Inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity of Iranian yarrow species Achillea santolina and Achillea tenuifolia based on ISSR and RAPD markers
Authors: M. Ebrahimi M. Farajpour M. Rahimmalek
Cultivation and preservation of yarrow has recently attracted wide attention due to its beneficial properties; however, genetic variation of Achillea species is still relatively unknown. We used RAPD and ISSR markers to assess genetic diversity in 16 accessions of yarrow belonging to two species native to Iran. Seven ISSR and nine RAPD primers generated 1.. Read More»

Diversity and genetic stability in banana genotypes in a breeding program using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers
Authors: A.V.C. Silva, A.L.S. Nascimento, M.F. Vit�³ria, A.R.C. Rabbani, A.N.R. Soares and A.S. L�©do
Banana (Musa spp) is a fruit species frequently cultivated and consumed worldwide. Molecular markers are important for estimating genetic diversity in germplasm and between genotypes in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of 21 banana genotypes (FHIA 23, PA42-44, Maç&atild.. Read More»

Relationship between Psidium species (Myrtaceae) by resistance gene analog markers: focus on nematode resistance
Authors: L.R. Noia, A.C. Tuler, A. Ferreira, M.F.S. Ferreira
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) crop is severely affected by the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii. Native Psidium species have been reported as sources of resistance against this nematode. Knowledge on the molecular relationship between Psidium species based on plant resistance gene analogs (RGA) can be useful in the genetic breedi.. Read More»

Genetic relationships among five varieties of Curcuma alismatifolia (Zingiberaceae) based on ISSR markers
Authors: S. Taheri T.L. Abdullah N.A.P. Abdullah Z. Ahmad
The genus Curcuma is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that has recently become popular for use as flowering pot plants, both indoors and as patio and landscape plants. We used PCR-based molecular markers (ISSRs) to assess genetic variation and relationships between five varieties of curcuma (Curcuma alismatifolia) cultivated in Malaysia. Sixteen.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Lagerstroemia (Lythraceae) species assessed by simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: D. He Y. Liu M. Cai H.T. Pan Q.X. Zhang X.Y. Wang X.J. Wang
Lagerstroemia (crape myrtle) are famous ornamental plants with large pyramidal racemes, long flower duration, and diverse colors. However, little is known about the genetic structure and diversity of germplasm in Lagerstroemia. We genotyped 81 L. indica cultivars, five other species of Lagerstroemia, and 10 interspecific hybrids using 30 simple sequence repe.. Read More»

Identification of earl millet cultivars using both microsatellites and enzymatic markers
Authors: R.P. Mendon�§a Neto E.V.R. Von Pinho B.L. Carvalho G.S. Pereira
The increasing number of protected and registered cultivars and problems involving seed commercialization make distinction and identification of cultivars imperative. Millet (Pennisetum glaucum), a crop species with protected cultivars in Brazil, has been the target of seed piracy. Thus, with the objective of identifying different lots with regard to origin,..

Characterization of Chinese eggplant isolates of the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae from different geographic origins
Authors: Z. Xu Z. Ali X. Hou H. Li J.X. Yi P.A. Abbasi
Verticillium dahliae is a fungal pathogen that causes wilt disease in a wide range of host plants. Characterization of virulence, morphological, and molecular variations among V. dahliae isolates from different geographic origins is essential for any breeding program aimed at producing plant cultivars resistant to this disease. We characterized virulence var.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis in Opal cotton hybrids based on SSR, ISSR, and RAPD markers
Authors: Z. Noormohammadi Y. Hasheminejad-Ahangarani Farahani M. Sheidai S. Ghasemzadeh-Baraki O. Alishah
Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in Iran; hybridization is a means to increase the genetic diversity and obtain new elite cultivars in this crop. We examined agronomic characteristics and molecular genetic diversity in the Opal cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar and in F2 progenies. Ten homo-primers and seven hetero-primers of 26 RAPD..

Validation of EST-derived microsatellite markers for two Cerrado-endemic Campomanesia (Myrtaceae) species
Authors: E.A.G.C. Miranda1, C.R.D. Boaventura-Novaes2, R.S. Braga1, E.F. Reis3,J.F.N. Pinto3 and M.P.C. Telles1
We assessed the transferability of 120 EST-derived Eucalyptus microsatellite primers to Campomanesia adamantium and C. pubescens. Both species are berry trees native to the Brazilian Cerrado, and population genetic information is poor. Twelve markers were used to analyze the genetic variability of four sampled populations. Regarding DNA extraction, we sam.. Read More»
