High levels of both morphological and chemical variability exist within the O. basilicum L. species. Long-term traditional uses and wide distribution throughout the world, as well as traditional selection and breeding eff orts, have contributed to variability within the species. Morphological traits according to UPOV descriptor list and AFLP markers were utilized to defi ne the extent of existi...

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays well-defined roles in eliciting immune responses and combating infectious diseases. The major histocompatibility complex of cattle is referred to as BoLA (Bovine Lymphocyte Antigen). This genetic system is among the most polymorphic. In the present study, polymorphism of the BoLADRB3.2 locus in three Bos indicus breeds viz., Sahiwal, Rathi and Ha...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic relationships of 28 chickpea accessions from diverse origin using AFLP markers. On average, 13 polymorphic bands per primer were observed in AFLP analysis. The average polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.71, ranging from 0.48 to 0.92. The lowest and the highest PIC value were recorded for primer P-GAG/M-GC and P-AT/M-GC, respective...

Olive grows in the mid-latitudes in the world and in areas with Mediterranean climate. Olive is one of the important agricultural products in Mediterranean Basin and Turkey. Its contribution to economy makes it valuable to determine the genetic relations among different olive varieties. In this study, genetic variations among 13 different olive cultivars were determined through 22 ISSR primers ...

Greengram or mungbean (Vigna radiata(L.) Wilczek) is a well-known grain legume in Asian countries. Among the different DNA markers, microsatellite or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are the markers of choice for various genetic studies due to co-dominant nature, loci specificity and high reproducibility. In the present study, a set of thirty-five microsatellite primer pairs derived from adzukibe...

This study aimed to compare multiallelic distances to quantify genetic diversity in papaya. We evaluated forty-three individuals in the S2 generation, from the backcross between F1 (Cariflora x SS783) and Cariflora, and four accessions from the UENF/Caliman Germplasm Bank. Genetic distances used were Smouse and Peakall (1999), Kosman and Leonard (2005) and weighted index. Clustering among genot...

The present work dealt with RAPD markers for genetic diversity comparison estimation in twenty three cotton varieties of Bt and non-Bt cotton cultivars belonging to two cultivated species of cotton in Andhra Pradesh state, India.Variations among twenty three different cotton varieties were analyzed with selected 40 RAPD primers using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All the primers produced...

Distance-based methods such as UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) continue to play a significant role in phylogenetic research. We use polyhedral combinatorics to analyze the natural subdivision of the positive orthant induced by classifying the input vectors according to tree topologies returned by the algorithm. The partition lattice informs the study of UPGMA trees. We...

Nitraria schoberi L. (Nitrariaceae) is a halophytic plant with continuous range in Central Asia and only two populations the westernmost distribution limit of species, Romania. Currently, there no documented explanation for species’ presence Europe, outside main area. Considering that marginal genetics are important establishing limits species adaptative potential, genetic diversity was assesse...

Abstract Corylopsis Seibold & Zucc. is a genus of flowering shrubs with few cultivars and little information on genome size, ploidy levels, genetic relationships among taxa. The United States National Arboretum collaborating gardens in North America maintain diverse germplasm collection including cultivated wild-collected objectives this study were to determine ploidy, diversity . Flow cyto...
