Red rod is an economically important disease of sugarcane caused by the fungus Colletotrichum falcatum. We used a simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based marker system to identify and analyze genetic relationships of red rot resistant and susceptible sugarcane cultivars grown in Pakistan. Twenty-one highly polymorphic SSR markers were used for DNA fingerprinting and genetic diversity analysis o...

Premise of the study The genus Anneslea (Pentaphylacaceae) contains four species and six varieties, most of which are locally endemic. Here, simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed for the conservation of these species. Methods and Results The genome of A. fragrans was sequenced and de novo assembled into 445,162 contigs, of which 30,409 SSR loci were detected. Primers for 100 SSR...

Old grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) accessions are a source of genes that could be rescued for use per se or in modern breeding programs. The first step in this rescuing is collecting and characterizing the germplasm from a particular region. This study presents the genetic characterization of 21 grapevine accessions collected from the Atacama Desert in the far North of Chile. Characterization wa...

This paper presents the analysis of ki and -c particles. We’ve chosen these particles (-c and ki) because they are widely used and very often occur together (-c ki). Also, they are constituents of some other particles (kidec). It was interesting to find what semantic features they have-the same or different. Both of them are often used to express the emphasis of a phrase or a word they are atta...

There exist eight conjunctions in Georgian used to express semantic or pragmatic contrast, which constitute an implicational hierarchy: aramed > oγond > tumca > magram > k'i//k'idev > xolo > tu > da. The given string is organized in such a way that the skill of conjunctions to express contrasting bindings is decreasing from the left to the right. On the basis of functional-semantic analysis of ...
