To initiate the characterization of the Portuguese grapevine genepool, we have genotyped
49 Portuguese grapevine cultivars at 11 microsatellite loci. The markers proved to be …

Intense selective pressures applied over short evolutionary time have resulted in homogeneity
within, but substantial variation among, horse breeds. Utilizing this population structure, …

Horses were domesticated from the Eurasian steppes 5,000–6,000 years ago. Since then,
the use of horses for transportation, warfare, and agriculture, as well as selection for desired …

Purpose Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play important key roles in the soil ecosystems
as they link plants to the root-inaccessible part of soil. The aims of this study were to …

Background To date, genome-scale analyses in the domestic horse have been limited by
suboptimal single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density and uneven genomic coverage of …

A system was developed which allows the transfer of foreign genes into apricot cultivars. We
report the transformation and regeneration of Prunus armeniaca plants with Agrobacterium …

The sequences of 21 primer pairs of microsatellite loci screened from a genomic library of
apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) are reported in this study. All the identified microsatellite loci …

We developed an electroporation method which is more than three orders of magnitude
more efficient than a similar method described recently (1), allowing the transfer of the binary …
