  1.  Abundance and diversity of prymnesiophytes in the picoplankton community from the Equatorial Pacific Ocean inferred from 18S rDNA sequences
Author(s): SY Moon-Van der Staay, GWM van der Staay, L Guillou, D* Vaulot, H Claustre, LK Medlin
Source: Limnology and Oceanography [Limnol. Oceanogr.], vol. 45, no. 1, pp. 98-109, Jan 2000
Subject: Abundance; Species diversity; Phytoplankton; Pacific Ocean; Picoplankton; 19'-Hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin; rRNA 18S; Prymnesiophyceae
Description: Picoplankton, i.e., cells smaller than 2-3 mu m, dominate in most open oceanic regions, such as in the Pacific Ocean. In these areas, the dominant carotenoid of photosynthetic eukaryotes is 19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin (19HF), considered to be a diagnostic marker for prymnesio...

Subject: Genetic analysis; Biotechnology; Genetic engineering; Gene mapping; Restriction fragment length polymorphism; DNA technologies; Agaricus bisporus
Description: During the last decade several major breakthroughs have been achieved in mushroom biotechnology, which greatly enhanced classical mushroom breeding. DNA-based technologies such as restriction fragment length polymorphisms and randomly amplified polydisperse DNA sequences hav...

  
  3. Allozyme variation in Korean populations of Taxus cuspidata (Taxaceae)
Author(s): Myong Gi Chung, Gap Soo Oh, Jae Min Chung
Source: Scandinavian J For Res, vol. 14, no. 2, pp. 103-110, 1999
Subject: Plants (botany); Molecular structure; Enzymes; Genes; Ecology ; Allozymes; Genetic diversity; Taxus cuspidata
Description: The genetic diversity and structure of six Korean populations of Taxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc., a widespread and dioecious tree native to east Asia, was examined. Although Korean populations are isolated and located over 1000 m a.s.l., they maintain moderate levels of alloz...

  
  4.  Analysis of genetic variation in Astragalus cremnophylax var. cremnophylax, a critically endangered plant, using AFLP markers
Author(s): SE Travis, J Maschinski, P* Keim
Source: Molecular Ecology [Mol. Ecol.], vol. 5, no. 6, pp. 735-745, Dec 1996
Subject: genetic variation; Astragalus cremnophylax; amplified fragment length polymorphism; conservation genetics; genetic markers; population structure
Description: A recently developed molecular technique (amplified fragment length polymorphisms, AFLP) was used for characterizing genetic heterogeneity within and among populations of a critically endangered species of plant, Astragalus cremnophylax var. cremnophylax. Using AFLP, up to 5...

  
  5. Angling impact on conservation of Spanish stream-dwelling brown trout Salmo trutta
Author(s): A* Almodovar, GG Nicola
Source: Fisheries Management and Ecology [Fish. Manage. Ecol.]. Vol. 11, no. 3-4, pp. 173-182. Jun 2004.
Subject: Human impact; Resource exploitation; Fishery management; Stocking; Population genetics; Population decline; River fisheries; Man-induced effects; Fishery resources; Angling; Stocking (organisms); Population structure; Age composition; Overfishing; Life history; Size-limit regulations; Nature conservation; Fishery regulations; Sport fishing; Conservation; Salmo trutta; Spain ; sport fishing; Brown trout
Description: Spanish brown trout, Salmo trutta L., populations are currently overexploited as a result of unsuitable management activities, and their genetic uniqueness is threatened by introgression of foreign genes because of stocking. In this study, the status and management of trout ...

  
  6.  Animal genetic resources and domestic animal diversity in Nepal
Author(s): RT Wilson
Source: Biodiversity and Conservation [Biodivers. Conserv.], vol. 6, no. 2, pp. 233-251, Feb 1997
Subject: Nepal; conservation; genetic resources; domestic animals
Description: Domestic livestock in Nepal belong to 17 species, including five Bovidae (and interspecific hybrids of two of them), seven Aves, two Equidae (not including mules), pig (Sus scrofa), rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and elephant (Loxodonta africana). Cattle (Bos taurus and Bos ...

  
  7. Antigen-binding characteristics of mAbs derived from in vivo priming of avian B cells
Author(s): N Michael, M Accavitti, E Masteller, C Thompson
Source: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA], vol. 95, no. 3, pp. 1166-1171, 3 Feb 1998
Subject: Monoclonal antibodies; Lymphocytes B; V(D)J recombination
Description: In most vertebrates, a primary antibody repertoire is created through the recombination of a diverse set of Ig variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) gene segments. In contrast, an avian immune repertoire is generated by gene conversion of rearranged Ig genes during B ...

  
  8.  Application of molecular techniques in environmental biotechnology for monitoring microbial systems
