Abstract:

Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural products of Iran. The best way to get the maximum yield is to have genetically pure and monotonous gardens. Thereby, study of genetic variation and providing genetic identifications, make this possible to have homogenous gardens with high performance genotypes. In the present study, genetic diversity of 19 Iranian pistachio cultivars was assessed using ISSR and RAPD primers. Among these markers, RAPDs generated 127 amplification products, out of which 88 were polymorphic and ISSRs produced 114 amplification products, out of which 73 were polymorphic. RAPD fingerprinting detected more polymorphic loci (67%) than the ISSR (63%). Mean of polymorphism information content (PIC) for each of the marker systems (0.39 for RAPD and 0.39 for ISSR) suggested that both the marker systems were equally effective in determining polymorphisms. The dendrograms constructed using RAPD and ISSR marker systems were highly correlated with each other as revealed by high Mantel correlation (r= 0.83). These two marker systems were found to be useful for genetic diversity studies in pistachio and identify variation within Pistacia vera cultivars.

Evaluation of genetic diversity of Avicenniaceae family in Indian sundarban by using RAPD and ISSR markers

The present investigation was undertaken to describe the relationships among species of Avicenniaceae family which have both economic and medicinal activities, collected in Indian Sundarban by the help of RAPD and ISSR markers. In this study, three different species of Avicennia genus were collected. Frozen young leaves (-200C) were taken to isolate the genomic DNA using a slightly modified CTA...

Genetic analysis of Morus alba through RAPD and ISSR markers

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,...

Genetic diversity of sugarcane hybrid cultivars by RAPD markers

Genetic diversity among sugarcane hybrids (Saccharum spp) is pre-requisite for sugarcane improvement through breeding. Twelve decamer oligonucleotide random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were utilized to investigate the genetic potential among 24 sugarcane cultivars. A total of 120 fragments were originated by 12 RAPD primers. An average number of fragments were obtained as 11.42 fra...

Evaluation of Genetic Diversity among Some Common Fig Using RAPD and ISSR Molecular Markers

The common fig (Ficus carica L.), one of the most important fruit species, belongs to Moraceae family and is widely distributed in Iran. In this study, genetic variations among some genotypes of common fig collected from six different regions of Ilam province (Iran) were evaluated based on RAPD and ISSR markers. A total of 73 and 29 alleles were produced by 14 RAPD (with their sizes ranging fro...

Genetic diversity analysis in Opal cotton hybrids based on SSR, ISSR, and RAPD markers.

Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in Iran; hybridization is a means to increase the genetic diversity and obtain new elite cultivars in this crop. We examined agronomic characteristics and molecular genetic diversity in the Opal cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar and in F(2) progenies. Ten homo-primers and seven hetero-primers of 26 RAPD primers produced 261 reproduc...

ISSR Analysis for Determination of genetic diversity in 29 olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars

Olive tree is one of the most important oleaginous crops in the world, and known for having large genetic variability. Application of molecular markers is a suitable tool to investigate the genetic pool in crops. Therefore, in the current study 29 olive cultivars were tested by ten primers constituted by inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR). Plant materials were obtained from the collection of ...
