Aconitum is a medicinal treasure trove that grows extensively on fertile pastures in Xinjiang Province (China); however, its molecular genetic characteristics are still poorly studied. We studied Aconitum kusnezoffii Reichb., Aconitum soongaricum Stapf., Aconitum carmichaelii Debx. and Aconitum leucostomum Worosch, using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (...

Pecan is an important horticultural nut crop originally from North America and now widely cultivated in China for its high ecological, ornamental and economic value. Currently, there are over one hundred cultivars grown in China, including introduced American cultivars and Chinese seedling breeding cultivars. Molecular markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of these cultivars and to ...

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...
