The genus Salicornia (Amaranthaceae) was established by Linnaeus. Commonly known as ‘glassworts’, the species of are articulated succulent herbs with cortical palisade, opposite decussate scale-leaves, thyrsoid cymes, flowers packed in cauline depressions and diaspore composed l-seeded utricle. Therefore, due to importance plant species, we performed a combination morphological molecular data a...

Analysis of the extent and distribution of genetic diversity in crop plants is essential for optimizing sampling and breeding strategies. Several methods were identified for the existence of diversity in maize for the aim of perfect selection based on great diversity among maize genotypes. In this study, Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to assess genetic diversity in a sele...

The genetic relationship among some naturally growing Vicia taxa in Turkey (V. sativa subsp. sativa, subsp.nigra var.nigra, subspincisavar.cordata, V. craccasubsp.cracca, subspgerardii, subspatroviolacea, subspstenophylla, V. hybrida, V. peregrinaandV. palaestina) was assessed by helping ISSR markers. During PCR assays, although 17 primers were tested, only three primers produced informatics am...

Necrophagous fly is the most common insect evidence collected during a death investigation. We analyzed the DNA polymorphism among the five forensically important fly species, namely, Lucilia sericata, Aldrichina grahami, Chrysomya megacephala, Parasarcophaga crassipalpis and Musca domestica using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) method. Nine ISSR primers selected from 18 primers could ampli...

The variability level of the ISSR (inter-simple sequences repeat) primer (GACA)4 was examined in the three Lepidoptera families Pyralidae, Sphingidae and Pieridae. Our study shows that the tetra-repeat (GACA)n is evidently present in sufficient numbers in these butterflies to provide informative DNA fingerprints. The variability is mostly rather high, but within a comparable range to other ISSR...
