RAPD and ISSR Methods Used for Fingerprinting Selected, Closely Related Cultivars of Aronia melanocarpa

Fingerprinting and identification of closely related wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars using ISSR and fluorescence-labeled TP-M13-SSR markers

DNA based molecular markers allow precise, objective and rapid cultivar identification. In this study, five ISSR and two sets of fluorescence-labeled TP-M13-SSR markers were applied for discrimination of eight closely related wheat cultivars. Five ISSR primers revealed a total of 43 distinct reproducible bands, 29 (67.44%) of the 43 bands were polymorphic. The number of polymorphic bands detect...

Immunomodulating Activity of Aronia melanocarpa Polyphenols

The immunomodulating effects of isolated proanthocyanidin-rich fractions, procyanidins C1, B5 and B2 and anthocyanins of Aronia melanocarpa were investigated. In this work, the complement-modulating activities, the inhibitory activities on nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and effects on cell viability of these polyphenols were studied. Several of the proanthocya...

A comparative analysis of ISSR and RAPD markers for studying genetic diversity in Iranian pistachio cultivars

Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural products of Iran. The best way to get the maximum yield is to have genetically pure and monotonous gardens. Thereby, study of genetic variation and providing genetic identifications, make this possible to have homogenous gardens with high performance genotypes. In the present study, genetic diversity of 19 Iranian pistachio cultivars was asse...

Aronia melanocarpa Treatment and Antioxidant Status in Selected Tissues in Wistar Rats

Aronia juice is considered to be a source of compounds with high antioxidative potential. We conducted a study on the impact of compounds in the Aronia juice on oxidative stress in plasma and brain tissues. The influence of Aronia juice on oxidative stress parameters was tested with the use of a model with a high content of fructose and nonsaturated fats. Therefore, the activity of enzymatic (c...
