Genetic mapping of a dominant gene conferring resistance to cassava mosaic disease by Akano, A.O., Dixon, Alfred G.O., Mba, C, Barrera Sabogal, E., Fregene, Martin A.

“…To our knowledge, this is the first report of qualitative virus resistance in cassava, and of molecular markers that tag CMD resistance in cassava. We discuss the use of markers linked to CMD2 for marker-assisted breeding of CMD resistance in Latin America and for increasing the cost-effectiveness of resistance breeding in Africa.…”

CEL I nuclease digestion for SNP discovery and marker development in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by Galeano Mendoza, CH, Gómez, M., Rodríguez, L.M., Blair, Matthew W.

“…The objective of this study was to develop a SNP assay based on a type of heteroduplex mismatch cleavage called EcoTILLING for molecular marker development in this important legume, and apply the assay (i) to the conversion of a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker useful for selecting virus resistance (SR2) and (ii) to the screening of SNP polymorphisms in newly developed expressed sequence tag (EST)–based markers. The SNP assay involved heteroduplex mismatch cleavage by a single-strand specific nuclease ‘CEL I’ which was used to uncover two SNPs in the SR2 fragment and 22 SNPs in 37 candidate ESTs, some of which were used in segregation analysis. …”

Genetic diversity of physical, nutritional and functional properties of cowpea grain and relationships among the traits by Muranaka, S., Shono, M., Myoda, T., Takeuchi, J., Franco, J., Nakazawa, Y., Boukar, O., Takagi, H.

“…Several improved breeding lines were identified with low concentrations of flatulence-causing oligosaccharides and various favorable agronomic traits and nutrient contents. TVu-12802 had the highest contents of crude protein and high contents of micronutrients, with a low ratio of phytic acid to Fe and Zn contents.…”

Screening for resistance to cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora koch) in wild and cultivated cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. walp.) accessions by Souleymane, A., Akenova, M.E., Fatokun, C.A., Alabi, Y.

“…The results revealed that Among the cowpea cultivars only IT97K-556-6 showed some level of tolerance as 40 % of the seedlings survived until 21 days after infestation even with a high aphid population. The cultivar TVu 1659 had the highest number of aphids per seedling with 59.0 and 268.0 at 9 and 13 days after infestation, respectively while the wild cowpea accession TVNu 1158 had the lowest number of aphids per seedling with 3.2, 11.0 and 25.0 at 5, 9 and 13 days after infestation, respectively. …”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Anoplocnemis curvipes F. (Coreinea, Coreidae, Heteroptera), a pest of fresh cowpea pods by Valero, M.C., Ojo, J.A., Sun, W., Tamò, Manuele, Coates, B.S., Pittendrigh, Barry Robert

“…The A. curvipes mitochondrial genome consists of 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and a control region in the order and orientation typical among insects. PCG initiation codons (ATG, ATC, ATT and ATA) with termination codon (TAA) are used with the exception of TAG stop codons by Cytb and ND3. …”

Use of DNA markers for rapid improvement of crops in Africa by Thottappilly, G., Mignouna, H., Omitogun, O.

“…The technique ensures amplification of specific DNA sequences by the use of primers and the enzyme Tag DNAs (RAPDs), microsatellites and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) are some of the most useful molecular markers for DNA fingerprinting. …”

Transcriptome analysis in Ceratitis capitata to unveil genes involved in ageing-maturation process by San-Andrés, Victoria, Castanera, Pedro, Sabater-Munoz, Beatriz

“…In this work we present a genome-wide expression analysis based on SSH (substractive sequence hybridization) and EST (expressed sequence tag) sequencing and macroarray expression analysis to identify signature genes related to the ageing-maturing process in C. capitata, leading to the successful identification of new putative candidate genes of reproductive status in medfly that would serve as molecular markers for ageing. …”
