Molecular Characterization of Saccharomyces cereviceae using RAPD Molecular Markers

Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms including 1,500 species. They are an important model organism in modern cell biology research, and are one of the most thoroughly researched eukaryotic microorganisms. Some yeast can find potential application in the field of bioremediation. In the present investigation the yeast samples were isolated on YPD medium from natural sources like ripened fruits, m...

A genetic map of common bean combining RFLP, RAPD, SCAR and AFLP markers

Introduction: Genetic maps of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) have been developed with RFLP (1,4, 7) and RAPD (3). The RFLP maps are being cross referenced (2). Other maps will certainly appear as geneticists perform QTL analysis on important quantitative traits. The present map was developed as part of an effort to identify QTL for agronomic traits of common bean. Materials and Methods: DOR...

Genetic Diversity of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes Using RAPD and ISSR Molecular Markers

The importance of grain cultivation especially wheat is obvious in terms of providing human and animal food and its impact on the economy of human societies. The reduction of genetic diversity in cultivars prevents increasing yields in line with rising demand and consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the compatibility of them and increase their genetic extent. In the current, the g...
