The molecular marker is a useful tool for assessing genetic variations and resolving cultivar identities. Information on genetic diversity and relationships among rice landraces from Bangladesh is currently very limited. Thirty-five rice genotypes including 33 landraces and 01 HYV of Bangladesh and 1 Indian landrace of particular interest to breeding programs were evaluated by means of random a...

beet cyst nematode (heterodera schachtii schmidt). spreads extensively in different regions of sugar beet cultivation, and therefore many efforts are accomplished to prevent decrease of sugar and root yield caused by the disease. the most appropriate control method of this disease is improvement of resistant varieties. wild species of procumbentes in beta are very important because they contain...

in the present study, random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) and inter-simple sequence repeat (issr) markers were used to estimate genetic diversity and relationships among 35 cluster bean [cyamopsis tetragonoloba (l.) taub] genotypes. for rapd analysis, 20 random primers were used which amplified 164 bands, 147 of which were polymorphic with an average polymorphism of 90.3%. the amplified pro...

Eggplant is a major crop in Turkey, which produces more of this crop than all of Europe; consequently, germplasm resources are of concern for the country. Molecular characterization of eggplant genotypes collected from different geographical regions of Turkey was carried out using SSR and RAPD markers. With amplification of five SSR loci, the number of alleles per microsatellite locus ranged fr...

Mulberry (Morus spp, Moraceae) is an important horticultural crop in Turkey, which is one of the main world producers of mulberry fruit. We evaluated the genetic relationships among 26 mulberry genotypes selected for agronomic characteristics, using RAPD markers. A total of 367 DNA markers were generated with 34 random primers. The highest genetic similarity (0.80) was observed between Oltu58 (...

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...

Genetic variation was found between isolates of Botrytis elliptica from the USA and Taiwan based on 22 polymorphic markers from five RAPD primers. Among these 69 isolates, there were 43 different genotypes. One clonal genotype was found spanning Oregon and Washington, USA, and in a population from Hsinshe, Taiwan, clonal genotypes were frequent, demonstrating the importance of asexual spread of...

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to measure genetic diversity of Changium smyrnioides Wolff (Apiaceae), a genus endemic to eastern China and an endangered medicinal plant, collected from five populations along the Yangzi River. A total of 92 amplified bands were scored from the 13 RAPD primers, and a mean of 7.1 amplified bands per primer and 69% (64 bands) percentages ...
