Genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) revealed by mapped SSRs
Authors: X.Q. Wang, C.H. Feng, Z.X. Lin and X.L. Zhang
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense), 237 commonly mapped SSR markers covering the cotton genome were used to genotype 56 sea-island cotton accessions. A total of 218 polymorphic primer pairs (91.98%) amplified 361 loci, with a mean of 1.66 loci. Polymorphism information conten.. Read More»

A new method of QTL identification for undersaturated maps
Authors: A.K.A. Pamplona, M. Balestre, L.A.C. Lara, J.B. Santos and J.S.S. Bueno Filho
In many species, low levels of polymorphism prevent the assembly of linkage maps that are used to identify genetic markers related to the expression of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). This study compared two methods of locating QTLs in association studies that do not require a previous estimation of linkage maps. Method I (MI) was a Bayesian multiple mark.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of Calocedrus rupestris Aver., H.T. Nguyen & L.K. Phan, 2008 (Cupressaceae) based on ITS1 partial sequence
Authors: P.K. Long, N.T.P. Trang, L.V. Averyanov and P.K. Loc
Calocedrus rupestris Aver., H.T. Nguyen & L.K. Phan was described in 2008 based on some morphological characters that were not sufficiently significant to discriminate it as a species distinct from C. macrolepis Kurz. We applied a new approach to resolve these conflicting views by using sequence data from DNA (ITS) to eluc.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of eggplant (Solanum melongena) germplasm from Turkey assessed by SSR and RAPD markers
Authors: K. Demir, M. Bak�±r, G. Sar�±kam�±�� and S. Acunalp
Eggplant is a major crop in Turkey, which produces more of this crop than all of Europe; consequently, germplasm resources are of concern for the country. Molecular characterization of eggplant genotypes collected from different geographical regions of Turkey was carried out using SSR and RAPD markers. With amplification of fi.. Read More»

Genetic linkage map of Cucurbita maxima with molecular and morphological markers
Authors: Y. Ge, X. Li, X.X. Yang, C.S. Cui and S.P. Qu
Cucurbita maxima is one of the most widely cultivated vegetables in China and exhibits distinct morphological characteristics. In this study, genetic linkage analysis with 57 simple-sequence repeats, 21 amplified fragment length polymorphisms, 3 random-amplified polymorphic DNA, and one morphological marker revealed 20 genetic linkage groups of C. maxima ..

Genetic relationships among and within wild and cultivated olives based on RAPDs
Authors: M. Sesli and E.D. YeÃ?Â?enoÃ?Â?lu
We examined genetic relationships among wild and cultivated olives, which is a very important crop in the economy of the Aegean region. We used RAPD analysis to evaluate relationships among and within 22 olive subspecies from Manisa, Mugla and Izmir provinces in Turkey. Twelve of the subspecies were wild and 10 were cultivated..

AFLP markers for identification of Swertia species (Gentianaceae)
Authors: A. Misra, A.K. Shasany, A.K. Shukla, M.P. Darokar, S.C. Singh, V. Sundaresan, J. Singh, G.D. Bagchi, S.P. Jain1, D. Saikia and S.P.S. Khanuja
The genus Swertia is well known for its medicinal properties, as described in the Indian pharmacopoeia. Different members of this genus, although somewhat similar in morphology, differ widely in their pharmacological and therapeutic properties. The most important species of this genus, with maximal therapeutic properties, is S.. Read More»

Potential of hypocotyl diameter in family selection aiming at plant architecture improvement of common bean
Authors: A.M.C. Oliveira, R.O. Batista, P.C.S. Carneiro, J.E.S. Carneiro and C.D. Cruz
Cultivars of common bean with more erect plant architecture and greater tolerance to degree of lodging are required by producers. Thus, to evaluate the potential of hypocotyl diameter (HD) in family selection for plant architecture improvement of common bean, the HDs of 32 F2 plants were measured in 3 distinct populations, and the characteristics related ..

Genetic diversity of worldwide Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) germplasm as revealed by RAPD markers
Authors: P.P. Wangsomnuk, S. Khampa, P. Wangsomnuk, S. Jogloy, T. Mornkham, B. Ruttawat, A. Patanothai and Y.B. Fu
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) is a wild relative of the cultivated sunflower (H. annuus); it is an old tuber crop that has recently received renewed interest. We used RAPD markers to characterize 147 Jerusalem artichoke accessions from nine countries. Thirty RAPD primers were screened; 13 of them detected 357 repr.. Read More»

RAPD analysis of the genetic diversity of mango (Mangifera indica) germplasm in Brazil
Authors: I.G.B. Souza, S.E.S. Valente, F.B. Britto, V.A.B. de Souza and P.S.C. Lima
We evaluated genetic variability of mango (Mangifera indica) accessions maintained in the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Meio-Norte in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, using RAPDs. Among these accessions, 35 originated from plantings in Brazil, six from the USA and one from India. Genomic DNA, extracted from leaf material usi.. Read More»
