Genetic variation and inheritance of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers in female grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and male bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and their F1 offspring hybrid have been studied. For this purpose, genomic DNA was extracted from muscle tissue according to phenol-chloroform method, and six decamer primers were used for amplifying polymorphic ...

beauveria bassiana (balsamo) vuillemin is an important natural regulator of insect populations. identification of a suitable molecular marker for detecting a virulent phenotype on a target pest would be useful in screening for effective isolates against the pest. nine isolates of b. bassiana were tested for their virulence to adults of tribolium castaneum (herbst) in laboratory bioassay with 1×...

The genetic variability of 40 Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates from various fields widely distributed throughout Brazil and different host crops was analyzed using RAPD markers and mycelial compatibility groupings (MCGs). The isolates were characterized using 16 random primers of the OPERON series, which produced 121 DNA fragments. UPGMA cluster analysis using Jaccard's genetic distance and MC...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker was used to establish intergeneric classification and phylogeny of the tribe Millettieae sensu Geesink (1984) (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae) and to assess genetic relationship between 9 constituent species belonging to 5 traditionally recognized genera under the tribe. DNA from pooled leaf samples was isolated and RAPD analysis performed using 25 de...

Little is known about the molecular genetic diversity of most Passiflora species. We used RAPD markers to evaluate the genetic diversity of 24 genotypes of the 'sleep' passion fruit (Passiflora setacea). Twelve primers generated 95 markers, 88% of which were polymorphic. The genetic distance estimated by the complement of the Dice index ranged from 0.29 (among accessions Ps-G1 and Ps-G13) ...

Inorganic arsenic is a known human carcinogen, yet its mechanism of action remains unclear. Our previous study showed that arsenite significantly induces oxidative DNA adducts and DNA-protein cross-links in several mammalian cell lines. In the present study, we used the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay to evaluate the possible target in the genomic DNA of human lymphoblastoid cells...

Genetic and epigenetic changes (DNA methylation) in the mother plants of somatic hybrids (1st cycle) and their regenerants (30th cycles sub-cultured) were analyzed using methylation-sensitive ISSR and RAPD markers. ISSR and RAPD profiles and their cluster analyses based on the Jaccard’s similarity coefficient revealed 100% genetic similarity among the mother plant and their regenerants. While f...

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important crop plant which contains a high amount of oil and protein. The main goal the work was to use 13 RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers study genetic polymorphism in set 28 soybean genotypes construct dendrogram from obtained results, based on we will recommend for further breeding. In total, using markers, determined 108 fragments with average ...

The genus Juniperus L. (Cupressaceae), an aromatic evergreen plant, consists of up to 68 species around the world. We classified five species of Juniperus found in Iran using molecular markers to provide a means for molecular identification of Iranian species. Plants were collected (three samples of each species) from two different provinces of Iran (Golestan and East Azarbayejan). The DNA was ...
