Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is a major turfgrass for home lawns, public parks, golf courses and sport fields and is known to have originated in the Middle East. Morphological and physiological characteristics are not sufficient to differentiate some bermudagrass genotypes because the differences between them are often subtle and subjected to environmental influences. In this study, twenty seven...

The classification of bamboos based on floral morphology and reproductive characters is very hard due to erratic flowering behavior and unusually long reproductive cycle. The application of reliable and effective DNA molecular markers is highly essential to address this problem. In the present investigation, inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers were employed to study phylogenetic relati...

Study of genetic relationships is a prerequisite for plant breeding activities as well as for conservation of genetic resources. In the present study, genetic diversity among and within 15 Iranian native Ajowan(Carum copticum L.) populations were determined using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Twelve selected primers produced 153 discernible bands, with 93 (60.78%) being ...

Erythropalum scandens Blume, an emerging medicinal plant with great potential for drug development, also possesses high edible value. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity of germplasm E. obtained from different geographical locations using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. For purpose, 18 ISSR primer pairs a distinct background and adequate polymorphism were selected....

Genetic stability of Morus alba, Morus indica, Morus laevigata (indigenous collection) and Morus species (exotic collection) have been studied in in vitro regenerated plants of mulberry (fresh, before and after cryopreservation) using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. This study examined the genetic stability of cryopreserved dormant buds o...

The rational use of valuable fish species from aquaculture is difficult to implement without knowledge the state genetic structure local stocks. Different types DNA markers can be used achieve goals selection and breeding work. a stock rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) (Salmoniformes, Salmonidae) farmed in Ukraine was studied using DNA-markers: microsatellite (SSR-markers – simp...

Mangalore melon (Cucumis melo ssp. agrestis var. acidulus) is a non-dessert melon, extensively grown in the coastal districts of South India, but hardly known to rest World. Immature or mature fruits are used preparation delicious dishes such as vegetable stew, chutneys and curries. They appreciated for nutritional values, long shelf life biotic stress resistance. Seventy-nine accessions were c...

Nicotiana alata is an ornamental plant. It is a member of family Solanasea. Tobacco (Nicotiana spp.) is one of the most important commercial crops in the world. Wild Nicotiana species, as a store house of genes for several diseases and pests, in addition to genes for several important phytochemicals and quality traits which are not present in cultivated varieties. Inter simple sequence repeat D...

Two types of molecular markers, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), were assayed to determine the genetic diversity of ten experimental materials in Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch .f. hueichingensis (Chao et Schih) Hsiao, including eight cultivars and two virus-free lines micropropagated by tip tissue culture from Wenxian county. A high level of polymor...
