Background: The YMD is one of the serious viral diseases in blackgram and being transmitted by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). development YMV resistant varieties important aspects for sustainable production. Marker assisted selection genetic transformation could be utilized developing genotypes. Methods: We attempted to map QTLs governing resistance employing parents i.e., PBG32 (susceptible) PU31 ...

The strategy of bulk DNA sampling has been a valuable method for studying large numbers of individuals through genetic markers. The application of this strategy for discrimination among germplasm sources was analyzed through information theory, considering the case of polymorphic alleles scored binarily for their presence or absence in DNA pools. We defined the informativeness of a set of marke...

Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl is an important horticultural and medicinal crop grown worldwide in the food pharmaceutical industries. The exhibits extensive phenotypic genetic variation useful for cultivar development targeting economic traits; however, limited genomic resources are available effective germplasm characterization into breeding conservation strategies. This study determined...

Abstract For conservation genetic studies using non-invasively collected samples, genome-wide data may be hard to acquire. Until now, such have instead mostly relied on analyses of traditional markers as microsatellites (SSRs). Recently, high throughput genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has become available, expanding the use genomic methods include non-model species concern. We...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of paratuberculosis in Ugandan cattle has recently been reported but there is no information on the strains of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) responsible for the disease. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterise MAP from seropositive cattle and paratuberculosis lesions in tissues obtained from slaughtered cattle in Uganda. RESULTS ...

Dolichos bean is grown in environments with short and long crop growth seasons. Development deployment of cultivars flowering time (FT) that matches prevailing season help maximize their productivity the to which they are targeted. Dependable knowledge on genetic basis FT enables use most appropriate selection strategy breed desired FT. We unraveled by detecting QTL controlling using SSR marker...

Genetic variability in modern crops is limited due to domestication and selection processes. Genetic variation in eight Bulgarian tomato varieties and breeding lines (variety Plovdivska karotina, variety IZK Alya, L21β, L53β, L1140, L1116, L975, L984) differing in their morphological and biochemical composition was assessed using a highly efficient and low-cost fluorescent simple sequence repea...
