Authors: E.A. Ruas, C.F. Ruas, P.S. Medri, C. Medri, M.E. Medri, E. Bianchini, J.A. Pimenta, L.A. Rodrigues and P.M. Ruas
Knowledge of the effects of flooding on plant survival is relevant for the efficiency of management and conservation programs. Schinus terebinthifolius is a tree of economic and ecological importance that is common in northeast Brazil. Flooding tolerance and genetic variation were investigated in two riparian populations of S... Read More»

DNA variation and polymorphism in Tunisian plum species (Prunus spp): contribution of flow cytometry and molecular markers
Authors: H. Ben Tamarzizt, D. Walker, S. Ben Mustapha, D. Abdallah, G. Baraket, A. Salhi Hannachi and S. Zehdi Azzouzi
Plums (Prunus spp) are among the most important stone fruit crops in the world. European (Prunus domestica) and Japanese (Prunus salicina) plums are characterized by different levels of ploidy. Because genetic variability is the prerequisite for any plant-breeding program, we aimed to establish the taxonomic status of Tunisian plums and study their geneti.. Read More»

Genetic relationships among wild pomegranate (Punica granatum genotypes from Coruh Valley in Turkey
Authors: S. Ercisli, J. Gadze, G. Agar, N. Yildirim and Y. Hizarci
The pomegranate has been used traditionally in Coruh Valley in Turkey for a long time; fruits are harvested from wild, semi-domesticated and cultivated trees. In the valley, it occurs in general along with olive trees. We sampled 23 wild-grown pomegranate genotypes sampled from different parts of Coruh Valley and compared them.. Read More»

Determination of genetic variation among chickpea genotypes and their F1 crosses with RAPD markers
Authors: K. Mahmood, W. Nazeer, M. Naeem, S. Freed, M.A. Khan, G. Abbas, M. Iqbal, A.R. Kulachi, S.A. Sajid, M.A. Sadiq and M. Saleem
The intensity of genetic diversity amongst chickpea genotypes and their crosses is unknown. The current study investigated the genetic diversity of chickpea genotypes and their F1 crosses by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. We assessed the variation among 6 chickpea genotypes and 15 F1 crosses with the RAPD markers. The 6 parents and.. Read More»

Genetic relatedness of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) hybrids using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting
Authors: M.A. Sharaf-Eldin, A. Al-Tamimi, P. Alam, S.F. Elkholy and J.R. Jordan
The artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is an important food and medicinal crop that is cultivated in Mediterranean countries. Morphological characteristics, such as head shape and diameter, leaf shape, and bract shape, are mainly affected by environmental conditions. A molecular marker approach was used to analyze the degree of polymorphism between artichoke .. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis in Tunisian perennial ryegrass germplasm as estimated by RAPD, ISSR, and morpho-agronomical markers
Authors: S. Ghariani, H. Elazreg, N. Chtourou-Ghorbel, M. Chakroun and N. Trifi-Farah
Tunisia is rich in diverse forage and pasture species including perennial ryegrass. In order to enhance forage production and improve agronomic performance of this local germplasm, a molecular analysis was undertaken. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and morpho-agronomical traits markers were used for genetic d.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of five sedentary fish species in middle Laranjinha River (upper Paran?¡ River basin): A case study
Authors: W. Frantine-Silva, D.G. Ferreira, R.H.C. Nascimento, J.F. Fracasso, J.E. Conte, F.P. Ramos, S. Carvalho and B.A. Galindo
Most studies of diversity and genetic structure in neotropical fish have focused on commercial species from large rivers or their reservoirs. However, smaller tributaries have been identified as an important alternative migratory route, with independent pools of genetic diversity. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate genetic diversity and .. Read More»

Authors: E. Abdelhaliem and A.A. Al-Huqail
This study was designed to compare the genetic effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3), alone or in combination, under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions on proteins and DNA of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), isozymes, random amplified poly.. Read More»

Authors: M.F.V. Melo, L.O. Gon?§alves, A.R.C. Rabbani, S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho, J.B. Pinheiro, M.I. Zucchi and R. Silva-Mann
The goal of this study was to characterize the structure of two natural populations of the coral tree using RAPD and ISSR markers. The study evaluated all individuals in two different areas in the northeastern region of Brazil: the first was in the riparian area, 10 km x 100 m along the edge of the lower São Francisco River, and the second was in t..
