Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Psidium Species from Restinga: A Coastal and Disturbed Ecosystem of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened biomes in the world. Here, we use a common set of microsatellite markers to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of three species from the genus Psidium (P. guajava, P.

Progressive disseminated histoplasmosis in HIV-positive patients.

Background: Histoplasmosis is the most common endemic mycosis among people living with advanced HIV infection.

Purpose: Describe general aspects and challenges of this disease and its association with HIV.

Research Design: Review of literature.

Genetic diversity and structure of landrace accessions, elite lineages and cultivars of common bean estimated with SSR and SNP markers.

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important source of proteins, fibers and minerals for humans, being grown mainly in developing countries and representing a source of income for small farmers. In this work, a set of 206 Brazilian landraces and 59 elite lineages and cultivars were genotyped with 23 SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) and 251 SNPs (Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers.
