In the present study, genetic fingerprints of ten species of Zingiberaceae from eastern India were developed using PCR-based markers. 19 RAPD (Rapid Amplified polymorphic DNA), 8 ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) and 8 SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) primers were used to elucidate genetic diversity important for utilization, management and conservation. These primers produced 789 loci, out of ...

Early sex identification of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) at seedling stage is an economically desirable objective, which will significantly increase the profits of seed based cultivation. The utilization of molecular markers at this stage for early and rapid identification of sex is important due to the lack of morphological markers. In this study, a total of two hundred Inter Simple Sequ...

Dendrocalamus membranaceus Munro is a woody bamboo with a high economic and ecological value that often occurs as natural stands, such as in the large-scale forested areas of China's Yunnan Province. Due to its overexploitation, the habitat of D. membranaceus in Yunnan has been dramatically reduced, and the quality of the stands has declined. As a preliminary analysis in considering the effecti...

This study evaluated balsa wood (Ochroma pyramidale) plantations in the search for matrices genetic improvement. We were a total of 20 trees Mato Grosso diversity with ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) primers, as well their diameter at breast height (DBH) and commercial (CH). The primers amplified 111 loci (97.3% polymorphic), Nei (0.32) Shannon index (0.48) indicate that there is plantatio...

This study aimed at determining the population genetic structure of Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata) in North-eastern Brazil, so as to improve our understanding viability inter-simple sequences repeat (ISSR) markers Brazilian populations, along with inferences on composition which can be used management programs. For this, ISSR were groups collected from four municipalities this r...

Dioscorea polystachya Turcz. is the authentic herb Yam in Chinese traditional medicine. In medicinal marketplace, some related species are mislabeled as “Yams”, such D. alata L., exalata C.T. Ting & M.C. Chang, persimili Prain et Burkill, fordii Burkill and japonica Thunb. To determine genetic relationships among these develop a rapid accurate method for identification, Inter Simple Sequence Re...

Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate the genetic stability of the micropropagated plants of Cannabis sativa over 30 passages in culture and hardening in soil for 8 months. A total of 15 ISSR primers resulted in 115 distinct and reproducible bands. All the ISSR profiles from micropropagated plants were monomorphic and comparable to mother plants, confirming the genet...

In the present study, 20 sandalwood (Santalum album L.) genotypes were characterized using RAPD, ISSR and SSR markers. Twenty-five RAPD and twenty-one ISSR primers that generated clear and reproducible banding patterns amplified 225 and 208 bands, respectively, among 20 sandalwood genotypes. Out of 225, 181 (83.13 %) RAPD bands were polymorphic while out of 208, 156 (75.77 %) ISSR bands were po...

A large number of micropropagated plantlets of banana, Musa acuminata var. Nanjanagudu Rasabale (NR), that were developed from axillary shoot bud explants over 10 years ago were screened for genetic variation, if any, using RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) and ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats) markers. Of the 4000 in vitro plantlets, 11 were used for screening that involved shoot cult...

Juglans pyriformis Liebm. (Juglandaceae) is a threatened and endemic tree that grows in the cloud forest of Mexico. Natural populations this species have been reduced due to, among others, changes land use, overexploitation, logging, with probable effects on its genetic diversity structure. To determine levels variation structure two different silvicultural regimes, six inter-simple sequence re...
