Screening of molecular markers linked to dwarf trait in crape myrtle by bulked segregant analysis

Y. J. Ye, Liu, Y., Cai, M., He, D., Shen, J. S., Ju, Y. Q., Bian, X. M., Pan, H. T., and Zhang, Q. X., Screening of molecular markers linked to dwarf trait in crape myrtle by bulked segregant analysis, vol. 14, pp. 4369-4380, 2015.

Plant height is one of the most important traits of plant architecture as it modulates both economic and ornamental values. Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica L.) is a popular ornamental woody plant because of its long-lasting mid-summer bloom, rich colors, and diversified plant architecture. These traits also make it an ideal model of woody species for genetic analysis of many ornamental traits.

Mapping an aphid resistance gene in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] P746

L. Xiao, Zhong, Y. P., Wang, B., and Wu, T. L., Mapping an aphid resistance gene in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] P746, vol. 13, pp. 9152-9160, 2014.

Soybean aphid (SA: Aphis glycines Matsumura) is one of the most serious pests of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] worldwide. A single dominant gene was found to control SA resistance in soybean line P746, which exhibits antibiosis resistance. This study aimed to define the location of the SA resistance gene in P746. A F2:3 mapping population, including 312 individuals, was created based on the cross of P746 and ‘Dongnong 47’.

Bulked segregant analysis for relative water content to detect quantitative trait loci in wheat under drought stress

M. R. Naroui Rad, M. Kadir, A., Rafii, M. Y., Jaafar, H. Z. E., and Naghavi, M. R., Bulked segregant analysis for relative water content to detect quantitative trait loci in wheat under drought stress, vol. 11, pp. 3882-3888, 2012.

This study was carried out to evaluate the genetic effect of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring drought tolerance in wheat. A population of 120 F2 individuals from the cross between the drought-tolerant S-78-11 and drought-sensitive Tajan cultivars were analyzed for their segregation under drought stress conditions. The relative water content under drought stress conditions exhibited continuous variation, indicating the minor gene effects on the trait. Single-marker analysis (SMA) was carried out to detect the main QTL association with drought tolerance.

Bulked segregant analysis of the pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) genome for identification of sex-specific molecular markers

I. G. Almeida, Ianella, P., Faria, M. T., Paiva, S. R., and Caetano, A. R., Bulked segregant analysis of the pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) genome for identification of sex-specific molecular markers, vol. 12, pp. 6299-6308, 2013.

Arapaima gigas (Osteoglossidae) is one of the largest fish species in the Amazon Basin, attaining lengths of over 2.5 m and weights of over 100 kg. Its flesh is prized, and it has great potential for production in aquaculture systems. However, live pirarucu cannot be reliably sexed visually, even after sexual development, since this species does not have clear external sexual dimorphism. Simple and inexpensive methods for sexing immature pirarucu based on DNA markers would facilitate production of this species in commercial operations. We analyzed A.
