Transferability and characterization of simple sequence repeat markers from Anacardium occidentale to A. humile (Anacardiaceae)

L. G. Cota, Moreira, P. A., Menezes, E. V., Gomes, A. S., Ericsson, A. R. O., Oliveira, D. A., and Melo, Jr., A. F., “Transferability and characterization of simple sequence repeat markers from Anacardium occidentale to A. humile (Anacardiaceae)”, vol. 11, pp. 4609-4616, 2012.

Use of molecular markers can be limited by the high cost and extensive time required for their development. Transfer of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers reduces the cost and time limitations and has allowed the use of these markers in a larger number of species. We tested 11 SSR markers previously developed for Anacardium occidentale on A. humile. The 11 loci were successfully amplified in A. humile. All loci were polymorphic and generated a mean of 5.4 alleles per locus.

Linkage and mapping analyses of the normal marking gene +P in the silkworm (Bombyx mori) using SSR markers

G. Q. Wei, Yu, L., Liu, C. L., Zhu, B. J., and Ding, H. J., “Linkage and mapping analyses of the normal marking gene +P in the silkworm (Bombyx mori) using SSR markers”, vol. 12, pp. 2351-2359, 2013.

In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, normal markings are mainly controlled by the +P gene, which is located on the second chromosome. Due to a lack of crossing over in females, reciprocal backcrossed F1 (BC1) progenies were used for linkage analysis and mapping of the +P gene based on an SSR linkage map using silkworm strains P50 and H9, which are normal marking and sex-limited marking, respectively. The +P gene was found to be linked to 3 SSR markers.
