Sexual recombination in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum occurs on a fine scale

Authors: E.A. Souza, O.A. Camargo Jr. and J.M.A. Pinto

Glomerella cingulata f. sp phaseoli is the sexual phase of the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, the causal agent of common bean anthracnose. This fungus is of great concern, because it causes large economic losses in common bean crops. RAPD markers of five populations of G. cingulata f. sp phaseoli from two Brazilian stat.. Read More»

Phylogenetic relationships among Saccharum clones in Pakistan revealed by RAPD markers

Authors: S. Nawaz, F.A. Khan, S. Tabasum, M. Zakria, A. Saeed and M.Z. Iqbal

Forty sugarcane genotypes (clones), including elite lines, commercial cultivars of Saccharum officinarum and S. barberi clones, were fingerprinted with 30 RAPD markers, using a PCR-based marker assay. The genetic distance for RAPD data was determined according to Nei, and relationships between accessions were graphed in a dend.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Brazilian natural populations of Anthonomus grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the major cotton pest in the New World

Authors: Martins WFS, Ayres CFJ and Lucena WA

Twenty-five RAPD loci and 6 isozyme loci were studied to characterize the genetic variability of natural populations of Anthonomus grandis from two agroecosystems of Brazil. The random- amplified polymorphic DNA data disclosed a polymorphism that varied from 52 to 84% and a heterozygosity of 0.189 to 0.347. The index of geneti.. Read More»

Genetic variation of Prochilodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1836) from Paran�¡, Ba�­a, Miranda, and Corumb�¡ rivers, Brazil

Authors: E. Revaldaves, E. Renesto and J.R. Gold

The curimbatá (Prochilodus lineatus) is one of the migratory species in the Paraná River Basin impacted by the construction of dams. Mitochondrial DNA sequences and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments were used to investigate genetic variability and geographic structure of five populations of curimb.. Read More»

Comparisons of DNA marker-based genetic diversity with phenotypic estimates in maize grown in Pakistan

Authors: M.M. Shah, S.W. Hassan, K. Maqbool, I. Shahzadi and A. Pervez

We compared DNA-based genetic diversity estimates with conventional estimates by investigating agronomically important traits in maize grown in the northwestern region of Pakistan. RAPD markers were used to characterize 10 commonly cultivated maize genotypes. The same material was tested for phenotypic variation of quantitativ.. Read More»

Evidence of ecotypic differentiation between populations of the tree species Parapiptadenia rigida due to flooding

Authors: D.C.G. Silva, M.C.C.G. Carvalho, P.M. Ruas, C.F. Ruas and M.E. Medri

The tree species Parapiptadenia rigida, native to southern South America, is frequently used in reforestation of riverbanks in Brazil. This tree is also a source of gums, tannins and essential oils, and it has some medicinal uses. We investigated flooding tolerance and genetic diversity in two populations of P. rigida; one of ..

Genetic linkage between protein and DNA polymorphisms and antioxidant capacity of Cuminum cyminum L. accessions

Authors: E. Abdelhaliem and A.A. Al-Huqail

This study aimed to link the genetic variation observed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis among 11 Cuminum cyminum L. accessions, collected from diverse ecogeographical areas in Saudi Arabia, with their antioxidant capacity to better ..

Biodiversity in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) germplasm of Pakistan

Authors: A. Iqba, B. Sadia, A.I. Khan, F.S. Awan, R.A. Kainth and H.A. Sadaqat

Sorghum ranks fifth in worldwide economic importance among cereal crops and is one of the most important summer annual grasses of Pakistan. As it is a very diverse crop, sorghum genetic fingerprinting requires an efficient marker system. We estimated genetic divergence among 29 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genotypes, including ap..

Determination of the genetic relationships between wild olive (Olea europaea oleaster) varieties grown in the Aegean region

Authors: M. Sesli and E.D. YeÃ?Â?enoÃ?Â?lu

The RAPD technique was used for determining genetic differences between 12 wild-olive varieties grown in the Aegean provinces of Izmir, Mugla, and Manisa in Turkey. Wild olives obtained from the same provinces were included in the same plot. Twenty of 25 operon primers (OP-I 4, OP-I 14, OP-I 15, OP-I 16, OP-I 17, OP-Q1, OP-Q2,.. Read More»

Genetic variation among date plum (Diospyros lotus) genotypes in Turkey

Authors: N. Yildirim, S. Ercisli, G. Agar, E. Orhan and Y. Hizarci

Turkey is one of the most important genetic resources of the date plum, Diospyros lotus, especially in the northeastern part of the country. Authenticating the identity of germplasm resources of D. lotus would be of great value for breeding. We examined the genetic variability of 11 D. lotus genotypes sampled from Coruh Valley..
