This study attempts to provide a deeper insight into the current genetic status of 12 Bulgarian autochthonous sheep breeds using microsatellite (SSR) markers. A total 600 individuals from 50 flocks were analyzed panel 13 SSR In total, 228 alleles found in studied loci. The mean number alleles, effective and polymorphic information content (PIC) values per locus 17.54, 5.250, 0.799, respectively...

Narrow genetic variability may lead to genetic vulnerability of field crops against biotic and abiotic stresses which can cause yield reduction. In this study a set of 37 wheat microsatellite markers linked with identified QTLs for salinity tolerance were used for the assessment of genetic diversity for salinity in 30 promising lines of hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A total of 4...

The bovine leptin (LEP) gene was widely used as a candidate gene for molecular selection to improve productivity traits of cattle. This study was carried out to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LEP gene of Sumba Ongole (SO, Bos indicus) cows using sequencing method. A total of 31 animals were used in this study for analyses. Research showed that total of 16 SNPs w...

Expressed sequence tags simple sequence repeats (EST-SSRs) are important sources for investigation of genetic diversity and molecular marker development. Similar to genomic SSRs, the EST-SSRs are useful markers for many applications in genetics and plant breeding such as genetic diversity analysis, molecular mapping and cross-transferability across related species and genera. In spite of low po...

Indigofera pseudotinctoria Mats is an agronomically and economically important perennial legume shrub with a high forage yield, protein content and strong adaptability, which is subject to natural habitat fragmentation and serious human disturbance. Until now, our knowledge of the genetic relationships and intraspecific genetic diversity for its wild collections is still poor, especially at sma...

A study was aimed to evaluate a set of polymorphic microsatellite markers for their efficiency in testing parentage Jersey crossbred cattle available Tamil Nadu. The objective validation based on the criteria such as polymorphism information content, various genetic diversity parameters and ability exclude wrong parent. total 21 were included verify 24 trios (comprising dams, progenies 2 sires)...

Grain Amaranth is the most promising C4 dicotyledonous pseudocereal and distributed globally. It has an excellent nutritional profile adaptability against a broad range of environmental factors. These traits have renewed interest researchers breeders in exploring this underutilized orphan crop. The present study aimed to validate genome-wide SSR assess genetic diversity among 94 Amaranthus hypo...
