Cultivation and preservation of yarrow has recently attracted wide attention due to its beneficial properties; however, genetic variation of Achillea species is still relatively unknown. We used RAPD and ISSR markers to assess genetic diversity in 16 accessions of yarrow belonging to two species native to Iran. Seven ISSR and nine RAPD primers generated 187 amplified fragments, of which 1...

Genetic diversity of 12 lemon balm ecotypes was evaluated using agronomic traits as well as ISSR and RAPD markers. Results of analysis of variance showed high diversity among the studied ecotypes. Cluster analysis using UPGMA method grouped the ecotypes into three different groups based on the agronomic traits. Twelve ISSR primers created 106 polymorphic bands among the studied ecotypes. An ISS...

Information on the genetic identity and interrelationships of different Morus spp. genotypes is essential for their proper conservation and utilization. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken with genetically more reliable DNA markers to study the genetic relationship among eleven selected genotypes of mulberry collected from Japan, India and Italy. Using ten RAPD and ten ISSR primers,...

Micropropagated plantlets derived from three different grape rootstock genotypes namely, Dogridge (Vitis champini), SO4 (V. berlandieri×V. rupestris) and ARI-H-144 (V. vinifera×V. labrusca) were subjected to randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) analyses in order to evaluate their genetic stability and/or detect likely existing variations among in vi...

Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid is one of the most important soil-borne fungi that affects sesame and causes charcoal rot disease, with a great economic challenge to growers worldwide. Pathogenic molecular characterizations eleven M. isolates collected from different geographical regions in Egypt were carried out determine pathogenicity genetic diversity. Pathogenicity tests showed pathoge...

molecular characterization of 19 jatropha accessions that included 15 accessions of j.curcas and 4 different species was carried out using 3 different markers systems. highest polymorphism (96.67%) was recorded by rapd followed by damd (91.02%) and issr (90%). polymorphism information content (pic) was higher for damd (0.873) and almost equal for rapd (0.863) and issr (0.862) markers, whereas r...
