A comparative genetic diversity assessment of industrial and household Brazilian cassava varieties using SSR markers

Assessment of genetic diversity in Brazilian barley using SSR markers.

Barley is a major cereal grown widely and used in several food products, beverage production and animal fodder. Genetic diversity is a key component in breeding programs. We have analyzed the genetic diversity of barley accessions using microsatellite markers. The accessions were composed of wild and domesticated barley representing genotypes from six countries and three breeding programs in Br...

Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Croatian Winter Wheat Varieties Using Ssr and Aflp Markers

Genetic diversity relies on very complex statistical approach that involves variance among alleles at single gene loci, among several loci, between individuals within population and among populations (Smale, 1997). Nevertheless genetic base of crop plants population is also associated with responses to selection pressures. So plant breeding is based on detection and application of genetic varia...

Comparative assessment of genetic diversity in Sesamum indicum L. using RAPD and SSR markers

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop known for its nutty seeds and high-quality edible oil. It is an unexplored crop with a great economic potential. The present study deals with assessment of genetic diversity in the crop. Twenty two RAPD and 18 SSR primers were used for analysis of the 47 different sesame accessions grown in different agroclimatic zones of India. A total of ...

Comparative Analyses of the Genetic Diversity Among Bread Wheat Genotypes Based on RAPD and SSR Markers

Evaluation of genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium in Korean-bred rice varieties using SSR markers

Background: In order to evaluate the variation among different rice types, the genetic diversity in a rice collection composed by 59 breeding lines, 23 landraces, 18 weedy rice lines, and 35 introduced lines that collected from countries worldwide was analyzed using 134 simple sequence repeat markers. Results: In total, 1264 alleles were identified (average, 9.43 per locus). Rare alleles made u...
