A-Maize-ing Maize is one of our oldest and most important crops, having been domesticated approximately 9000 years ago in central Mexico. Schnable et al. (p. 1112 ; see the cover) present results sequencing B73 inbred maize line. The findings elucidate how became diploid after an ancestral doubling its chromosomes reveals transposable element movement activity recombination. Vielle-Calzada 1078 ) have sequenced Palomero Toluqueño ( landrace, a highland popcorn from Mexico, which, when...
Abstract Population genetic studies carried out on penaeid shrimps have disclosed different patterns of population subdivision, revealing new aspects shrimp biology as well the effects historical contingency molding those patterns. However, stability observed allele frequencies over time still remains untested. The objective this article is to show analysis temporal variation allozymes in a species inhabiting Cuba which proves that structure could significantly change time. study involves...
The nesting colony of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) at Guanahacabibes Peninsula Biosphere Reserve and National Park is one the largest in Cuban archipelago; however, little information about its ecology available. Temporal spatial variation reproductive success as well morphometric characteristics gravid females were used to ecologically characterize this colony. Nine beaches Southernmost coast monitored for 14 years (1998-2012) determine turtle activity, from May September (peak season...
Conservation strategies can be most effective when factors influencing the persistence of populations are well-understood, including aspects reproductive biology such as mating system. Crocodylians have been traditionally associated with a polygynous system, genetic studies revealing multiple paternity clutches in several species. The endemic Cuban crocodile, Crocodylus rhombifer , is currently listed Critically Endangered, and one least understood crocodylian species terms its behavior....
The Galápagos archipelago is characterized by a high degree of endemism across many taxa, linked to the archipelago's oceanic origin and distance from other colonizing land masses. A population ~500 American Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) resides in Galápagos, which thought share an historical with Flamingo currently found Caribbean region. Genetic phenotypic parameters were investigated. Microsatellite mitochondrial DNA markers data showed that differs genetically Caribbean. form clade...
Abstract Flamingos are highly mobile waterbirds that can be found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The large distribution range of flamingos, the inaccessibility most their breeding sites lack species-specific molecular markers, such as microsatellites, have hampered population genetics studies these majestic birds. Here, we developed a library microsatellite loci primers using high-throughput sequencing technology could used for further genetic on Phoenicopteriformes....
Con el objetivo de evaluar la variacion morfologica y resistencia a Fusarium oxysporum en coleccion del banco germoplasma Universidad Nacional Loja (UNL), 146 accesiones cuatro especies silvestres fueron seleccionadas (Solanum pimpinellifolium, S. neorickii, habrochaites, lycopersicum var. cerasiforme); y, 20 tomate cultivado (S. lycopersicum). Un total 723 plantulas se transplantaron al campo evaluaron morfologicamente durante todo su ciclo biologico, con un descriptor que incluyo...
Captive breeding is a widespread conservation strategy, yet such programs rarely include empirical genetic data for assessing management assumptions and meeting goals. Cuban Amazon parrots (Amazona leucocephala) are considered vulnerable, multiple on-island captive populations have been established from wild-caught confiscated individuals of unknown ancestry. Here, we used mitochondrial haplotypic nuclear genotypic at 9 microsatellite loci to quantify the extent distribution variation within...
espanolMycteria americana (Aves, Ciconiidae) es la unica especie de ciguena distribuida en el Caribe. En Cuba se considera residente permanente, pero rara, y solo conocen dos colonias reproductivamente activas. este trabajo emplearon cinco loci microsatelites para caracterizar geneticamente a 37 individuos esas colonias, localizadas los mas importantes humedales Cuba: cienaga Zapata archipielago Sabana–Camaguey. Se observo una baja variabilidad indices genetica, cuyos valores fueron...
Abstract The queen conch, Aliger gigas is a large marine gastropod mollusc that inhabits shallow seagrass meadows and sandplain habitats throughout the Caribbean. Owing to overfishing degradation of environment, it has become an endangered species in most its habitat. Research on Cuban populations A. scarce mostly focused conch exploitation. present study assesses, for first time, genetic diversity population structure from six locations platform, using five microsatellite loci. At sampled...
Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) feather samples were collected from nestlings in breeding colonies the Birama Swamp (n = 34 individuals) and Sabana-Camagüey Archipelago 38 of Cuba. Genetic diversity structure determined nestling using five microsatellite loci, sibling relationships mating system inferred. The number alleles per locus ranged two to eight, with an average 5.6 a total 28 alleles, no genetic was found between Cuban colonies. Sibship 52 dyads (nestling-pairs) showed deviation...
Context: In Cuba, the venom of endemic scorpion Rhopalurus junceus has been used in traditional medicine for cancer treatment. The genetic variability populations from distinct origin and differences composition –a little explored topic- could influence pharmacological effects products medical practice. Aims: To characterize R. six different districts Moanicum sector northeastern taking into account variations sequences cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) peptide masses venom. Methods:...
