Fokienia hodginsii (Cupressaceae) is distributed in montane evergreen forests in North and Central Vietnam and extends to southeastern China at 900 m above sea level. The species has been threatened in its area of distribution in recent years because of habitat destruction and over-exploitation. The genetic variation of F. hodginsii in Vietnam was investigated on the basis of eight ISSR markers...

Carvalho M., Matos M., Carnide V., 2014. Fingerprinting of Vaccinium corymbosum cultivars using DNA of fruits. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 41: 175–184. In recent years the production and consumption Vaccinium corymbosum has increased. Highbush blueberry cultivars are divided into three types, northern, intermediate and southern. The traditional methods for classification of highbush blueberry cultivar...

Information on the genetic identity and interrelationships of different Morus spp. genotypes is essential for their proper conservation and utilization. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken with genetically more reliable DNA markers to study the genetic relationship among eleven selected genotypes of mulberry collected from Japan, India and Italy. Using ten RAPD and ten ISSR primers,...

Bromeliads are greatly represented in the Atlantic Forest, although many species are threatened with extinction owing to habitat fragmentation and intense extraction for ornamental purposes. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies generating knowledge about genetic diversity and the distribution of this diversity among and within natural populations to establish conservation strategies. T...

There is scanty information on tamarind’s genetic diversity in Easter Kenya. The objective of this study was to determine the 64 tamarind accessions from Eastern Kenya using 12 Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. DNA extracted young apical leaves modified CTAB method and amplified standard PCR. data collected were scored as presence (1) or absence (0) bands then compared 100bp ladder a...

Almond is considered the most common and essential nut grown in rainfed area. It has many species wildly distributed Iraqi Kurdistan region, which are called Chaqala by local people. To understand improve characteristics of cultivated almonds, a comprehensive study wild almonds terms population structure genetic diversity needed to transfer new traits into domesticated almonds. So, twelve diffe...

Abstract Background Euphorbia is the largest genus in family Euphorbiaceae with a great biological and genetic diversity. The anti-trypanosomal activity of crude extract 15 species against Trypanosoma brucei was carried out. Furthermore, DNA fingerprinting tested using ISSR SCoT markers also investigated. Results revealed highest E. officinarum L. milli Des Moul. IC 50 values < 10 ?g/mL afte...

Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to discriminate 62 lily cultivars of 5 hybrid series. Eight ISSR primers generated 104 bands in total, which all showed 100% polymorphism, and an average of 13 bands were amplified by each primer. Two software packages, POPGENE 1.32 and NTSYSpc 2.1, were used to analyze the data matrix. Our results showed that the observed number of alleles ...

The genetic diversity of the specimens of four natural populations of Arapaima from Araguaia-Tocantins basin was assessed within and among these stocks, using five primers for ISSR. COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) partial sequences confirmed that the specimens belongs to Arapaima gigas. The ISSR provided 168 loci, of which 165 were polymorphic. However, the number of loci for each populati...
