Genetic characterization of heat tolerant tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes by SRAP and RAPD markers
Authors: N. Comlekcioglu, O. Simsek, M. Boncuk and Y. Aka-Kacar
We employed RAPD and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate polymorphisms in 15 tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes that were obtained from a tomato breeding program. Four local tomato genotypes selected from the Sanliurfa province (Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey), 10 heat-tolerant tomat.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of Stipa bungeana, an endemic species in Loess Plateau of China, revealed using combined ISSR and SRAP markers
Authors: J. Yu, Z.B. Jing and J.M. Cheng
Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity within and among 15 natural populations of Stipa bungeana from the Loess Plateau of China. Using 15 SRAP primers, 504 (99.80%) polymorphic loci were detected, and 372 polymorphic loci (96.12%.. Read More»

Transposable elements in Phyllostachys pubescens (Poaceae) genome survey sequences and the full-length cDNA sequences, and their association with simple-sequence repeats
Authors: M.B. Zhou, X.M. Liu, and D.Q. Tang
Phyllostachys pubescens is a woody bamboo with the highest ecological, economic, and cultural values of all bamboos in Asia. There is more genomic data available for P. pubescens than for any other bamboo species, including 2.12-Mb genome survey sequences (GSS) and 11.4-Mb full-length cDNA sequences (FL-cDNAs) currently deposi..

Comparison of similarity coefficients used for cluster analysis based on RAPD markers in wild olives
Authors: M. Sesli and E.D. Yegenoglu
Five different similarity coefficients (Jaccard, Sorensen-Dice, simple matching, Rogers and Tanimoto, and Russel and Rao) were evaluated and 10 wild olives analyzed with RAPD markers. The influence of the similarity coefficients on wild olives clustering was investigated. Forty-five primers were used on samples from 10 wild ol.. Read More»

Variable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp)
Authors: S.A.L. Garcia*, T.A.J. Van der Lee*, C.F. Ferreira*, B. Te Lintel Hekkert, M.-F. Zapater, S.B. Goodwin, M. Guzm�¡n, G.H.J. Kema and M.T. Souza Jr.
We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most devastating pathogen attacking bananas (Musa spp). Recently, the entire genome se.. Read More»

Characterization of chloroplast region rrn16-rrn23S from the tropical timber tree Cedrela odorata L. and de novo construction of a transplastomic expression vector suitable for Meliaceae trees and other economically important crops
Authors: L.A. LÃ?³pez-Ochoa, M.M. Apolinar-HernÃ?¡ndez and Y.J. PeÃ?±a-RamÃ?Ârez
The forest tree Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata L.) is well-known for its high-value timber; however, this species is attacked by the shoot borer (Hypsipyla grandella) during its early years of development, resulting in branched stems and making the plants useless for high-quality wood production. The generation of resistant varieties expressing entomotoxi.. Read More»

Unraveling systematic inventory of Echinops (Asteraceae) with special reference to nrDNA ITS sequence-based molecular typing of Echinops abuzinadianus
Authors: M.A. Ali, F.M. Al-Hemaid, J. Lee, A.A. Hatamleh, G. Gyulai and M.O. Rahman
The present study explored the systematic inventory of Echinops L. (Asteraceae) of Saudi Arabia, with special reference to the molecular typing of Echinops abuzinadianus Chaudhary, an endemic species to Saudi Arabia, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA. A sequence .. Read More»

Molecular and morphological characterization of local apple cultivars in Southern Spain
Authors: L.F. P�©rez-Romero, M.P. Su�¡rez, E. Dapena and P. Rallo
The number of local and traditional fruit cultivars in Andalusia (Southern Spain) has decreased dramatically since the 1970s when new commercial cultivars from breeding programs were introduced, replacing old varieties, and thus decreasing genetic diversity. The present study was included in a genetic resources project with the objective of identifying and p.. Read More»

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is considered to be the main pathogen in PC-associated diseases, and significantly affects the global pig-producing industry. PCV2 continuously evolves by point mutations and genome recombinations. In the present study, we aimed to further identify recombinant PCV2 strains. We used polymerase c.. Read More»
