Complete chloroplast genome sequence of cultivated Morus L. species
Authors: Q.L. Li, J.Z. Guo, N. Yan and C.C. Li
The complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of two cultivated species of Morus L. (Morus atropurpurea and Morus multicaulis) are reported and reconstructed in this study, and were compared with that of wild Morus mongolica. In M. atropurpurea, the circular genome is 159,113 bp in size and comprises two identical inverted.. Read More»

Amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis of grapevine rootstock genotypes in Turkey
Authors: A. Erg�¼l, S. Aras and G. S�¶ylemezo��lu
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was used to assess genetic relationships among 20 grapevine rootstocks in Turkey. Discrimination of the rootstocks with 10 primer combinations yielded 1366 bands on AFLP gels; 65% of them were polymorphic. The rootstocks revealed two main clusters; one of them comprised t..

Establishment of the genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) technique for analysis in interspecific hybrids of Passiflora
Authors: C.A.F. Melo, G.S. Silva and M.M. Souza
The genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) technique was applied to Passiflora interspecific F1 HD13-133 hybrids (Passiflora sublanceolata x Passiflora foetida) and HD15-101 (Passiflora gardineri x Passiflora gibertii), and the backcrossed hybrids (BC1) HD18-106 and HD18-113 (Passiflora sublanceolata x HD13-133). GISH was performed using genomic probes prep.. Read More»

Genetic variation among date plum (Diospyros lotus) genotypes in Turkey
Authors: N. Yildirim, S. Ercisli, G. Agar, E. Orhan and Y. Hizarci
Turkey is one of the most important genetic resources of the date plum, Diospyros lotus, especially in the northeastern part of the country. Authenticating the identity of germplasm resources of D. lotus would be of great value for breeding. We examined the genetic variability of 11 D. lotus genotypes sampled from Coruh Valley..

Genetic variability analysis of Byrsonima crassifolia germplasm collected in Par�¡ State using ISSR markers
Authors: S.M. Rodrigues, E.F. Moura, G.K.S. Ramos and M.S.P. Oliveira
Native of the Amazon, the nanche (Byrsonima crassifolia) is a fruit cultivated by family farmers and used in cooking; as such, it represents an opportunity for regional agribusiness. The Embrapa Eastern Amazon set up an active germplasm bank (BAG) consisting of 22 accessions sampled in 11 municipalities of Pará State. D.. Read More»

Characterization of a TIR-NBS-LRR gene associated with downy mildew resistance in grape
Authors: J.J. Fan, P. Wang, X. Xu, K. Liu, Y.Y. Ruan, Y.S. Zhu1, Z.H. Cui and L.J. Zhang
Grapevine downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola, is a devastating disease that results in considerable economic losses as well as environmental damage through the repeated application of fungicides. The nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat gene family functions in plant immunoactivity against various pathogens and pests. In this study, the 5'.. Read More»

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»
