Authors: M.D. Shah, K.S. Verma, K. Singh and R. Kaur
Thirteen isolates of Botryodiplodia theobromae collected from pear varieties grown in various regions of Punjab were studied for morphological, pathological and molecular characterization. The mycelial growth of B. theobromae isolates was classified as fluffy or depressed, uniform to irregular and cottony white turning to blac.. Read More»

Survey of simple sequence repeats in woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca)
Authors: L. Guan, J.F. Huang, G.Q. Feng, X.W. Wang, Y. Wang, B.Y. Chen and Y.S. Qiao
The use of simple sequence repeats (SSRs), or microsatellites, as genetic markers has become popular due to their abundance and variation in length among individuals. In this study, we investigated linkage groups (LGs) in the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) and demonstrated variation in the abundances, densities, and relative densities of mononucleot..

Assessing the genetic relationships of Curcuma alismatifolia varieties using simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: S. Taheri, T.L. Abdullah, N.A.P. Abdullah, Z. Ahmad, E. Karimi and M.R. Shabanimofrad
The genus Curcuma is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that has recently become popular for use as flowering pot plants, both indoors and as patio and landscape plants. We used PCR-based molecular markers (SSRs) to elucidate genetic variation and relationships between five varieties of Curcuma (.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic relationship in Persea spp by traditional molecular markers
Authors: J.C. Reyes-Alem�¡n, E. Valadez-Moctezuma and A.F. Barrientos-Priego
Currently, the reclassification of the genus Persea is under discussion with molecular techniques for DNA analysis representing an alternative for inter- and intra-specific differentiation. In the present study, the traditional random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and the inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were use.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the forage peanut in the Jequitinhonha, S�£o Francisco, and Paran�£ River valleys of Brazil
Authors: H.S.F.S. Az�ªvedo, A.C.B. Sousa, K. Martins, J.C. Oliveira, R.B.T. Yomura, L.M. Silva, J.F.M. Valls, G.M.L. Assis and T. Campos
Arachis pintoi and A. repens are legumes with a high forage value that are used to feed ruminants in consortium systems. Not only do they increase the persistence and quality of pastures, they are also used for ornamental and green cover. The objective of this study was to analyze microsatellite markers in order to access the .. Read More»

Interpretation of electrophoretograms of seven microsatellite loci to determine the genetic diversity of the Arabian Oryx
Authors: I.A. Arif, H.A. Khan, M. Shobrak, A.A. Al Homaidan, M. Al Sadoon, A.H. Al Farhan and A.H. Bahkali
Microsatellite markers are commonly used for examining population structure, especially inbreeding, outbreeding and gene flow. An array of microsatellite loci, preferably with multiallelic presentation, is preferable for ensuring accurate results. However, artifact peaks or stutters in the electrophoretograms significantly ham.. Read More»

Genetic diversity studies in pea (Pisum sativum L.) using simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: P. Kumari, N. Basal, A.K. Singh, V.P. Rai, C.P. Srivastava and P.K. Singh
The genetic diversity among 28 pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes was analyzed using 32 simple sequence repeat markers. A total of 44 polymorphic bands, with an average of 2.1 bands per primer, were obtained. The polymorphism information content ranged from 0.657 to 0.309 with an average of 0.493. The variation in genetic diversity among these cultivars ran.. Read More»

A molecular marker for in situ genetic resource conservation of Capsicum annuum var. acuminatum (Solanaceae)
Authors: N. Kaewdoungdee and T. Tanee
The Thailand cultivar pepper ‘phrik man bangchang’ (Capsicum annuum var. acuminatum, Solanaceae) was originally cultivated in the Bangchang Subdistrict, Amphawa District in Samut Songkhram Province. The cultivated areas are limited; we verified its distribution in Thailand for in situ ‘phrik man bangchang’ genetic resource conserva.. Read More»

Fine mapping and characterization of the or gene in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp pekinensis)
Authors: C.L. Zou, Y. Zheng, P. Wang, X. Zhang, Y.-H. Wang, Z.Y. Liu and H. Feng
Orange inner leaves/heads is a qualitative trait in Chinese cabbage that is controlled by a single recessive gene. Orange head Chinese cabbage contain more carotenoids than its white head counterpart; hence, this trait is of interest to both researchers and consumers. In this study, we selected the orange head Chinese cabbage .. Read More»
