Chinese kale is an original Chinese vegetable of the Cruciferae family. To select suitable parents for hybrid breeding, we thoroughly analyzed the genetic diversity of Chinese kale. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) molecular markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity across 21 Chinese kale accessions from AVRDC and Guangzhou in ...

OBJECTIVE To quantify the amount of optic nerve axonal loss associated with the presence of a mild relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) in an experimental monkey model. METHODS The right macula of 5 rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) was treated with concentrically enlarging diode laser burns until an RAPD was detected using a transilluminator light and measured with neutral density filters...

The genetic diversity in Zanthoxylum species viz.  Zanthoxylum nitidum, Zanthoxylum oxyphyllum and Zanthoxylum rhesta collected from the Upper Brahmaputra Valley Zone of Assam (NE India) was amplified using 13 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and 9 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. RAPD markers were able to detect 81.82% polymorphism whereas ISSR detected 98.02% polymo...

Random Amplified Polymorphism DNA (RAPD) analysis is a wellknown method for studying genetic relationships between individuals. In this context, processing the underlying RAPD images is a quite difficult problem, affected by various factors. A method for processing RAPD images is proposed, which aims to detect bands by pre-processing the images by performing a template correction step and a ban...

The genetic diversity of 88 Streptococcus suis serotype 2 isolates which were recovered from various countries was examined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis with three primers. This bacterial collection included 80 isolates of porcine origin and 8 of human origin. This investigation allowed the identification of 23 RAPD types containing 1 to 30 isolates originating from one...

RAPD-PCR genetic markers were used to assess variation in wheat plants and connections among six genotypes. Four random primers produced 140 DNA fragments, averaging 6.7 identifiable bands per primer. Among the genotypes, 85 pieces (44.64 percent) polymorphic. Several RAPD marker had distinct signify recurrence patterns that thing differently amongst germplasm of groupings. Within-community acc...
