Microsatellite; Oplegnathus fasciatus; Polymorphism

The rock bream fish Oplegnathus fasciatus is one of the most popular aquaculture species in China. In the present study, 15 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from a wild population of O. fasciatus from the Zhoushan coast of China. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from 4 to 9 in a sample of 30 individuals. Observed and ... more

Microsatellite; Nibea albiflora; Polymorphism

Eleven novel microsatellite loci were isolated from a (CA)10-enriched genomic DNA library of Nibea albiflora. The characteristics of these microsatellites were determined in a sample of 48 N. albiflora individuals. The number of alleles at the 11 microsatellite loci ranged from 5 to 25, with an average of 13.5 per locus. The observed and expected ... more

Diversity; Expressed sequence tags; Hevea brasiliensis; Microsatellite

Cultivated clones of Hevea brasiliensis have a narrow genetic base. In order to broaden the genetic base, it is first necessary to investigate the genetic diversity of wild populations. Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were developed to investigate the genetic diversity of Hevea populations. Four hundred and thirty microsatellites were ... more

Microsatellite; Molecular markers; Polymorphism; Portunus trituberculatus

The Swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (Portunidae) is an important economically food species. To provide molecular markers for P. trituberculatus, we isolated and characterized polymorphic microsatellite markers. We developed a 5'-anchored genomic library of P. trituberculatus DNA, and derived 45 positive clones. We designed 30 pairs of primers from the ... more

Microsatellite; Mytilus coruscus; Mytilus galloprovincialis; Populations

Korean (hard-shelled) mussels (Mytilus coruscus) are an economically important endemic marine bivalve mollusk of Korea; yet, the population has rapidly declined because of overharvesting and habitat competition from the invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis species. The population structures of M. coruscus and M. galloprovincialis were analyzed by next- ... more

Brazilian Atlantic forest; conservation genetics; Microsatellite; Population genetics; Tropical tree species

Cariniana legalis is one of the largest tropical trees with a wide distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. We investigated the Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at seven microsatellite loci specifically isolated for C. legalis, and at two previously developed heterologous microsatellite loci. Forty to 100 open-pollinated ... more

Brassicaceae; Microsatellite; Population genetics; Wild Brassica juncea

Wild Brassica juncea is a widespread weed in China with increasingly great impact on the yield of many crops. This study aimed to develop microsatellite markers for assessing the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of B. juncea, and to provide basic information for biological and chemical control of the weed. The compound microsatellite marker technique ... more

Cross-species transfer; Microsatellite; Mytilus coruscus; Pyrosequencing

The Korean mussel Mytilus coruscus, an endemic marine bivalve mollusk, is economically important. Its population is currently decreasing due to overexploitation and invasion of a more competitive species, Mytilus galloprovincialis. In this study, microsatellite markers for M. coruscus were developed using a cost-effective pyrosequencing technique. Among the 33, ... more

Dioscorea sect. Stenophora; Dioscorea zingiberensis; Microsatellite; Transferability

Dioscorea zingiberensis C.H. Wright (Dioscoreaceae) is an endemic species in central and southwestern China. In order to study the genetic diversity and population structure of this species, 19 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed using a dual-suppression PCR technique. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 21, with an average of 9.53. All the markers ... more

The endangered perennial plant Annamocarya sinensis (Dode) Leroy is a tertiary relict tree restricted to southeastern China and northern Vietnam. To explore endangerment mechanisms, develop protection strategies, and guide reintroduction efforts for this species, we investigated genetic diversity and population structure by surveying 70 individuals from three distinct ... more
