Genetic diversity of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi based on de novo microsatellite markers.

Epizootics of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi regulate lepidopteran populations in soybean, cotton, and peanut agroecosystems to the point that insecticide applications could be unnecessary. However, the contribution and how different strains operate during the epizootic are unknown. Several unanswered questions remain: 1.

Phenotypic, molecular and pathogenic characterization of infecting species in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Anthracnose is a disease caused by spp., one of the world's most damaging sweet and chili pepper pathogens, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, anthracnose is one of the main obstacles for pepper crops.

Evaluation of a panel of microsatellite markers to study their applications in and to reveal the genetic diversity in .

Jewel tetra () is a freshwater fish found in several rivers and basins in South America. The present study is the first study to create a panel of microsatellite markers for detecting genetic diversity in and evaluating the application of these markers in . In total, 44 individuals were genotyped from the natural (WIL,  = 20) and stock in captivity (CAP,  = 24) population.
