Givotia rottleriformis Griff. is an economically important dioecious tree species known for the softwood used in making toys. Knowledge of genetic variation in a dioecious tree species is important for devising strategies for its successful management and conservation. Studies were conducted to examine the genetic variation in Givotia plants using RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analysi...

The morphological characters of Cirrochroa aoris (Large Yeoman) and C. tyche (Common Yeoman) are very similar making identification confusing and difficult. The genomic DNA of the two species was subjected to RAPD-PCR analysis with six decamer oligonucleotides, i.e. MA5, MA6, MA8, OPB12, OPT4 and OPT5. All of them produced discrete bands of various lengths revealing genetic variations as well a...

Curcuma is historically problematic to identify and clear their relationships for cultivar variety appearance commonly in China. Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) marker was used detect genetic among 10 China’s endemic herbs including three Chinese rarely species firstly (C. amarissima, C. flaviflora C. yunnanensis). The 2-35 polymorphic ba...

Assessment of genotoxins-induced DNA damage and mutations at molecular level is important in ecogenotoxicology. Treatment with Peganum harmala crude extract can result in cytotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. Mutagenesis is indicative of genetic instability and can be assayed using microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs). The application of SSR marker analysis using capillary...

to evaluate the genetic diversity of native populations of crown imperial (fritillaria imperialis l.) in zagross region, issr molecular along with 32 morphological traits were employed. a number of 160 samples corresponding to eight zagross populations distributed in six provinces were collected and assessed. using six primers, 57 bands were totally produced from which 49 were polymorphic. mean...

in the present study, random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) and inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) markers were used to estimate genetic diversity and relationships among 35 cluster bean [cyamopsis tetragonoloba (l.) taub] genotypes. for rapd analysis, 20 random primers were used which amplified 164 bands, 147 of which were polymorphic with an average polymorphism of 90.3%. the amplified pro...

Dog Rose is one of the most important species in Rosaceae family used as a medicinal plant and a rootstock for ornamental roses. This species is native to Iran, therefore, identification of indigenous genotypes of this species is important for genetic preservation or breeding purposes. Genetic diversity estimation of plant materials is one of the important pre-breeding activities in breeding cr...
