Rice has been cultivating and utilizing by humans for thousands of years under diverse environmental conditions. Therefore, tremendous genetic differentiation and diversity has occurred at various agro-ecosystems. The significant indica-japonica differentiation in rice provides great opportunities for its genetic improvement. In the present investigation, a total of 42 polymorphic InDel markers...

Extant populations of the European wildcat are fragmented across the continent, the likely consequence of recent extirpations due to habitat loss and over-hunting. However, their underlying phylogeographic history has never been reconstructed. For testing the hypothesis that the European wildcat survived the Ice Age fragmented in Mediterranean refuges, we assayed the genetic variation at 31 mic...

BACKGROUND The natural habitat of wild P. ginseng is currently found only in the Russian Primorye and the populations are extremely exhausted and require restoration. Analysis of the genetic diversity and population structure of an endangered species is a prerequisite for conservation. The present study aims to investigate the patterns and levels of genetic polymorphism and population structure...

The use of microsatellite (SSR) markers has successfully found its application in genetic characterization and examination the origin a large number fruit species. Mediterranean germplasm is characterized by great variety almond genotypes. study covered two geographically distant regions Montenegro (Bar) Croatia (Sibenik) sample 60 Genetic analysis almonds involved ten primers for examined geno...

Abstract Aim Geogenomics seeks to understand geological processes linked lineage divergence. However, the mechanisms that conserve ancient signals in spite of gene flow are still unclear. In southern beech, deep divergence produced by vicariant events is associated with marine transgressions. We hereby evaluate hypothesis this maintained diversifying selection. Location Southern Argentina and C...

This study evaluated balsa wood (Ochroma pyramidale) plantations in the search for matrices genetic improvement. We were a total of 20 trees Mato Grosso diversity with ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) primers, as well their diameter at breast height (DBH) and commercial (CH). The primers amplified 111 loci (97.3% polymorphic), Nei (0.32) Shannon index (0.48) indicate that there is plantatio...

Amphioctopus aegina is an important fishery resource in the coastal waters of China. In present study, genetic diversity and population structure among four populations A. throughout its distributional range China were assessed using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) sequences. The results revealed a generally low (Hd: 0.2842–0.6670; Pi: 0.0007–0.0015) populations. neighbor-joining (NJ) ...

Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative modulator of muscle mass. We characterized the horse (Equus caballus) MSTN gene and identified and analysed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in breeds of different morphological types. Sequencing of coding, untranslated, intronic, and regulatory regions of MSTN gene in 12 horses from 10 breeds revealed seven SNPs: two in the promoter, four in intron 1, and o...

Silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus is an economically important seafood species. The fishery resource of pomfret in Indian waters shows a dwindling catch since the last few years and the pomfrets caught were mostly undersized which calls for immediate attempts for management of resources. An accurate definition of population structure is important for management of this species. The genetic stock...

Green lacewings are insects with great potential to be use in the biological control of agricultural pests, but relatively few studies have attempted to understand the genetic structure of these agents, especially those of predatory insects. The purpose of this study was to characterize genetically populations of C. externa using sequences of subunit I of the cytochrome oxidase, a mitochondrial...
