Evaluation of microsatellite allelic patterns to DNA fingerprinting in rubber tree clones

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is native to the Amazon region, and it is widely exploited due to natural rubber produced from latex. There are many clonal varieties, without certification tests. In order to determine a genetic certification, 15 clones were genotyped to identify their genetic patter...

Identificación molecular y diversidad genética de las especies de nematodos Globodera rostochiensis y G. pallida en regiones productoras de papa de Guatemala

Cienc. tecnol. salud; 9 (2), 2022
En Guatemala, la producción del cultivo de papa se ve afectada por los nematodos Globodera rostochiensis y Globo-dera pallida. La capacidad de ambas especies para formar quistes complica su control y provoca el aumento de sus poblaciones. En Guatemala se reporta la presencia de ambas especies de nematod...

Análisis genético de cinco polimorfismos de nucleótido simple de caseínas lácteas obtenidos con chips genómicos en ganado Holstein de Antioquia, Colombia

Rev. med. vet. zoot; 68 (2), 2021
RESUMEN Los polimorfismos genéticos asociados con las caseínas de la leche son de gran importancia, ya que pueden ser usados como marcadores genéticos para mejorar el rendimiento productivo en los hatos lecheros. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la diversidad y estructura genética de 5 SNP de ...

Metapopulation dynamics of the migratory fish Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes: Prochilodontidae) in a lotic remnant of the Grande River, Southeastern Brazil

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (4), 2021
River impoundments for electricity generation lead to environmental changes which severely affect fish migration and species richness. However, little is known about their effect on the genetic structure and population dynamics downstream from the reservoir. Here, we analyzed a set of ten microsatellite ...

Genetic diversity in two threatened species of guitarfish (Elasmobranchii: Rhinobatidae) from the Brazilian and Argentinian coasts: an alert for conservation

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (2), 2021
The guitarfishes Pseudobatos horkelii and Pseudobatos percellens meet the criteria for threatened status as Critically Endangered (CR) and Endangered (EN), respectively. Both species occur in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. Considering the lack of data on the genetic structure of these species, the present ...

Evidence on the paleodrainage connectivity during Pleistocene: Phylogeography of a hypoptopomatine endemic to southeastern Brazilian coastal drainages

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (2), 2021
The coastal basins of southeastern Brazil are influenced by climatic changes that caused sea-level oscillations during the Pleistocene. These marine transgressions and regressions can generate isolation and connection among coastal rivers. In this region, freshwater fishes are excellent models for phylog...

Anthropogenic river fragmentation reduces long-term viability of the migratory fish Salminus brasiliensis (Characiformes: Bryconidae) populations

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (2), 2021
Life-history, geographical barriers, and damming can shape the genetic diversity of freshwater migratory fish, which are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts. We investigated the genetic diversity of Salminus brasiliensis, a long-distance migratory species that is recognized as an important p...

Transgênicos e o princípio de equivalência substancial
Transgenics and the principle of substantial equivalence

Estud. av; 33 (95), 2019
Objetivamos discutir os principais argumentos que estão envolvidos no debate sobre a cientificidade do Princípio de Equivalência Substancial (PES), que afirma serem os OGM quimicamente equivalentes aos organismos selecionados pelas técnicas tradicionais de melhoramento, não requerendo, portanto, est...

Bases moleculares de la resistencia a meticilina en Staphylococcus aureus

Rev. chil. infectol; 35 (1), 2018
Resumen Desde el inicio de la era antimicrobiana se han ido seleccionando gradualmente cepas de Staphylococcus aureus resistentes a antimicrobianos de amplio uso clínico. Es así como en 1960 se describen en Inglaterra las primeras cepas resistentes a meticilina, y algunos años después son informadas ...

Genetic diversity in two Italian almond collections

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (1), 2015
Background Sweet-seeded domesticated almonds were brought to the Mediterranean Basin from central Asia about 4000 years ago. In Italy, most of the almonds produced are cultivated in the southern part of the country. Local populations of the tree in Sardinia are largely seed-derived and mostly self-incomp...
