Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Different Citrus Varieties of Pakistan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genetic relationship among 17 citrus commercially important cultivars, including local and some hybrid varieties of Pakistan was evaluated by RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers. Fifteen decamer primers were selected out of 25 primers that produced 153 polymorphic bands with 13bands per primer on an average with a total of 188 bands. To analyze the genetic similarity or dissimilarity Jaccard Coefficients was used. The dendrogram that separated 17 citrus genotypes into 4 main clusters was generated by using UPGMA. Across all the genotypes the genetic similarity value observed were 0.66 with the two cultivars of Kinnow and Seedless kinnow (Mandarin) and two cultivars of Meiwa and Marumi (Kumquat) showing maximum similarity value (0.85).Genetic difference among the citrus varieties was high that depicted that they do not belong to similar origin.

Myxosporean taxonomy which is traditionally based on the morphology of the myxospore stage, is in a state of flux given new insights provided by the expanding dataset of DNA sequences. To date, more than 40 species of Thelohanellus from India have been described according to morphometric characteristics. Nevertheless, molecular data on these histozoic myxosporean parasites of freshwater fish ar...

Abstract Determination of genetic diversity level is important in clarifying genetic relationships, characterizing germplasm and the registration of new cultivars. In this study, genetic variation among 56 accessions (G1~G56) of Citrus including several undefined local or native genotypes and some known varieties in Jiroft, Kerman province, Iran was investigated using SSR markers. In total, 12 ...

In India, more than 104 species of Myxobolus have so far been reported infecting freshwater as well as marine fishes. The study focuses on the description of a new myxosporean species, Myxobolus sp.n PKB 2014 from the gill lamellae of an Indian major carp Labeo rohita. The species have been described on the basis of morphological characterization of the spores, tissue architecture and 18S rDNA ...

Background: Argas persicus has a great importance for health and veterinary, it can transmit many infectious agents such as Borrelia anserina (avian spirochetosis) and Aegyptianella pullorum. Distinguishing Argasidae due to close morphological relationship is difficult. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we performed molecular analyses based on PCR and sequencing of Amplicon derived from 16S rRN...
