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»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Tunisian pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers
Authors: K. Guenni, M. Aouadi, K. Chatti and A. Salhi-Hannachi
Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers preferentially amplify open reading frames and were used to study the genetic diversity of Tunisian pistachio. In the present study, 43 Pistacia vera accessions were screened using seven SRAP primer pairs. A total of 78 markers was revealed (95.12%) with an average polymor.. Read More»

Population structure analysis and association mapping of blast resistance in indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) landraces
Authors: Y.Y. Wu, J.B. He, A.H. Li, N.Y. Fang, W.W. He, L.L. Dang, G.Y. Zeng, J. Huang, Y.M. Bao and H.S. Zhang
Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide. To understand the genetic diversity of indica landrace accessions and identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers that are associated with blast resistance, a population of 276 indica landraces from across the world was constructed. This population was then u.. Read More»

Sampling strategies for natural Toona ciliata populations
Authors: J. Liu and J.M. Jiang
The genetic diversity and spatial autocorrelation of Toona ciliata populations were analyzed with eight microsatellite markers to determine an appropriate sampling strategy for the effective conservation of natural T. ciliata populations. The average number of alleles and effective number of alleles were 6.1 and 2.7, respectiv.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel EST-SSR markers and their application for genetic diversity analysis of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.)
Authors: T. Mornkham, P.P. Wangsomnuk, X.C. Mo, F.O. Francisco, L.Z. Gao and H. Kurzweil
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is a perennial tuberous plant and a traditional inulin-rich crop in Thailand. It has become the most important source of inulin and has great potential for use in chemical and food industries. In this study, expressed sequence tag (EST)-based simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers we.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, an endangered medicinal plant in China
Authors: J. Yu, Y. Wang, L. Peng, M. Ru and Z.S. Liang
Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, one of the tertiary relict species found only in China, is the only extant species of Eucommiaceae. Using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers, we studied the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of 187 accessions from 17 E. ulmoides populations throughout it..

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»

Correlation analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of Houttuynia cordata Thunb with regard to environment
Authors: J. Zhong, F.-C. Wu, P. Qiu and L.-J. Dai
To study the levels of genetic diversity, and population structure, of Houttuynia cordata Thunb, the genetic background and relationships of populations were analyzed in terms of environmental factors. The genetic diversity and population structure of H. cordata were investigated using sequence-related amplified polymorphisms and correlation with environm.. Read More»

Characterization of novel expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat markers and analysis of genetic diversity in four geographic populations of Thais luteostoma
Authors: W. Li, H.F. Jiao, Z.H. Lin, Y.B. Bao
In this study, the genetic diversity in four geographic populations (Yushan Island, Zhoushan, Wenzhou, and Xiamen) of Thais luteostoma was analyzed using 21 microsatellite loci. The results of this study showed that the alleles obtained from different populations ranged from 2 to 8. The average number of alleles and effective .. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci from aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera L.)
Authors: Q.Q. Yan, Y. Li, X.Q. Sun, J.L. Guo, Y.Y. Hang and M.M. Li
Dioscorea bulbifera L. is widely distributed in pantropical regions along the equator. The taxonomic treatment of this species is ambiguous due to its extreme polymorphic morphological characters. In order to provide tools to facilitate the study of genetic diversity, population structure, patterns of gene flow, and the mating.. Read More»
