1. Genetic differentiation and history of populations of the Italian treefrog Hyla intermedia: lack of concordance between mitochondrial and nuclear markers

Author:

Hyla; allozymes; amphibians; cytochrome b; gene flow; genes; genetic distance; genetic variation; loci; mitochondrial DNA; secondary contact
Abstract:
... The genetic differentiation among 33 populations of the Italian treefrog, Hyla intermedia (Anura: Hylidae), was investigated using both biparentally (23 allozyme loci) and maternally (partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene) inherited markers. Two main population groups were evidenced by both markers, located north and south of the northern Apennines. However, the pattern of differentiation betwee ...

Abstract:
... Cassava is a tropical crop and grown for its tuberous starchy roots. In Africa it is mainly cultivated by small-scale farmers who observe, select and name their cassava varieties based on morphology, food, social and economic interest. Here we have used an interdisciplinary approach involving farmer interviews, genetic markers and morphological descriptors to study the composition of cassava varie ...

3. Male and female effects on sperm precedence in the giant sperm species Drosophila bifurca

Subject:
Drosophila; females; males; paternity; sexual selection; sperm competition; spermatozoa
Abstract:
... Sperm competition is expected to be a driving force in sexual selection. In internally fertilized organisms, it occurs when ejaculates from more than one male are present simultaneously within the female's reproductive tract. It has been suggested that greater sperm size may improve the competitive ability of sperm, but studies provide contradictory results depending on the species. More recently, ...

4. Quantitative structure analysis of genetic diversity among spring bread wheats (Triticum aestivum L.) from different geographical regions

Subject:
Triticum aestivum; alleles; cluster analysis; genetic variation; loci; microsatellite repeats; variance; wheat; Austria; Portugal; Southern European region; Spain; Switzerland
Abstract:
... Genetic diversity in spring bread wheat (T. aestivum L.) was studied in a total of 69 accessions. For this purpose, 52 microsatellite (SSR) markers were used and a total of 406 alleles were detected, of which 182 (44.8%) occurred at a frequency of <5% (rare alleles). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 14 with an average of 7.81. The largest number of alleles per locus occurred in the ...

Abstract:
... As a result of nonequivalent genetic contribution of maternal and paternal genomes to offsprings, genomic imprinting or called parent-of-origin effect, has been broadly identified in plants, animals and humans. Its role in shaping organism's development has been unanimously recognized. However, statistical methods for identifying imprinted quantitative trait loci (iQTL) and estimating the imprinte ...

6. Chromosome banding in three species of Hypsiboas (Hylidae, Hylinae), with special reference to a new case of B-chromosome in anuran frogs and to the reduction of the diploid number of 2n = 24 to 2n = 22 in the genus

Hypsiboas; chromosome banding; chromosome number; chromosomes; differential staining; diploidy; evolution; frogs; karyotyping; Brazil
Abstract:
... The chromosomes of hylids Hypsiboas albopunctatus, H. raniceps, and H. crepitans from Brazil were analyzed with standard and differential staining techniques. The former species presented 2n = 22 and 2n = 23 karyotypes, the odd diploid number is due to the presence of an extra element interpreted as B chromosome. Although morphologically very similar to the small-sized chromosomes of the A complem ...

Abstract:
... In deletion-mapping of W-specific RAPD (W-RAPD) markers and putative female determinant gene (Fem), we used X-ray irradiation to break the translocation-carrying W chromosome (W Ze). We succeeded in obtaining a fragment of the W Ze chromosome designated as Ze W, having 3 of 12 W-RAPD markers (W-Bonsai, W-Yukemuri-S, W-Yukemuri-L). Inheritance of the Ze W fragment by males indicates that it does no ...
