Additional studies are required to shed light on DNA polymorphism levels within geographical ecotypes; these levels are important cornerstones for genetic conservation and selection programs in this species.
The oligonucleotide primers of mouse 36B4 and adipogenic marker genes were designed using a PCR primer selection program in the website of the Virtual Genomic Center from the GenBank® Nucleotide Sequence Database.
All hatchery fish are first generation progeny of wild-born parents and there has been no selection program in the hatchery (i.e. no intentional selection) and hence, we do not expect strong domestication effects.
In South Africa, the devastation caused by P. cinnamomi in the 1970s prompted the importation of clonal rootstocks and the development of a large scale selection program in the 1980s.
A negative relationship between resistance and yield was also found in selection programs in which the yield decreased as an indirect consequence of selecting for increased resistance [ 19- 21].
As additional proof of the utility of this microsatellite marker for texture selection programs in apple, a correlation with the three significant haplotypes was also observed.
In this context, CT is, meanwhile, declared as 'part of the routine genetic selection programs in modern times' (Ley, 2013).
The identification of genes associated with phenotypic differences for these traits could allow for the implementation of gene-assisted selection programs in goats.
Therefore, to improve the usefulness of molecular marker assisted selection programs in Lagerstroemia, suitable molecular markers are needed to identify, assess, conserve, and use these germplasms of Lagerstroemia.
Shortening the time required is particularly attractive for the improvement of woody species [ 2]: pedigree selection programs in Coffea arabica, a preferentially autogamous woody species, often last 25 years.
