Authors: A. Koc, M. Akbulut, E. Orhan, Z. Celik, S. Bilgener and S. Ercisli
Two local (Vezir-1 and Vezir-2) and two standard (M9 and MM106) clonal apple rootstocks were compared using both morphological and molecular markers. International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants criteria were used for morphological evaluation, which did not clearly separate these rootstocks. We tested 47 r.. Read More»

Phenotypic diversity of starch granules in cassava germplasm
Authors: L.M. Vasconcelos, A.C. Brito, C.D. Carmo, P.H.G.A. Oliveira and E.J. Oliveira
Demand for the development of cassava varieties with different native starches has guided the search for these characteristics in the germplasm of Manihot esculenta Crantz. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity of cassava accessions for root and starch granule characteristics to guide the.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and relationships among different tomato varieties revealed by EST-SSR markers
Authors: N.K. Korir, W. Diao, R. Tao, X. Li, E. Kayesh, A. Li, W. Zhen and S. Wang
The genetic diversity and relationship of 42 tomato varieties sourced from different geographic regions was examined with EST-SSR markers. The genetic diversity was between 0.18 and 0.77, with a mean of 0.49; the polymorphic information content ranged from 0.17 to 0.74, with a mean of 0.45. This indicates a fairly high degree ..

Genetic diversity of Bromeliaceae species from the Atlantic Forest
Authors: Y. Sheu, A.S. Cunha-Machado, A.B.P.L. Gontijo, F.C. Favoreto,T.C.B. Soares and F.D. Miranda
The Bromeliaceae family includes a range of species used for many purposes, including ornamental use and use as food, medicine, feed, and fiber. The state of Espírito Santo, Brazil is a center of diversity for this family in the Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the genetic diversity of five populations of the Bromeliaceae .. Read More»

Genetic bottlenecks in Turkish okra germplasm and utility of iPBS retrotransposon markers for genetic diversity assessment
Authors: M. Y�±ld�±z, M. Ko�§ak and F.S. Baloch
Lack of requisite genetic variation in Turkish okra has necessitated the use of different types of markers for estimating the genetic diversity and identifying the source of variation. Transposable elements, present abundantly in plant genomes, generate genomic diversity through their replication and are thus an excellent source of molecular markers. We h.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of wild Dipsacus asperoides in China as indicated by ISSR markers
Authors: D.X. Chen, L.Y. Li, X. Zhang, Y. Wang and Z. Zhang
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity and genetic structure of wild Dipsacus asperoides, we surveyed genetic polymorphisms in 288 individuals from 12 populations using ISSR. A total of 240 bands were amplified, among which 190 were polymorphic loci. At the species level, genetic diversity was found to be abundant: PPB.. Read More»

Development of EST-SSR markers related to disease resistance and their application in genetic diversity and evolution analysis in Gossypium
Authors: B.H. Wang, P. Rong, X.X. Cai, W. Wang, X.Y. Zhu, C.J. Chen, Y.Y. Xu, X.J. Huang, Z.M. Zhuang and C.B. Wang
Cotton (Gossypium spp) is one of the most economically important crops that provide the world’s most widely used natural fiber. Diseases such as Fusarium wilt and particularly Verticillium wilt seriously affect cotton production, and thus breeding for disease resistance is one of the most important goals of cotton breeding programs. Currently, poten.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis using novel microsatellite markers with cross-species transferability
Authors: D.J. Lei, G. Zhao, P. Xie, Y. Li, H. Yuan, M. Zou, J.G. Niu and X.F. Ma
We used next-generation sequencing technology to characterize 19 genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 11 expressed sequence tag (EST) SSR markers from Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis, a small freshwater fish that is widely distributed in Xinjiang, China. Primers were used to test for polymorphisms in three L. leuci.. Read More»

Diversity of plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with sugarcane
Authors: J.E.L. Antunes, M.C.C.P. Lyra, F.J. Ollero, A.D.S. Freitas, L.M.S. Oliveira, A.S.F. Ara�ºjo and M.V.B. Figueiredo
The sugarcane (Saccharum spp) presents economic importance, mainly for tropical regions, being an important Brazilian commodity. However, this crop is strongly dependent on fertilizers, mainly nitrogen (N). This study assessed the plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) associated with sugarcane that could be used as a potentia.. Read More»

Genetic differentiation between natural and hatchery populations of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) based on microsatellite markers
Authors: K. Xing, M.L. Gao and H.J. Li
Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is one of the major aquaculture species around the world and supports an important segment of the aquaculture industry in China. In this study, we used ten microsatellite markers to detect genetic diversity within six R. philippinarum populations and genetic differentiation between them. A.. Read More»
