RAPD assay of wild-type olives in Turkey

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

Genetic similarities and distances between wild-type olives in Turkey were studied using an RAPD-PCR assay. Seven wild olive tree samples were collected from villages in Manisa and Izmir provinces. Genomic DNA was extracted from young leaves and the RAPD-PCR assay was used to generate RAPD markers. Sixty-five random primers ob.. Read More»

Genetic variability of Mahanarva sp (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) collected from different sites in Brazil

Authors: A.M. Auad, R. Domingues, M.A. Machado, L.S. Souza, G.S. Carvalho and S.V. Paula-Moraes

Spittlebugs are the leading cause of damage to tall grasses. Annual losses are estimated to reach 2.1 billion dollars in sugarcane crops and grazing land throughout the world. Correct identification of these species is difficult due to similarities in color, body size and male genitalia. Molecular markers have been useful in t.. Read More»

Genetic relationships among turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) genotypes

Authors: E. Yildirim, N. Yildirim, S. Ercisli, G. Agar and H. Karlidag

Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) is one of the main vegetables consumed by people living in Eastern Anatolia in Turkey. In this region, farmers obtain their own seeds for production, which results in considerable morphological variability. We examined the genetic variation and relationships among 11 turnip genotypes sampled fr.. Read More»

Conservation implications of the genetic diversity of Gymnospermium microrrhynchum in Korea

Authors: S.H. Lee, M.H. Yeon and J.K. Shim

Gymnospermium microrrhynchum (Berberidaceae) is an ephemeral perennial herb with a limited distributional range in the Baekdudaegan mountain areas of the Korean Peninsula, and is designated a rare plant by the Korean Forest Service. Information about its genetic variation and structure is important for developing successful co.. Read More»

Genetic characterization and authentication of Dimocarpus longan Lour. using an improved RAPD technique

Authors: Z.Q. Mei, S.Y. Fu, H.Q. Yu1, L.Q. Yang, C.G. Duan, X.Y. Liu, S. Gong1 and J.J. Fu

Dimocarpus longan Lour. is an edible and traditional herb in China, commonly referred to as longon. An improved randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) protocol was here developed in order to determine the geographical origins of D. longan samples collected from 5 provinces in the southern and southwestern areas of China, in..

Fine-scale genetic structure patterns in two freshwater fish species, Geophagus brasiliensis (Osteichthyes, Cichlidae) and Astyanax altiparanae (Osteichthyes, Characidae) throughout a Neotropical stream

Authors: D.G. Ferreira1, S.C. Lima3, W. Frantine-Silva3, J.F. Silva1, C. Apolin�¡rio-Silva3, S.H. Sofia3, S. Carvalho2 and B.A. Galindo1

Streams are very important environments for Neotropical freshwater fish fauna, and possess a high number of species. These small drainages are also highlighted by their intrinsic biological and physicochemical features; however, knowledge on the genetic distribution of fish in these drainages is limited. Therefore, in the pres.. Read More»

RAPD and ISSR markers in the evaluation of genetic divergence among accessions of elephant grass

Authors: R.S.N de Lima, R.F. Daher, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, D.A. Rossi, A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior, M.G. Pereira and F.J.S. L�©do

Considering the expected genetic variability of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum), due to its cultivation in different continents, we characterized and estimated the genetic divergences between 46 accessions of elephant grass with different edaphoclimatic adaptations, using RAPD and ISSR markers. We evaluated, comparativel.. Read More»

Efficacy of random primer-pair arrays in plant genome analysis: a case study of Cucumis (Cucurbitaceae) for identification of wild and cultivated species

Authors: E.M. Gatphoh, S.K. Sharma, K. Rajkumari and S. Rama Rao

The efficacy of random primer-pair arrays compared to conventional RAPD method with a single decamer primer was evaluated using DNA from two species of Cucumis. The banding patterns of amplicons revealed enhanced utility of primer-pair arrays over conventional RAPDs, producing more bands and a higher degree of polymorphism, bo.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the fish Coilia mystus (Clupeiformes: Engraulidae) using PCR-based isolation of microsatellite arrays

Authors: J.-Q. Yang, X.-D. Zhou, D. Liu, Z.-Z. Liu and W.-Q. Tang

Coilia mystus is the most important harvested fish species in China; it inhabits quite different water environments during the different life history stages. Populations of C. mystus have dropped sharply due to overharvesting and water pollution. We developed eight microsatellite loci in C. mystus for conservation genetics stu.. Read More»

The use of RAPD to characterize Bipolaris sorokiniana isolates

Authors: Maria Viviane Gomes M�¼ller, Jos�© Carlos Germani and Sueli Teresinha Van Der Sand

Bipolaris sorokiniana is a phytopathogenic fungus causing diseases of cereal crops such as common root rot, the leaf spot disease, seedling blight, and black point of the grain. Random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay was used to investigate the genetic diversity of 20 isolates collected from different cultivars in wheat.. Read More»
