Genetic diversity among Zygophyllum (Zygophyllaceae) populations based on RAPD analysis
Authors: I. Hammad and S.H. Qari
Zygophyllum species are succulent plants that are drought resistant and/or salt tolerant, growing under severe, dry climatic conditions. Despite their importance and abundance in the Mediterranean and Middle East regions, there is little information concerning molecular variations among species of this genus. Genetic diversity..

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 differences between strains of Biomphalaria glabrata (Planorbidae) that are susceptible and unsusceptible to schistosomiasis
Authors: A.L.D. Oliveira, D. Da Silva, B.C. Manzano, A.Z. Abdel-Hamid, M.Y. Marcelino, E.M. Zanotti-Magalh�£es, L.A. Magalh�£es and J.T. Ribeiro-Paes
Despite the implementation control programs, schistosomiasis continues to spread throughout the world. Among modern control strategies, vector control is currently being emphasized. Within this context, analysis of the genetic variability of intermediate host snails (Biomphalaria spp) is important because it allows identificat.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of eggplant (Solanum melongena) germplasm from Turkey assessed by SSR and RAPD markers
Authors: K. Demir, M. Bak�±r, G. Sar�±kam�±�� and S. Acunalp
Eggplant is a major crop in Turkey, which produces more of this crop than all of Europe; consequently, germplasm resources are of concern for the country. Molecular characterization of eggplant genotypes collected from different geographical regions of Turkey was carried out using SSR and RAPD markers. With amplification of fi.. Read More»

Anastomosis groups and molecular variation in Pseudocercospora griseola
Authors: K.J. Damasceno-Silva, E.A. Souza, C.N.S. Freire and F.H. Ishikawa
The fungus Pseudocercospora griseola is the causal agent of angular leaf spot, a common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) disease. The successful development of angular leaf spot-resistant cultivars depends on understanding the levels of variability in pathogen populations. P. griseola shows great pathogenic and genetic variation using inoculation on different.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of worldwide Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) germplasm as revealed by RAPD markers
Authors: P.P. Wangsomnuk, S. Khampa, P. Wangsomnuk, S. Jogloy, T. Mornkham, B. Ruttawat, A. Patanothai and Y.B. Fu
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) is a wild relative of the cultivated sunflower (H. annuus); it is an old tuber crop that has recently received renewed interest. We used RAPD markers to characterize 147 Jerusalem artichoke accessions from nine countries. Thirty RAPD primers were screened; 13 of them detected 357 repr.. Read More»

Evaluation of genotoxicity of Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf by RAPD analysis
Authors: S. Aras, T. Beyazta��, D. Cansaran-Duman and E. G�¶k�§e-G�¼nd�¼zer
We investigated the suitability and applicability of Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf for environmental genotoxicity assessment. P. furfuracea lichen specimens were collected from 10 different Pinus species, in every 5 km, starting from around an iron-steel factory located in the central area of Karabük Province up to Ye..

Population genetic structure of the tropical tree species Aegiphila sellowiana (Lamiaceae)
Authors: C. Medri, E.A. Ruas, C.F. Ruas, P.S. Medri, M.E. Medri and P.M. Ruas
The Tibagi River, located in southern Brazil, is associated with a significant degree of environmental heterogeneity, along its 550 km extension. There is concern about the integrity of this river’s ecosystem, as human interference has been increasing. Aegiphila sellowiana (Lamiaceae) is an important pioneer tree species.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in Tunisian populations of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) based on morphological traits and molecular markers
Authors: I.Z. Backouchi, M. Aouida, N. Khemiri and M. Jebara
Genetic diversity within Vicia faba L. is key to the genetic improvement of this important species. In this study, morphological traits and RAPD molecular markers were used to assess the levels of polymorphism across 12 Tunisian populations, three major and nine minor from different locations. Analysis of morphological traits indicated that the three majo.. Read More»
