Identification and mapping of resistance genes to Phakopsora pachyrhizi in soybean (Glycine max L.) accession PI 594767-A

G. A. F. Rocha, Alves, D. P., Oliveira, J. C., Brommonschenkel, S. H., Rocha, G. A. F., Alves, D. P., Oliveira, J. C., and Brommonschenkel, S. H., Identification and mapping of resistance genes to Phakopsora pachyrhizi in soybean (Glycine max L.) accession PI 594767-A, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The goal of this study was to study resistance inheritance in the soybean (Glycine max L.) accession PI 594767-A to the Phakopsora pachyrhizi isolate PPUFV02, and map the resistance gene(s) identified using microsatellite markers. Crosses between PI 594767-A and the susceptible cultivar ‘Conquista’ gave rise to the segregating subpopulations 26C-2 and 26C-5, which in the F2 generation were evaluated for their reactions to PPUFV02. In addition, analyses with microsatellite markers linked to the Rpp1-Rpp5 loci were also performed.

Marker-assisted selection of Fusarium wilt-resistant and gynoecious melon (Cucumis melo L.)

P. Gao, Liu, S., Zhu, Q. L., and Luan, F. S., Marker-assisted selection of Fusarium wilt-resistant and gynoecious melon (Cucumis melo L.), vol. 14, pp. 16255-16264, 2015.

In this study, molecular markers were designed based on the sex determination genes ACS7 (A) and WIP1 (G) and the domain in the Fusarium oxysporum-resistant gene Fom-2 (F) in order to achieve selection of F. oxysporum-resistant gynoecious melon plants. Markers of A and F are cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences that distinguish alleles according to restriction analysis.

Analysis of polymorphisms in the FUT1 and TAP1 genes and their influence on immune performance in Pudong White pigs

Y. Zhang, Wang, M., Yu, X. Q., Ye, C. R., and Zhu, J. G., Analysis of polymorphisms in the FUT1 and TAP1 genes and their influence on immune performance in Pudong White pigs, vol. 14, pp. 17193-17203, 2015.

FUT1 and TAP1 have been identified as candidate genes that offer resistance against Escherichia coli F18 infection, with the AA genotype in FUT1 and the GG genotype in TAP1 conferring resistance. In order to confirm polymorphisms at FUT1 M307 and TAP1 G729, and evaluate their influence on immunity performance in Pudong White pigs, we performed polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, measured immune indices, and compared the results with those observed in Large White pigs.
