With the development of molecular marker technology in the 1980s, the fate of plant
breeding has changed. Different types of molecular markers have been developed and …

Microsatellite or Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers have evolved to the status of a
most versatile and popular genetic marker in a ubiquity of plant systems. Due to their co …

Background The taxonomy and infrageneric delimitation of Phalaenopsis Blume has been
significantly disputed due to some overlapping morphological features between species …

Background Characterisation of plastid genome (or cpDNA) polymorphisms is commonly
used for phylogeographic, population genetic and forensic analyses in plants, but detecting …

Microsatellites occur in all plant genomes and provide useful markers for studies of genetic
diversity and structure. Chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSRs) are frequently targeted because …

Abstract Giant Amazon river turtles, Podocnemis expansa, are indigenous to the Amazon,
Orinoco, and Essequibo River basins, and are distributed across nearly the entire width of …

Past climatic changes and especially the ice ages have had a great impact on both the
distribution and the genetic composition of plant populations, but whether they promoted …

Quaternary climatic fluctuations have left contrasting historical footprints on the neutral
genetic diversity patterns of existing populations of different tree species. We should expect …

Aim To explore the genetic and phylogeographic structure of a temperate forest species,
Pinus strobiformis Englem., in a subtropical region in the context of climate change during …

Abstract The Strait of Gibraltar (SG) is reputed for being both a bridge and a geographic
barrier to biological exchanges between Europe and Africa. Major genetic breaks …
