is an important crop in Brazil, and this crop has social, economic and environmental impacts. Between the years 2012 and 2013, the area of sugarcane planted in Brazil was estimated at 9.8 million hectares (IBGE, 2013).

Population structure of rice varieties used in Turkish rice breeding programs determined using simple-sequence repeat and inter-primer binding site-retrotransposon data

G. Cömertpay, Baloch, F. S., Derya, M., Andeden, E. E., Alsaleh, A., Sürek, H., Özkan, H., Cömertpay, G., Baloch, F. S., Derya, M., Andeden, E. E., Alsaleh, A., Sürek, H., and Özkan, H., “Population structure of rice varieties used in Turkish rice breeding programs determined using simple-sequence repeat and inter-primer binding site-retrotransposon data”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Effective breeding programs based on genetic diversity are needed to broaden the genetic basis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Turkey. In this study, 81 commercial varieties from seven countries were studied in order to estimate the genomic relationships among them using nine inter-primer binding site (iPBS)-retrotransposon and 17 simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 59 alleles for the SSR markers and 96 bands for the iPBS-retrotransposon markers were detected, with an average of 3.47 and 10.6 per locus, respectively.

Development of microsatellite markers for Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae)

A. J. L. Rodrigues, Yamaguishi, A. T., Chaves, L. J., Coelho, A. S. G., Lima, J. S., and Telles, M. P. C., “Development of microsatellite markers for Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae)”, vol. 14, pp. 7274-7278, 2015.

Herein, we describe 34 microsatellite loci developed using an enrichment genomic library for the tree species Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae). Thirty-five individuals were genotyped using 34 primers to analyze the polymorphisms at each locus. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 20. The average number of alleles was 8.11, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.62 to 0.94. These microsatellite primers will be useful in population genetics studies for this species.

Molecular genetic analysis of heterosis in interspecific hybrids of Argopecten purpuratus x A. irradians irradians

L. P. Hu, Huang, X. T., Sun, Y., Mao, J. X., Wang, S., Wang, C. D., and Bao, Z. M., “Molecular genetic analysis of heterosis in interspecific hybrids of Argopecten purpuratus x A. irradians irradians”, vol. 14, pp. 10692-10704, 2015.

Argopecten purpuratus and Argopecten irradians irradians hybridization was successfully performed and the hybrid offspring displayed apparent heterosis in growth traits. To better understand the genetic basis of heterosis, the genomic composition and genetic variation of the hybrids were analyzed with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Seven of eight universal SSR primers displayed polymorphism in the hybrids and their parental groups, and hybrids inherited both parental genotypes at each locus.
