Assessing molecular and morpho-agronomical diversity and identification of ISSR markers associated with fruit traits in quince (Cydonia oblonga)

Authors: I. Ganopoulos, G. Merkouropoulos, S. Pantazis, C. Tsipouridis and A. Tsaftaris

Quince is a deciduous tree known to the countries around the Mediterranean since antiquity. Nowadays, quince is used as an ornamental plant, and as a rootstock for pear trees, with its fruit being appreciated mainly for production of jam and sweets rather than for raw consumption. Quince leaves contain compounds with antioxida.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Phytophthora capsici (Pythiaceae) isolates in Anhui Province of China based on ISSR-PCR markers

Authors: P. Li S. Cao Y.L. Dai X.L. Li D.F. Xu M. Guo Y.M. Pan Z.M. Gao

Phytophthora capsici is a plant pathogenic oomycete that damages numerous crops worldwide. Consequently, interest in research on the genetic structure of this species has grown in recent decades. However, there is little information about P. capsici in eastern China. We investigated the genetic diversity of P. capsici isolates from three large regions of .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Toona sinensis Roem in China revealed by ISSR and SRAP markers

Authors: P.Y. Xing, T. Liu, Z.Q. Song and X.F. Li

Toona sinensis Roem has an important value as a type of traditional vegetable and Chinese medicinal herb, and is also a valuable source of wood in China. In this study, we used the inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to assess the level and pattern of genetic diversity in five domesticated T. sine..

Crossbreeding of Phyllostachys species (Poaceae) and identification of their hybrids using ISSR markers

Authors: X.C. Lin, Y.F. Lou, J. Liu, J.S. Peng, G.L. Liao and W. Fang

Crossbreeding is an efficient means to increase production and quality in plants; however, hybridization is seldom reported in bamboo. We crossbred two bamboo species Phyllostachys kwangsiensis (female parent) and Phyllostachys bambusoides (male parent) for the first time, and obtained suspected bamboo hybrids. We identified t..

Genetic diversity in intraspecific hybrid populations of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver evaluated from ISSR and SRAP molecular marker analysis

Authors: J. Yu, Y. Wang, M. Ru, L. Peng and Z.S. Liang

Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, the only extant species of Eucommiaceae, is a second-category state-protected endangered plant in China. Evaluation of genetic diversity among some intraspecific hybrid populations of E. ulmoides Oliver is vital for breeding programs and further conservation of this rare species. We studied the genetic diversity of 130 accessions.. Read More»

Genetic divergence through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters in accessions of Jatropha curcas

Authors: C.N. Pestana-Caldas, S.A. Silva, E.L. Machado, D.R. de Souza,E.C. Cerqueira-Pereira and M.S. Silva

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic divergence between accessions of Jatropha curcas through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters. To this end, we investigated 11 morphoagronomic characters and performed molecular genotyping, using 23 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers in 46 acce.. Read More»

A two-step method for identification of the Chinese glutinous rice Suyunuo, based on ISSR-SCAR and allele-specific markers

Authors: Y.B. Lin, Y.M. Zhang, Y.Y. Hang, M.M. Li, G.C. Zhou, X.L. Shen and X.Q. Sun

Suyunuo is a valuable glutinous rice variety cultivated mainly in the Lake Taihu area of China. Historically, Suyunuo was presented to emperors as a tribute, and, still today, enjoys a great reputation in China. This study aimed to develop a unique, specific molecular marker for the identification of Suyunuo rice. Polymerase c.. Read More»

pelB gene in isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from several hosts

Authors: L.V. Medeiros, D.B. Maciel, V.V. Medeiros, L.M. Houllou Kido and N.T. Oliveira

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important pathogen for a great number of economically important crops. During the necrotrophic phase of infection by Colletotrichum spp, the degradative enzymes of plant cell walls, such as pectate lyase, clearly increase. A gene pelB that expresses a pectate lyase was identified in isolate.. Read More»
