Molecular markers are effective tools used to ‘flag’ the location of a specific gene or inheritance definite trait. Markers unique DNA fragments that can be identified inside entire genome. The development molecular combined with high throughput technologies have paved way for achieving desirable traits as well induced biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in plant, which enhanced crop breeding. ...

This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of SCoT and DAMD molecular markers in genetic diversity  of three moss species and compare them with ISSR marker. Another objective was to evaluate the suitability of these DNA markers in species identification (delimitation) in three moss species, including Neckera complanata, Homalothecium sericeum and Neckera cris...

Objective: Flowering Time (FT) in cereals controlled by genes that had a main factor on plant development. Methods: Genetic and phenotypic diversity of four flowering time genes (FT2, FT3, FT4, Ppd-H1) in 19 genotypes of cultivated and wild barley was evaluated and a total of 107 alleles were amplified. Genotypes based on days to flowering time and molecular data were grouped into earl...

background: indirect genetic diagnosis using polymorphic dna markers can detect carriers of hemophilia a. this technique is preferable in developing countries because of its simplicity and cost effectiveness compared to direct mutation analysis. in the present study, we examined usefulness of intragenic marker bcl i restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) at intron 18, for carrier detec...

Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a mutually beneficial association very commonly found among most vascular plants. Formation of mycorrhiza happens only between compatible partners and predicting this is often accomplished through a trial and error process. We investigated the possibility of using expression of symbiosis specific genes as markers to predict the formation of ectomycorrhiza. We used antib...

Introduction Information about genetic diversity is an invaluable aid in crop improvement programmes. In literature, a large number of methods are available to analyze genetic diversity in populations. To have an idea on genetic diversity, much attention has to be given on multivariate statistical techniques applied in genetic data. The data often involve a number of numerical measurements and ...

The genus Oenothera has an outstanding scientific tradition. It has been a model for studying aspects of chromosome evolution and speciation, including the impact of plastid nuclear co-evolution. A large collection of strains analyzed during a century of experimental work and unique genetic possibilities allow the exchange of genetically definable plastids, individual or multiple chromosomes, a...

Objective(s): Mutations in the UGT1A1 gene are responsible for hyperbilirubinemia syndromes including Crigler-Najjar type 1 and 2 and Gilbert syndrome. In view of the genetic heterogeneity and involvement of large numbers of the disease causing mutations, the application of polymorphic markers in the UGTA1 gene could be useful in molecular diagnosis of the disease. Materials and Methods: In the...
