Sunday, April 3 @ 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre Part of the African Roots, American Voices series. 15/16 Season 45 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Johnny Clegg is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons. He is a singer, songwriter, dancer, anthropologist and musical activist whose infectious crossover music, a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms, has exploded onto the international scene and broken through all the barriers in his own country. In France, where he enjoys a massive following, he is fondly called Le Zulu Blanc – the white Zulu. Over three decades, Clegg has sold over five million albums of his brand of crossover music worldwide. He has wowed vast audiences with his audacious live shows and won a number of national and international awards for his music and his outspoken views on apartheid, perspectives on migrant workers in South Africa and the general situation in the world today. Clegg’s history is as bold, colorful and dashing as the rainbow country which he has called home for more than 40 years. Clegg was born in Bacup, near Rochdale, England, in 1953, but was brought up in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Between his mother (a cabaret and jazz singer) and his step-father (a crime reporter who took him into the townships at an early age), Clegg was exposed to a broader cultural perspective than that available to his peers.

  • Genetic Variation and Population Structure of Rosa Roxburghii by Est-Based and Genomic Ssr Markers
    Pak. J. Bot., 52(4): 1315-1322, 2020. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.30848/PJB2020-4(17) GENETIC VARIATION AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF ROSA ROXBURGHII BY EST-BASED AND GENOMIC SSR MARKERS MIN LU1, HUAISHAN ZHANG1, HUAMING AN1* AND WEN ZHOU2 1Agricultural College, Guizhou University, Guizhou Engineering Research Center for Fruit Crops, Guiyang 550025, PR China 2Guizhou Hongcaijunong Investment Corporation *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Abstract Rosa roxburghii Tratt. is a well-known commercial horticultural plant in China with medicinal and nutritional values. The wild germplasm of this rose species is distributed mainly in southwest China, but the population is decreasing due to continuous exploitation, habitat destruction, and fragmentation. Therefore, assessing its genetic variation and population structure is important for effective conservation. In this study, 494 individuals from 29 natural populations from southwest China were analyzed using 10 EST-SSRs and 10 genomic-SSRs primer pairs. One hundred and fourteen different alleles were detected, with an average of 4.1 (for EST-SSR) and 7.3 (for Genomic-SSR) alleles per locus. The overall expected and observed heterozygosity values were 0.728 and 0.852, respectively, and the Shannon’s information index for each of the loci was 1.532. Our results revealed that genomic SSR markers were more polymorphic than EST-SSR markers. A moderately high level of genetic variation was maintained in the R. roxburghii population in Southwest China. AMOVA analyses showed that 93.10% of the genetic variation occurred within populations. Among the populations, the gene flow estimate of 3.373 had a high value.
