The RAPD method (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) was used for identifying and mapping new molecular markers in pea. RAPD analysis of various cultivars and lines of pea was carried out using 10-mer random primers. The presence of multiple polymorphism between cultivars and lines was revealed; at least one fragment for any given primer was present in the DNA of one form of pea and absent in the...

Background: Random induced mutation by gamma radiation is one of the genetic manipulation strategies to improve the antagonistic ability of biocontrol agents. Objectives: This study aimed to induce mutants with more sporulation, colonization rate leading to enhanced antagonistic ability (in vitro assay) comparing to wild type (WT) and the assessment of genetic differences (in situ evaluat...

Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in Iran; hybridization is a means to increase the genetic diversity and obtain new elite cultivars in this crop. We examined agronomic characteristics and molecular genetic diversity in the Opal cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar and in F(2) progenies. Ten homo-primers and seven hetero-primers of 26 RAPD primers produced 261 reproduc...

randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers were used to study the genetic diversity and discriminate among 17 unknown genotypes (considered potentially salt tolerant) and 16 known olive cultivars. fifteen decamer primers which produced 38 reproducible polymorphic bands in the genotypes were selected for analysis. the rapd markers resulted in 93 distinct banding patterns. based on either ...

AIWKKY. Thirty-four extant pawpaw [&imina w&& (L.) Dunsl] cultivars and advancedselections representing a large portion of the gene pool of cultivated pawpaws were investigated using71 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to es tabl i sh genet ic ident i t ies and evaluate genet ic re latedness . All 34 cu l t ivated pawpaws were uniquely identified by as few as 14 loci of eight pr...
