in this research work, genetic diversity of 21 wild persian shallot (allium hirtifolium boiss.) accessions from south, southwest, west and center of iran was evaluated using morphological traits as well as aflp markers. results showed that khansar accession had the highest leaf width (5.42 cm), mean leaf number per plant (5.41), bulb diameter (10.84 cm), bulb height (4.95 cm) and mean bulb weig...

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used in combination with bulked segregant analysis (BSA) to identify molecular markers linked to two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) genes conferring resistance to Striga gesnerioides race 1. After AFLP analysis of an F2 population derived from a cross between the resistant cultivar Gorom and the susceptible cultivar Tvx 3236, sev...

To assess the genetic diversity among four canola cultivars (namely, Serw-3, Serw-4, Misser L-16 and Semu 249), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), simple sequence repeat polymorphism (SSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses were performed. The data indicated that all of the three molecular markers gave different levels of polymorphism. A total of 118, 31 and 338 ma...

the domesticated silkworm, bombyx mori, is of high commercial importance as a silk producer and is also widely used for implementation of basic and applied research. it is important to understand its genome organization using molecular markers for genetic studies and for breeding purposes. in this study, a genetic linkage map using 204 amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) markers was d...

The moss Physcomitrella patens is a model for the study of plant cell biology and, by virtue of its basal position in land plant phylogeny, for comparative analysis of the evolution of plant gene function and development. It is ideally suited for 'reverse genetic' analysis by virtue of its outstanding ability to undertake targeted transgene integration by homologous recombination. However, gene...

Molecular genetic maps were constructed for two full-sib populations, TTC1 and TTC2, derived from two Leymus triticoides x Leymus cinereus hybrids and one common Leymus triticoides tester. Informative DNA markers were detected using 21 EcoRI-MseI and 17 PstI-MseI AFLP primer combinations, 36 anchored SSR or STS primer pairs, and 9 anchored RFLP probes. The 164-sib TTC1 map includes 1069 AFLP ma...
