We screened and assessed published cotton simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers to establish a set of core SSR markers suitable for cotton major cultivars in China and analyzed genetic diversity based on the core marker set. Using a stepwise screening strategy, 12 leading cultivars for preliminary screening and 96 cultivars for rescreening were evaluated. A total of 184 polymorphic SSR markers w...

The genetic pool of the cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) at M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden (NBG) Academy Sciences Ukraine includes more than 100 specimens collected from wild and cultivated plants in Ukraine, cultivars Bulgarian, Slovak, English, Austrian Georgian selection. NBG presents a rich variety biological economic properties. Data on content anthocyanins flavonols fruits Cornus ...

For vector-borne diseases, interactions between vector, host, and pathogen can influence patterns of disease spread. In particular, previous studies suggest that host genotype may influence disease dynamics because of differences in susceptibility to the pathogen and, therefore, subsequent vector transmission efficiency from these plants. We tested this hypothesis by using the pathogenic bacte...

Drought is one of the most important natural phenomenon which affects on plant growth. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an essential fodder product which has extensive and depth roots system, this advantage enables the plant to tolerate long term drought without any damage to its regrowth process. In order to measure germination percentage and rate, root and shoot growth of 6 alfalfa cultivars (...

ABSTRACT In this study we evaluated the performance of potato cultivars in organic production system, aiming to identify those more productive and less damaged by Phytophthora infestans Diabrotica speciosa. The experiment was conducted during 2013/2014 2014/2015 crop seasons. Cultivars Ágata, Aracy Ruiva, Vitória, Clara, Eliza, Catucha Cris were assessed for severity area under disease progress...

Gutierrez et al., 2002; Lu and Myers, 2002). Genetic distances could be as low as 1 to 3%. Research in AustraGenetic diversity in modern upland cotton cultivars (Gossypium lia, China, and Pakistan obtained similar results (Multani hirsutum L.) is thought to be narrow, thus limiting genetic advance. Robust information on the genetic relatedness among currently grown and Lyon, 1995; Zuo et al., 2...

Common water-plantain (Alisma plantago-aquatica L.), arrowhead (Sagitaria trifolia L.) and Echinochloa spp. (L.) are among the most important damaging weeds of rice paddies. In this research, Curvularia lunata (Waker) Boedijn was isolated from the said weeds. Then, its effect in different growth stages, i.e. seed, 2-3 leaf stage (seedling) and also in greenhouse conditions was examined in Alism...
