  1. Characterisation of microsatellite markers in the Spotted Sand Lizard (<em>Pedioplanis lineoocellata</em>) shows low levels of inbreeding and moderate genetic diversity on a small spatial scale

    Characterisation of microsatellite markers in the Spotted Sand Lizard (Pedioplanis lineoocellata) shows low levels of inbreeding and moderate genetic diversity on a small spatial scale

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Herpetology • Authors: Krystal A. Tolley --- , , South Africa Ryan J. Daniels --- , , South Africa Kevin A. Feldheim --- , , USA
    Population genetic methods can be useful for understanding spatial genetic patterns, gene flow and diversity. While genetic markers such as gene sequences are useful for understanding broad scale phylogeographic patterns, microsatellite markers allow for inferences within species and on smaller...

  2. Inheritance of fruit neck, rind and seed coat hardness, and seed coat colour in bottle gourd

    Inheritance of fruit neck, rind and seed coat hardness, and seed coat colour in bottle gourd

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Nogbou F Amangoua --- UFR des Sciences de la Nature, Breeding and Crop Husbandry Unit, Côte d’Ivoire Kouamé K Koffi --- UFR des Sciences de la Nature, Breeding and Crop Husbandry Unit, Côte d’Ivoire Jean-Pierre Baudoin --- Unité de Phytotechnie Tropicale et d’Horticulture, Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, Belgium Irié A Zoro Bi --- UFR des Sciences de la Nature, Breeding and Crop Husbandry Unit, Côte d’Ivoire
    Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.) is an edible, medicinal and decorative plant exhibiting wide genetic variation for fruit and seed characters, but it remains under-researched. This study assessed inheritance of fruit neck, fruit rind hardness, seed coat hardness and...

  3. Genetic diversity of endangered sandalwood (<em>Osyris lanceolata</em>) populations in Kenya using ISSR molecular markers

    Genetic diversity of endangered sandalwood (Osyris lanceolata) populations in Kenya using ISSR molecular markers

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: East African Agricultural and Forestry Journal • Authors: KP Andiego --- Department of Forestry and Wood Science, Kenya OG Dangasuk --- Department of Biological Sciences, Kenya DW Odee --- Biotechnology Laboratory, Kenya FS Omondi --- Biotechnology Laboratory, Kenya DF Otieno --- Department of Biological Sciences, Kenya BK Balozi --- Department of Forestry and Wood Science, Kenya
    Osyris lanceolata is an evergreen, drought tolerant tropical African tree species belonging to the family Santalaceae. It is endangered, owing to overexploitation for its essential oil used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. The study aimed at determining: (1) the genetic...
