Genetic Diversity within Chinese Watermelon Ecotypes Compared with Germplasm from Other Countries

Genetic Analysis of Diversity within a Chinese Local Sugarcane Germplasm Based on Start Codon Targeted Polymorphism

In-depth information on sugarcane germplasm is the basis for its conservation and utilization. Data on sugarcane molecular markers are limited for the Chinese sugarcane germplasm collections. In the present study, 20 start codon targeted (SCoT) marker primers were designed to assess the genetic diversity among 107 sugarcane accessions within a local sugarcane germplasm collection. These primers...

Genetic Diversity and Molecular Evolution of Chinese Waxy Maize Germplasm

Waxy maize (Zea mays L. var. certaina Kulesh), with many excellent characters in terms of starch composition and economic value, has grown in China for a long history and its production has increased dramatically in recent decades. However, the evolution and origin of waxy maize still remains unclear. We studied the genetic diversity of Chinese waxy maize including typical landraces and inbred ...

Genetic Diversity of Nigerian Cashew Germplasm

genetic diversity between and within iranian melon accessions, and their relationships with melon germplasm of diverse origins, using microsatellite markers

a set of 18 simple sequence repeat (ssr) primer pairs was employed to assess the genetic diversity in a collection of 52 melon genotypes that consisted of 24 melon accessions representing different horticultural groups of iranian cultivated melons, along with 28 reference accessions from diverse foreign geographical origins. all the studied ssr loci were polymorphic, confirming their potential ...

Genetic Diversity within Species

Based on our review of literature and survey of geneticists working on California taxa, we find genetic information lacking for most species in the Sierra Nevada. This situation is likely to remain in the future, with specific groups of taxa or occasional rare or high-interest species receiving specific study. Where we do have empirical information, we find few generalities emerging, except occ...
