Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity and relationship among 58 faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes. Fourteen SRAP primer combinations amplified a total of 1036 differently sized well-resolved peaks (fragments), of which all were polymorphic with a 0.96 PIC value and discriminated all of the 58 faba bean genotypes. An average pairwise ...

Products of the Steroid Receptor RNA Activator gene (SRA1) have the unusual property to modulate the activity of steroid receptors and other transcription factors both at the RNA (SRA) and the protein (SRAP) level. Balance between these two genetically linked entities is controlled by alternative splicing of intron-1, whose retention alters SRAP reading frame. We have previously found that both...

Dendrobium is the second largest genus in Orchidaceae family. section Spatulata widely cultivated Indonesia due to its ease of cultivation, high economic value and adaptability, extended flower shelf life. In this study, we have conducted a breeding program for developing new cultivar through interspecific hybridization. This study aimed investigate genetic variation genomic constitution eight ...

An F1 population was created by the cross '87-1' × '9-22'. The female parent '87-1' was an extremely early maturing cultivar with strong flavour. The male parent was an excellent breeding line producing large berries maturing late. The mapping population included 149 randomly chosen individuals. Molecular genetic map for each parent and the consensus map were constructed using simple sequence r...

 DNA markers are integrally connected to the success of molecular breeding and are fundamentally required by breeders to be able to, a. identify new gene sources in the available biodiversity, b. select parents in order to increase heterosis, c. decrease the number of backcross generations for gene introgression breeding programs, and d. carry out marker-assisted selection (MAS). The present re...

Staphylococcus aureus is a human commensal and opportunistic pathogen that causes devastating infections in a wide range of locations within the body. One of the defining characteristics of S. aureus is its ability to form clumps in the presence of soluble fibrinogen, which likely has a protective benefit and facilitates adhesion to host tissue. We have previously shown that the ArlRS two-compo...
