robust information of genetic diversity among bt cotton genotypes is still lacking and availability of several marker systems has prompted us to compare their utility for the detection of genetic diversity. here, we report the comparative efficiency of morphological and molecular markers (est-ssrs and issrs) in determining the genetic diversity among 30 pakistani bt cotton genotypes. three diff...

It is essential to elucidate genetic diversity and relationships among even related individuals and populations for plant breeding and genetic analysis. Since Japanese rice breeding has improved agronomic traits such as yield and eating quality, modern Japanese rice cultivars originated from narrow genetic resource and closely related. To resolve the population structure and genetic diversity i...

Current methods for inferring population structure from genetic data do not provide formal significance tests for population differentiation. We discuss an approach to studying population structure (principal components analysis) that was first applied to genetic data by Cavalli-Sforza and colleagues. We place the method on a solid statistical footing, using results from modern statistics to de...

malaysian mahseer, tor douronensis, locally known as “kelah” in peninsular malaysia or semah in sarawak is one of the important mahseers used for food as well as the aquarium industry and game fishing. this species is endemic to malaysian borneo river basins. the wild stocks of t. douronensis have declined substantially in recent years, due to over exploitation, pollution and illegal fishing pr...
