Assessing wheat (Triticum aestivum) genotypes for â??Yrâ? resistance genes using conserved regions and simple-sequence motifs
Authors: E. Cabuk, Y. Aydin and A.A. Uncuoglu
Analysis of DNA sequence variation among genotypes is useful for differentiation of wheat accessions, selection strategies and genetic development of crop plants. We screened molecular markers for yellow rust resistance genes (Yr7, Yr9, Yr15, Yr18, Yr26, and YrH52), which are in the gene-rich regions of wheat chromosomes 1B, 2.. Read More»

An inexpensive and rapid method for extracting papilionoid genomic DNA from herbarium specimens
Authors: M. Riahi, S. Zarre, A.A. Maassoumi, F. Attar and S. Kazempour Osaloo
Three DNA extraction protocols were compared for their ability to yield DNA from the leaves of herbarium specimens of nine species from nine genera of the Papilionoideae. We tested two protocols that use classic procedures for lysis and purification with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB); a third protocol used a Nucleospi.. Read More»

Genetic variability among natural populations of Zaprionus indianus (Drosophilidae) in the States of S?£o Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil
Authors: D. Braganholi, M. B?©lo, B.W. Bertoni, A.L. Fachin, R.O. Beleboni and S.M. Zingaretti
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to detect polymorphisms among Zaprionus indianus fly populations collected from six municipalities in the States of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil. This species is an important, recently introduced fruit fly pest of figs and other fruit. Among 21 primers, 16 produced .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm in Pakistan as revealed by RAPD analysis
Authors: F. Ahmad, A.I. Khan, F.S. Awan, B. Sadia, H.A. Sadaqat and S. Bahadur
Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea germplasm can provide practical information for the selection of parental material and thus assist in planning breeding strategies. Chickpea seed is a good source of carbohydrates and proteins, constituting 80% of the total dry seed weight. Released cultivars and advanced lines of 30 chic.. Read More»

Investigation of the effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA repair genes on the risk of glioma
Authors: K. Gao, S.Q. Mu and Z.X. Wu
Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair gene have been shown to affect DNA repair and to modify susceptibility to cancer. In this study, to investigate the role of these SNPs in glioma, we examined the potential association of 14 SNPs in DNA repair genes with the glioma risk in a Chinese population. We inc.. Read More»

Genetic relationships among and within wild and cultivated olives based on RAPDs
Authors: M. Sesli and E.D. Ye??eno??lu
We examined genetic relationships among wild and cultivated olives, which is a very important crop in the economy of the Aegean region. We used RAPD analysis to evaluate relationships among and within 22 olive subspecies from Manisa, Mugla and Izmir provinces in Turkey. Twelve of the subspecies were wild and 10 were cultivated..

Genetic variability of genes involved in DNA repair influence treatment outcome in osteosarcoma
Authors: M.J. Wang, Y. Zhu, X.J. Guo and Z.Z. Tian
We conducted a perspective study to investigate the role of ERCC1 (rs11615), ERCC2 (rs13181 and rs1799793), ERCC4 (rs1800067), and ERCC5 (rs17655) in NER pathway in the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients. In total, 146 osteosarcoma patients were recruited between 2008 and 2013. ERCC1 rs11615, ERCC2 rs13181 and rs1799793, ERCC4 rs1800067, and ERCC5 rs17655.. Read More»

AFLP markers for identification of Swertia species (Gentianaceae)
Authors: A. Misra, A.K. Shasany, A.K. Shukla, M.P. Darokar, S.C. Singh, V. Sundaresan, J. Singh, G.D. Bagchi, S.P. Jain1, D. Saikia and S.P.S. Khanuja
The genus Swertia is well known for its medicinal properties, as described in the Indian pharmacopoeia. Different members of this genus, although somewhat similar in morphology, differ widely in their pharmacological and therapeutic properties. The most important species of this genus, with maximal therapeutic properties, is S.. Read More»

Worldwide diversity of the Y-chromosome tetra-local microsatellite DYS464
Authors: F.S.G. Kehdy and S.D.J. Pena
Of all DNA markers on the human Y-chromosome, the tetra-local Y-linked microsatellite DYS464 is the most polymorphic. We genotyped DYS464 in 677 male samples collected worldwide, maintained in the HGDP-CEPH Human Genome Diversity Cell Line Panel. Fourteen different alleles were found, with allele lengths varying from 9 to 23 r.. Read More»
