Genetic variation in Heterobasidion abietinum populations detected with the M13 minisatellite marker

Allelic Variation of MYF5 Gene Detected in the Camelus bactrianus

The myogenic factors (MYF) 5 gene has been reported to contribute to muscle growth and development, therefore they are considered as candidate genes for growth and meat quality related traits. The MYF5 gene is expressed during proliferation of myoblasts and comprises 3 exons. To ascertain whether there is any variation in the camel MYF5 gene, we have used a polymerase chain reaction-single stra...

Genetic Variation Within PoPulations

Seven microsatellite loci were used to develop multilocus genotypes for 49 individuals of Neotoma stephensi (Stephen’s woodrat) collected from nine sites in central and northern Arizona. Several statistical analyses were used to determine genetic structure, levels of genetic variability, and degree of relatedness. Structure analyses estimated two distinct groups within localities. The FST value...

Genetic variation in natural populations

Genetic variation detected by RAPD markers in natural populations of babassu palm (Attalea speciosa Mart.).

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of management on the genetic structure of natural populations of Attalea speciosa in the State of Piauí, Brazil, using random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Three babassu populations under different management systems were selected. Polymerase chain reactions were performed for 20 RAPD primers. A total of 146 bands were generated, ...

Genetic Variation and Inheritance of Early Growth Characteristics in Three Wild Pistachio Populations

Pistacia atlantica is the most important tree species for the economy of many rural areas in west of Iran, but no effort has been made for the genetic improvement of this species. The aim of this investigation was to study the genetic variation and inheritance of early growth traits in P. atlantica. For this purpose, three wild pistachio populations comprising 60 randomly selected adult trees f...
