The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses for selection of the best parents for breeding of hybrid winter triticale. Phenotypic diversity was measured for 8 agronomic traits in 10 parents and 27 F1 hybrids. Genotypic diversity was measured by 91 AFLP markers. Coefficients of correlation of genetic similarity (AFLP-GS) wi...

Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax and represents one of the most molecularly monomorphic bacteria known. We have used AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) DNA markers to analyze 78 B. anthracis isolates and six related Bacillus species for molecular variation. AFLP markers are extremely sensitive to even small sequence variation, using PCR and high-resolution electrophoresis to examine...

the applicability of rapds, aflps, and ssrs to examine genetic relationships in 36 populations of triticum boeoticum from west of iran was investigated. a total of 224 (135 polymorphic), 979 (429 polymorphic) and 246 (145 polymorphic) bands/alleles were detected using 14 rapd primers, 17 aflp primer combinations and 17 well distributed, mapped ssr markers, respectively. the polymorphic informat...

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...

Phoenix dactylifera L. is a flowering plant species commonly known as the date palm and widely cultivated in most Middle East countries, including Libya. The present study analysed biochemical genetic diversity of fully mature eight Libyan cultivars grown different regions using amplified fragments length polymorphism (AFLP) technique. Six pairs AFLP molecular marker combinations were utilised ...

A combined RFLP and AFLP map was constructed for hexaploid oat (Avena spp.). The segregation of AFLP markers was scored in two hexaploid oat recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations, the 'Kanota' x 'Ogle' RFLP population, and a population derived from 'Clintland64' and 'IL86-5698', barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV)-sensitive and BYDV-tolerant lines, respectively. More than 300 AFLP markers were...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to identify and evaluate the effective single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for fat deposition in the longissimus dorsi muscles of pigs using the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) approach. METHODS Sixty-four selective primer combinations were used to identify the AFLP markers in the 20 highest- and 20 lowest-intramuscular fat (IMF) conte...

A linkage map of rye, previously developed using DS2 x RXL10 F2 mapping population, was enriched with 179 AFLP and 19 RAPD marker loci. The current map covers 1386 cM and contains 480 markers including 200 RFLPs, 179 AFLPs, 88 RAPDs, 12 protein loci and one dwarfing gene. AFLPs generated by EcoRI/MseI primer combinations were distributed over the entire genome as distinct loci or clusters of 2-...

The molecular variability of ten genotypes of Celosia argentea seeds collected from National Institute of Horticultural Research (NIHORT) and National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (NACGRAB) germplasms were evaluated using the Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) marker. The polymorphism of C. argentea was detected within the population using primer mix of AFLP EcoRI +...

We have examined the global population genetic structure of Haemonchus contortus. The genetic variability was studied using both amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and nad4 sequences of the mitochondrial genome. To examine the performance and information content of the two different marker systems, comparative assessment of population genetic diversity was undertaken in 19 isolates o...
