Bárta J., Bártová V. (2008): Patatin, the major protein of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers, and its occurrence as genotype effect: processing versus table potatoes. Czech J. Food Sci., 26: 347–359. Patatin relative abundance in SDS-extractable protein and patatin content in dry matter were evaluated in tubers of forty processing and table potato cultivars usually cultivated in the Czech Re...

Turkey is very rich in local grape varieties. The solution to the problem of identifying local cultivars, which is considered an important deficiency for the region, will only be possible when they can be defined with molecular markers. Forty-nine local grapevine cultivars from Şanlıurfa (Turkey) were characterized with RAPD markers. Twenty-five decamer primers selected from 60 primers were use...

This study was conducted during two successive seasons 2003 and 2004 by using twelve peach cultivars whether importedlow chill or originated as strains of local cultivar Meet Ghamr. Studied cultivars were either early-season ones (namely, Robin, Rubidoux, and Spring Time) or mid-season cultivars (namely, Florida Red, Fla 16/33, Fla 3/2, Desert Red, Bemto, and Hagazy) or late-season cultivars (n...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) was extracted from 84 rice samples and rice products by using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and analysed with liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection. Samples were collected from rice cultivars, local markets and supermarkets; 64 were of non-organic and 20 of organic production. 7.8% of non-organic samples had OTA levels from 4.3 to 27.3 microg/kg and...

Expression of resistance to Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica from Aegilops squarrosa was studied in a synthetic allohexaploid produced from Triticum turgidum var. durum cv. Produra and Ae. squarrosa G 3489. The reproductive rate of different races of M. incognita and M. javanica, expressed in eggs per gram of fresh root, was low (P < 0.05) on the synthetic allohexaploid and the resistant p...

Genetic relationship among 17 citrus commercially important cultivars, including local and some hybrid varieties of Pakistan was evaluated by RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers. Fifteen decamer primers were selected out of 25 primers that produced 153 polymorphic bands with 13bands per primer on an average with a total of 188 bands. To analyze the genetic similarity or dissimilarit...
