technique to identify accurately hop cultivars. Traditionally, hops cultivar identification has been verified Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) cones are used extensively in beer by either a chemical analysis of lupulin glands, or by brewing to enhance flavor and impart bittering. Verifying hops cultivar identity has traditionally been accomplished by morphological characmorphological characteristics. B...

Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) is one of the most important types of citrus grown world-wide, especially in China and Japan. It is also produced in California from mid-October to January. Several new Satsuma mandarin cultivars, originally from Japan or China, were introduced into California in the past few years. We intend to identify different Satsuma mandarin cultivars in California using A...

Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis), one kinds of valuable cultured fish species, show almost no morphological difference between male and female until sexual maturity. Here, we report the identification of sex-linked markers for the ayu, based on Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) generated from cultured fish (15 males and 15 females) by using 63 different primer combinations. Genomic frag...

Pollution by heavy metals is one of the strongest environmental constraints in human-altered environments that only a handful of species can cope with. Identifying the genes conferring to those species the ability to grow in polluted areas is a first step towards a global understanding of the evolutionary processes involved and will eventually improve phytoremediation practices. We used a genom...

The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is of economic importance for the fisheries and aquaculture industry in China. In this study, we constructed the first genetic linkage map for this species using microsatellite and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. The map consisted of 65 linkage groups, including 34 triplets and 9 doublets. A total of 212 molecular markers were mapped, in...

The application of AFLPs, and SSRs to examine genetic relationships in the 54 accessions of Aegilops tauschii from 5 countries was investigated. A total of 256 (234 polymorphic) and 224 (219 polymorp...

The use of resistant cultivars is the most effective strategy for controlling coffee leaf rust caused by fungus Hemileia vastatrix. To assist development such cultivars, amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) markers linked to two loci resistance races I and II as well pathotype 001 H. vastatrix were converted sequence-characterized region (SCAR) cleaved polymorphic site (CAPS) markers. ...
