Construction of a genetic linkage map is necessary to apply marker-assisted selection tools in a crop improvement program. Except for the recent studies from two laboratories, most of the previous studies have shown little or no DNA polymorphism in cultivated groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). In the present study, 70 selected genotypes, representing variability for several morphological, physiol...

| Poultry and poultry products are the most economical protein sources for the ever-increasing human population and to meet the future food security. While these are promising food sources, the importance of genetically improved avian species in the breeding programme has increased significantly. In this study, we applied randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) methodology to elucidate geneti...

Fusarium Head Blight is an important wheat disease in the Argentine Pampas region, being Fusarium graminearum the predominant pathogen. DNA polymorphism of the isolates was analyzed by IGS-RFLP and ISSR. IGS-RFLP and ISSR profiling were carried out using six endonucleases and eight primers, respectively. IGS-RFLP yielded 41 bands, 30 of which were polymorphic while ISSR produced 87 bands with 4...

Mango malformation is the most serious disease of mango causing considerable damage to the mango orchards worldwide. It is a major threat for mango cultivation in north Indian belt. In recent years, Fusarium sp. is finding wide acceptability in scientific community as a causal agent of this disease. However, little information is known about the variability in Fusarium isolates from malformed m...

Erythropalum scandens Blume, an emerging medicinal plant with great potential for drug development, also possesses high edible value. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity of germplasm E. obtained from different geographical locations using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. For purpose, 18 ISSR primer pairs a distinct background and adequate polymorphism were selected....

  Background: Garlic is a valuable medicinal plant with variability in desirable morphological and physiological characteristics. The analysis of genetic diversity plays an important role in breeding programs. The RAPD technique could be very effective in detecting genetic variation in garlic.  Objective: The objective of the present work was to detect molecular polymorphism among Iranian garli...

There are about 484 species of Hypericum in the Guttiferae family, which includes Hypericoideae. In Iran, this genus mainly found north, northwest, and center country, they key contributors to floral elements Hyrcanian mountains, Irano-Turanian, Mediterranean regions (such as Zagros). Medicinal, commercial, horticultural values associated with these plants.The genetic diversity was assessed thr...
