Genetic relationships of 16 cultivars of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L) Millsp.) and its two wild relatives (C. albicans and C. lineatus) from different parts of the India were analysed using 22 random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) primers and 10 inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) primers. Twenty two RAPD primers yielded 151 polymorphic markers (71.2%) with an average of 6.8 polymorphic b...

After conducting a roving survey in Chittoor district for the natural occurrence of Nomuraea rileyi, a few fungal infected and died (mummified) cadavers of Spodoptera litura and Bombyx mori were found and collected. With microscopic studies, the fungus was identified as Nomuraea rileyi and Beauveria bassiana. The molecular characterization of 7 isolates of N.rileyi was done by RAPD-PCR for stud...

recently, some specimens of genus apodemus were found from shirkooh mountains of central plateau of iran. in order to certify morphologic and morphometric studies, a study has been carried out on the genome of these specimens using random amplified polymorphism dna (rapd) marker. nine random primers were used. the analysis of data determines the separation of avicenna's wood mice as a new speci...

dermatophytes are a group of keratinophilic fungi capable of invading keratinized tissues (skin, hair and nails). they cause dermatophytosis (commonly known as tinea or ring worm) in human and animals. in this report, dna similarities and genomic linkage of 40 dermatophytes strains was obtained from different universities, were studied by random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd–pcr) using 11 ran...

Impact assessment of contaminants in soil is an important issue in environmental quality study and remediation of contaminated land. A random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 'fingerprinting' technique was exhibited to detect genotoxin-induced DNA damage of plants from heavy metal contaminated soil. This study compared the effects occurring at molecular and population levels in barley seedlings...

Aptamers are DNA oligonucleotides capable of binding different classes of targets with high affinity and selectivity. They are particularly attractive as affinity probes in multiplexed quantitative analysis of proteins. Aptamers are typically selected from large libraries of random DNA sequences in a general approach termed systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). SELE...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA molecular marker was utilized as a means of analyzing genetic variability in seven bat species: Molossus molossus, M. rufus, Eumops glaucinus, E. perotis, Myotis nigricans, Eptesicus furinalis, and Artibeus planirostris. The determination of genetic diversity was based on 741 bands produced by a 20-random primer set. Only eight bands were considered monomorphic ...
