In the present study, Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity in 20 varieties of Philodendron. The polymerase chain reaction was performed with 60 RAPD primers, out of which 21 primers showed clear amplification as well as more polymorphism. In total, 354 scorable RAPD loci with 348 polymorphic bands (98%) were observed. Percentages of polymo...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), a member of the Asteraceae family, is an important plant grown in world as source vegetable oil. In addition, it versatile crop that also used biodiesel, animal feed, spice, dye, and medicinal plant. this study, SRAP markers were to determine genetic diversity relationships between four local three registered safflower cultivars for use cross-breeding progra...

We give a new proof of the main theorem of [6] concerning the connection between good eggs in PG(4n− 1, q), q odd, and Veronese varieties, using the model for good eggs in PG(4n − 1, q), q odd, from [2].

Monsanto, the world's largest seed producer, which is the focus of European opposition to genetically modified crops still banned from commercial planting throughout the European Union, has flagged up a new conventional variety of broccoli set to win awards at a major European show this month. The company is hoping that the new broccoli, Bellaverde, will sway the judges at the Fruit Logistica s...

European hazelnut ( Corylus avellana ) is a diploid (2n = 22), monecious and wind-pollinated species, extensively cultivated for its nuts. Turkey the world-leading producer of hazelnut, supplying 70–80% world’s export capacity. Hazelnut mostly grown in Black Sea Region, maintained largely through clonal propagation. Understanding genetic variation between varieties, defining variety-specific di...

Awareness of the need for biodiversity conservation is now universally accepted, but most often recent conservation activities have focused on wild species. Crop species and the diversity between and within them has significant socioeconomic as well as heritage value. The bulk of genetic diversity in domesticated species is located in traditional varieties maintained by traditional farming syst...

In contrast to cross-breeding, genetic transformation allows for enhancement of one trait in a variety while retaining other desirable traits or attributes. Host varieties can be hybrids bred by scientists or endemic types maintained by farmers. Varieties that are popular among farmers are those whose traits or attributes are appreciated by farmers. Inserting a gene into a host variety that is ...
