Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Tunisian cactus species (Opuntia) as revealed by random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers
Authors: M. Bendhifi Zarroug, G. Baraket, L. Zourgui, S. Souid and A. Salhi Hannachi
Opuntia ficus indica is one of the most economically important species in the Cactaceae family. Increased interest in this crop stems from its potential contribution to agricultural diversification, application in the exploitation of marginal lands, and utility as additional income sources for farmers. In Tunisia, O. ficus indica has been affected by dras.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in wild species of passion fruit (Passiflora trintae) based on molecular markers
Authors: C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva, C.B. Cardoso-Silva, E.S.L. Santos, L.D.H.C.S. Concei?§?£o, A.S. Pereira, A.C. Oliveira and R.X. Corr?ªa
In spite of the importance of and the considerable variability observed in Passiflora (Passifloraceae), little is known about the genetic diversity of most of the species of this genus. We evaluated the genetic diversity by RAPD markers in 18 genotypes of Passiflora trintae. The 15 primers generated 112 markers, 84% of which w.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of heat tolerant tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes by SRAP and RAPD markers
Authors: N. Comlekcioglu, O. Simsek, M. Boncuk and Y. Aka-Kacar
We employed RAPD and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate polymorphisms in 15 tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes that were obtained from a tomato breeding program. Four local tomato genotypes selected from the Sanliurfa province (Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey), 10 heat-tolerant tomat.. Read More»

Variable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp)
Authors: S.A.L. Garcia*, T.A.J. Van der Lee*, C.F. Ferreira*, B. Te Lintel Hekkert, M.-F. Zapater, S.B. Goodwin, M. Guzm?¡n, G.H.J. Kema and M.T. Souza Jr.
We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most devastating pathogen attacking bananas (Musa spp). Recently, the entire genome se.. Read More»

Identification of neutral genes at pollen sterility loci Sd and Se of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) with wild rice (O. rufipogon) origin
Authors: B. Liu, J.Q. Li, X.D. Liu, M.Q. Shahid, L.G. Shi and Y.G. Lu
Pollen sterility is one of the main hindrances against the utilization of strong intersubspecific (indica-japonica) heterosis in rice. We looked for neutral alleles at known pollen sterility loci Sd and Se that could overcome this pollen sterility characteristic. Taichung 65, a typical japonica cultivar, and its near isogenic ..

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»

The genetic diversity and characteristics of commercial interest of Passiflora species make it useful to characterize wild germplasm, because of their potential use for fruit, ornamental and medicinal purposes. We evaluated genetic diversity, using RAPD markers, of 32 genotypes of Passiflora cincinnata collected from the wild .. Read More»

Association of CAPN1 316, CAPN1 4751 and TG5 markers with bovine meat quality traits in Mexico
Authors: C.A. Bonilla, M.S. Rubio, A.M. Sifuentes, G.M. Parra-Bracamonte, V.W. Arellano, M.R.D. M?©ndez, J.M. Berruecos and R. Ortiz
We examined allele and genotype frequencies for the molecular markers CAPN1 316, CAPN1 4751 and TG5, and determined whether they are associated with beef quality traits in Mexican cattle. One hundred and twenty-four longissimus dorsi muscle samples were collected from cattle from north, central and southern Mexico. CAPN1 316 a.. Read More»

High degree of genetic diversity among genotypes of the forage grass Brachiaria ruziziensis (Poaceae) detected with ISSR markers
Authors: A.L.S. Azevedo, P.P. Costa, M.A. Machado, C.M.P. de Paula and F.S. Sobrinho
The grasses of the genus Brachiaria account for 80% of the cultivated pastures in Brazil. Despite its importance for livestock production, little information is available for breeding purposes. Embrapa has a population of B. ruziziensis from different regions of Brazil, representing most of existing variability. This populatio.. Read More»
