The black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a forest legume that is highly valued as a honey plant and for its wood. We explored the effect of short-term spaceflight on development of R. pseudoacacia seedlings derived from seeds that endured a 15-day flight; the genetic diversity and variation of plants sampled from space-mutagenized seeds were compared to plants from parallel ground-based contr...

Information on the genetic diversity of local melon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes is important for breeding and germplasm conservation efforts. This study was to characterize morphological molecular features accessions collected from different regions northern Cyprus Turkey. We studied 32 accessions, comprising 19 areas in Cyprus, 4 hybrid cultivars, 9 grown Their characteristics were determined ...

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) with limited widespread in Turkey is considered as secondary forest tree. In this study, molecular characterizations were made for 508 genotypes of seven different carob populations colelcted from Eagean, Western and Eastern Mediterranean regions the aid sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) technique. Identification wild genotypes, relativity levels geneti...

Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.], an important turfgrass used in public parks, home lawns, golf courses and sports fields, is widely distributed in China. In the present study, sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used to assess genetic diversity and population structure among 157 indigenous bermudagrass genotypes from 20 provinces in China. The application of 2...

Fruit shape is one of the most important quality factors in many domesticated plants. In this study, we used bulked segregate analysis (BSA) to identify two sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers linked to fruit shape in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). A segregating F2 population of 130 plants from a cross (B-2-2×Y-3) of B-2-2 with long fruit shape trait and Y-3 with round fruit ...

Sequence Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) molecular technique was used for assessing the genetic diversity of eight Egyptian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes. Five SRAP primers combinations were able to expose polymorphism between studied The percentage (P %) ranged from 40 79.90 %. Furthermore, Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) values combination varied 0.11 0.31 with an a...
