Genetic Relationship
Diversity, population structure, and evolution of local peach cultivars in China identified by simple sequence repeats
Authors: Z.J. Shen, R.J. Ma, Z.X. Cai, M.L. Yu and Z. Zhang
The fruit peach originated in China and has a history of domestication of more than 4000 years. Numerous local cultivars were selected during the long course of cultivation, and a great morphological diversity exists. To study the diversity and genetic background of local peach cultivars in China, a set of 158 accessions from different ecological regions,.. Read More»

Genetic variability of Brazilian Indian landraces of Arachis hypogaea L.
Authors: F.O. Freitas, M.C. Moretzsohn, J.F.M. Valls
The Kayabi Indians who inhabit the Xingu Indigenous Park, located in West Central Brazil, have grown and managed peanuts for a long time. A great number of landraces are being maintained by these tribes and some of this germplasm has morphological traits that exceed the variation described in the taxonomic literature. Here, we..

Analysis of the genetic diversity of super sweet corn inbred lines using SSR and SSAP markers
Authors: W.R. Ko1*, K.J. Sa1*, N.S. Roy3, H.-J. Choi2 and J.K. Lee1
In this study, we compared the efficiency of simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence specific amplified polymorphism (SSAP) markers for analyzing genetic diversity, genetic relationships, and population structure of 87 super sweet corn inbred lines from different origins. SSR markers showed higher average gene diversity and Shannon’s information i.. Read More»

Application of 16S rRNA, cytochrome b and control region sequences for understanding the phylogenetic relationships in Oryx species
Authors: H.A. Khan, I.A. Arif, A.A. Al Homaidan and A.H. Al Farhan
The present study reports the application of mitochondrial markers for the molecular phylogeny of Oryx species, including the Arabian oryx (AO), scimitar-horned oryx (SHO) and plains oryx (PO), using the Addax as an outgroup. Sequences of three molecular markers, 16S rRNA, cytochrome b and a control region, for the above four taxa were aligned and the top.. Read More»

Genetic relationships between selected Turkish mulberry genotypes (Morus spp) based on RAPD markers
Authors: E. Orhan and S. Ercisli
Mulberry (Morus spp, Moraceae) is an important horticultural crop in Turkey, which is one of the main world producers of mulberry fruit. We evaluated the genetic relationships among 26 mulberry genotypes selected for agronomic characteristics, using RAPD markers. A total of 367 DNA markers were generated with 34 random primers..

Genetic relationships among Heliconia (Heliconiaceae) species based on RAPD markers
Authors: L.P. Marouelli, P.W. Inglis, M.A. Ferreira and G.S.C. Buso
The family Heliconiaceae contains a single genus, Heliconia, with approximately 180 species of Neotropical origin. This genus was formerly allocated to the family Musaceae, but today forms its own family, in the order Zingiberales. The combination of inverted flowers, a single staminode and drupe fruits is an exclusive charact.. Read More»

Genetic relationships among and within wild and cultivated olives based on RAPDs
Authors: M. Sesli and E.D. YeÃ?Â?enoÃ?Â?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..

Analysis of genetic relationships and identification of lily cultivars based on inter-simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: G.F. Cui*, L.F. Wu*, X.N. Wang, W.J. Jia, Q. Duan, L.L. Ma, Y.L. Jiang and J.H. Wang
Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to discriminate 62 lily cultivars of 5 hybrid series. Eight ISSR primers generated 104 bands in total, which all showed 100% polymorphism, and an average of 13 bands were amplified by each primer. Two software packages, POPGENE 1.32 and NTSYSpc 2.1, were used to analyze the.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and classification of Tibetan yak populations based on the mtDNA COIII gene
Authors: Q.Q. Song, Z.X. Chai, J.W. Xin, S.J. Zhao, Q.M. Ji, C.F. Zhang, Z.J. Ma and J.C. Zhong
To determine the level of genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among Tibetan yak populations, the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 (COIII) genes of 378 yak individuals from 16 populations were analyzed in this study. The results showed that the length of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 gene sequences was 781 bp, with nucleotide .. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Dendranthema morifolium (Asteraceae) using next-generation sequencing
Authors: W.J. Yuan, S. Ye, L.-H. Du, S.-M. Li, X. Miao and F.-D. Shang
Dendranthema morifolium (Asteraceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to China. A long history of artificial crossings may have resulted in complex genetic background and decreased genetic diversity. To protect the genetic diversity of D. morifolium and enabling breeding of new D. morifolium cultivars, we developed a set.. Read More»
