Use of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Analysis for Economically Important Food Crops

چکیده
The objective of this review is to summarize numerous studies on the use of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique on rice, corn, wheat, sorghum, barley, rye, and oats to examine its feasibility and validity for assessment of genetic variation, population genetics, mapping, linkage and marker assisted selection, phylogenetic analysis, and the detection of somaclonal variation. Also we discuss the advantages and limitations of RAPD. Molecular markers have entered the scene of genetic improvement in different fields of agricultural research. The simplicity of the RAPD technique made it ideal for genetic mapping, plant and animal breeding programs, and DNA fingerprinting, with particular utility in the field of population genetics.

Fingerprinting of some Egyptian rice genotypes using Intron-exon Splice Junctions (ISJ) markers
DNA fingerprinting has become an important tool for diversity assessment and varietal identification in plant breeding programs. Semi- random PCR primers targeting intron-exon splice junctions (ISJ) were used to evaluate the potential of these markers in identification and classification of rice genotypes. A total of 12 ISJ primers were used for screening fourteen Egyptian rice genotypes, inclu...
متن کاملUse of Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Markers in Poultry Research
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers can be generated using short arbitrary primers to amplify genomic DNA, giving a genotype-specific pattern of bands. RAPD analysis should lead to the saturation of the genome without the requirement of previous genetic information and using few expensive oligonucleiotides. The use of DNA marker technology in poultry as a strains identification has ...

Ten field isolates of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) from different geographical areas of Iran were analyzed by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD). RAPD analysis produced reproducible banding patterns on the basis of which various distinct amplification patterns could be detected. MG isolates compared with reference strains (S6 and Mg SS) and vaccine strain (ts-11) and demonstrated...
متن کاملAn Efficient DNA Isolation Method from Nigella sativa L. (Ranunculaceae) Seeds for RAPD and ISSR Analysis
Nigella sativa L. (Ranunculaceae) seeds (black cumin) that contain high oil, terpene, protein, alkaloids are an economically important for medicine and food industry. Lack of an efficient DNA isolation procedure is a limiting factor for any molecular studies of these plant. We have used a genomic DNA isolation protocol for Nigella sativa seeds based on a hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB...
