The transcriptome sequencing approach RNA-seq represents a powerful tool for transcriptional analysis and development of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers nonmodel crop. In the Perilla crop, distribution different motifs showed that most abundant type was dinucleotide repeats (62.0%), followed by trinucleotide (35.3%), with two together comprising 97.3% eSSR repeats. this study, we developed...

Superior plant architecture is a key means of enhancing yield potential in high yielding varieties. A newly identified recessive gene, named sd-c, controls plant height and tiller number. Genetic analysis of an F2 population from a cross between the semi-dwarf mutant and japonica cv. Houshengheng showed that the sd-c locus was flanked by SSR markers RM27877 and RM277 on chromosome 12. Thirty ni...

Pear (Pyrus spp.) is one of the most important edible fruits belonging to family Rosaceae. DNA markers, molecular genetics and genomics, breeding pear have greatly progressed over last few decades. The development reliable such as simple sequence repeats single nucleotide polymorphisms, has allowed profiling accessions, assessment genetic diversity within species, analyses phylogenetic relation...

The development of ‘scientific’ breeding methodologies in the first half of the 20 Century was based partly on the application of genetic theory following the rediscovery of Mendel’s Laws, but mostly on developing procedures for systematic phenotypic selection. Although, new technologies in tissue culture, pathology, statistics and quantitative genetics contributed to advances in the second hal...

Plant breeding largely depends on phenotypic selection in plots and only for some, often disease-resistance-related traits, uses genetic markers. The more recently developed concept of genomic selection, using a black box approach with no need of prior knowledge about the effect or function of individual markers, has also been proposed as a great opportunity for plant breeding. Several empirica...

mapping the QTLs of agronomic and physiological traits, 149 double haploid (DH) lines from a cross between an Australian cultivar, Clipper (salt susceptible), and an Algerian landrace, Sahara3771 (salt tolerant), were evaluated under natural saline (Yazd Station, ECsoil=10-12.8 ds/m and ECwater= 9-10 ds/m) and normal (Karaj Station, ECsoil and ECwater ~2-2.5 ds/m) environments. There were remar...

Background Knowledge about single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers is extremely important in the development of genotyping assays, allowing improvements in plant breeding through marker-assisted selection. With the emergence of next generation sequencing platforms, high-density SNP discovery in the genome of plant crops becomes more achievable. In this project, we carried out whole genome ...
