Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea germplasm can provide practical information for the selection of parental material and thus assist in planning breeding strategies. Chickpea seed is a good source of carbohydrates and proteins, constituting 80% of the total dry seed weight. Released cultivars and advanced lines of 30 chickpea genotypes were subjected to RAPD analysis for assessment of gene...

Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci is an important sucking pest of field, horticultural and ornamental plants causing feeding injuries besides spreading disease by acting as a vector of Gemini viruses. The polyphagous nature of the pest makes it as a highly complex species. The influence of six host plants utilized by the species on the population differences at molecular level was attempted using Random...

The Catskill Mountains of New York State are an important source of wild-collected American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) and, increasingly, of woods-cultivated ginseng. The objective of this study was to assess genetic diversity among 9 different wild ginseng populations in and adjacent to the Catskill Mountain region of New York State and to compare these to wild populations from other states...

pomegranate is an importantly popular fruit crop with iran the main center of its diversity throghout the world. the richest pomegranate genetic resources believed to exist in iran. the present investigation was carried out to study the genetic diversity of 15 genotypes of pomegranate in tarume zanjan making use of rapd markers. genomic dna was extracted from the plant,s leaf, and tested for th...

Haplorchis taichui specific primers were designed using a high annealing temperature random amplified polymorphic DNA (HAT-RAPD) PCR method and 18 arbitrary primers (Operon Technologies) to generate polymorphic DNA profiles for 13 different parasites. The H. taichui specific fragment was screened. A 256 bp HAT-RAPD marker generated from OPP-11 primer specific for H. taichui was cloned and seque...

the genetic diversity of 48 wheat genotypes was studied by rapd markers at 2012 in laboratory of department of agronomy and plant breeding, university of mohaghegh ardebili. 10 primers from 70 used primers showed suitable banding patterns. these primers totally produced 73 polymorphic bands with mean 7.3 for each primer. the number of bands for 55 and 59 primers were 5 and 11, respectively. the...

Jatropha curcas L. is a rapidly emerging biofuel crop attracting a lot of interest, triggering large investments and rapid expansion of cultivation areas. In the present investigation, the genetic relationships of 29 J. curcas accessions were assessed based on randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analyses. A total of 72 polymorphic primers (47 RAPD a...
