Genomic comparison between Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzicola,usingsuppression-subtractive hybridization por Soto Suárez, M., González, C., Piegu, B, Tohme, Joseph M., Verdier, Valerie M.

“…Although both the Asian and the African strains of Xoo induce similar symptoms, they are genetically different, with the African Xoo strains being more closely related to the Asian Xoc. To identify the sequences responsible for differences between African and Asian Xoo strains and their relatedness to Xoc strains, a suppression-subtractive hybridization (SSH) procedure was performed, using the African Xoo MAI1 strain as a tester and the Philippine Xoo PXO86 strain and Xoc BLS256 strain as drivers. …”

Microsatellite repeats in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) : Isolation, characterization, and cross-species amplification in Phaseolus ssp por Gaitán Solís, Eliana, Duque E., Myriam Cristina, Edwards, K.J., Tohme, Joseph M.

“…Almost all the microsatellite loci showed high levels of discriminatory power, with the highest value being 0.94. These results indicate that microsatellites can be valuable genetic markers for assessing genetic diversity in the P. vulgaris The high levels of polymorphism of these new bean microsatellites and their wide cross-species transportability make these new markers useful for mapping and molecular characterization of Phaseolus species.…”

The potential benefits and challenges of agricultural animal biotechnology to pastoralists por Loquang, T.M., Köhler-Rollefson, Ilse

“…Furthermore, the questions of intellectual property rights over genetically engineered livestock need to be resolved otherwise there is the danger of the genetic traits of indigenous livestock being pirated by industrial breeders. The loss of biodiversity and of pastoralist livelihoods might also be possible consequences. …”
