pod length is one of the effective components on canola yield selection on the basis of which can increase not only the seed yield but also the oil yield. molecular markers asso-ciated with long pod loci were identified in a doubled haploid population derived from a cross between the canola lines ‘quantum’ (long pod) ‘china a’ (short pod) using rapd and bulked segregant analysis. a molecular ma...

Discovery of molecular markers for efficient identification of living organisms remains a challenge of high interest. The diversity of species can now be observed in details with low cost genomic sequences produced by new generation of sequencers. A method, called c-GAMMA, is proposed. It formalizes the design of new markers for such data. It is based on a series of filters on forbidden pairs o...

This fall marks 20 years since the cloning of unc-119 was reported. Despite having a strong phenotype that makes animals somewhat difficult to grow and handle, unc-119 mutant rescue has become one of the most frequentlyused markers for C. elegans transformation. In this Commentary, I describe the history of how unc-119 rescue traveled through the worm community, contributing to the development ...

Tumour markers are substances that are produced either by the tumour itself or by the body in response to the presence of cancer or certain benign conditions that can aid in the diagnosis of cancer. The subject of tumour markers is a broad one, and there is an abundance of data. A literature review of potential molecular markers relevant to oral neoplasia was undertaken in terms of a perspectiv...

Genetic study of pistachio, especially male genotypes due to the effects of pollen on nut quality and quantity and next generation characterizations, help to improve its management and breeding programs. We studied the genetic diversity among 20 male and 36 female pistachio genotypes using ISSR marker. In total 178 DNA frgments were proliferated using 12 primers that 169 fragments were polymorp...

 DNA markers are integrally connected to the success of molecular breeding and are fundamentally required by breeders to be able to, a. identify new gene sources in the available biodiversity, b. select parents in order to increase heterosis, c. decrease the number of backcross generations for gene introgression breeding programs, and d. carry out marker-assisted selection (MAS). The present re...
