The pomegranate is an economically important fruit plant species which has been utilized since ancient time as a source of food and medicine by mankind. This although cultivated in certain geographical regions, but its fruits are imported sold throughout the world. Iran center origin for contains huge number known cultivars. However, genetic studied on these cultivars very limited much detailed...

The common snook is one of the most abundant and economically important species in Usumacinta basin Gulf Mexico, which has led to overfishing, threatening their populations. main goal present study was assess genetic diversity structure along River order understand population dynamics conservation status species. We characterized two mitochondrial markers (mtCox1 mtCytb) 11 microsatellites basi...

The relative stability of cholesterol in cellular membranes and the thermodynamics of fluctuations from equilibrium have important consequences for sterol trafficking and lateral domain formation. We used molecular dynamics computer simulations to investigate the partitioning of cholesterol in a systematic set of lipid bilayers. In addition to atomistic simulations, we undertook a large set of ...

Here, we examined the genetic variability in the coral genus Pocillopora, in particular within the Primary Species Hypothesis PSH09, identified by Gélin, Postaire, Fauvelot and Magalon (2017) using species delimitation methods [also named Pocillopora eydouxi/meandrina complex sensu, Schmidt-Roach, Miller, Lundgren, & Andreakis (2014)] and which was found to split into three secondary species hy...

The fruit fly Ceratitis cosyra is an important agricultural pest negatively affecting the mango crop production throughout Africa and also feeding on a variety of other wild and cultivated hosts. The occurrence of deeply divergent haplotypes, as well as extensive morphological variability, previously suggested possible cryptic speciation within Ceratitis cosyra. Here we provide the first large-...

Although historical records of introductions that trigger successful biological invasions are common, subsequent patterns dispersal and colonisation routes unclear. We use microsatellites to examine genetic population structuring established invasive brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations in Newfoundland, Canada, for evidence “natural” dispersal, human-mediated introductions, routes. also explo...

ABSTRACT Rhinoptera bonasus is a bento-pelagic and highly migratory species occurring from southern United States to northern Argentina. Due overfishing effects, R. currently at risk, classified by the IUCN Red List as vulnerable. Considering lack of molecular data available for bonasus, this study aimed describe genetic variability population structure specimens sampled three Brazilian coast e...

Durum wheat is the 10th most important crop in the world, and its use traces back to the origin of agriculture. Unfortunately, in the last century only part of the genetic diversity available for this species has been captured in modern varieties through breeding. Here, the population structure and genetic diversity shared among elites and landraces collected from 32 countries was investigated....
