The genus Theobroma comprises several trees species native to the Amazon. Theobroma cacao L. plays a key economic role mainly in the chocolate industry. Both cultivated and wild forms are described within the genus. Variations in genome size and chromosome number have been used for prediction purposes including the frequency of interspecific hybridization or inference about evolutionary relatio...

Background: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the most nutritious crops having versatile use. Its yield mostly exaggerated by two foliar fungal diseases i.e., early and late leaf spot. In present investigation 96 germplasm lines were screened for spot along with diverse biochemical parameters including protein, oil, fatty acids, proline sugar contents. Methods: Early have been under fie...

The allelic variations in a diversity panel of 353 potato accessions, including 256 accessions belonging to Solanum tuberosum sub spp. tuberosum, 49 andigena, and 48 Indian varieties were analysed using 25 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. SSR profiles revealed high levels polymorphism distinctness among the studied. A total 343 alleles markers observed highly diverse tetraploid accessions....

Background: Northern Italy has an enormous heritage of hop biodiversity that need to be exploited and studied. The preservation valorization through the characterization existent is a primary goal European Green Deal 2023–2030. aim this study was acquire information on Italian wild hops. Methods: Genetic sixty accessions done resorting Single Sequence Repeated (SSR) markers. Phytochemical hops ...

The Latvian population of the Forest Dormouse is small and isolated, situated far from main distribution range this species. located in south-eastern region Latvia, close to Belarusian border. Sixty-three nest-boxes were throughout area captured forest dormouse individuals sampled for genetic analysis. Animal age, sex, coordinates place capture recorded. DNA was extracted 120 using QIAamp Mini ...

Nine commercial varieties of pineapples in Malaysia (Josapine, Maspine, MD2, Sarawak, Gandul, N36, Moris, Crystal Honey and Yankee) were collected from various places Peninsular analysed for cultivar identifications using nine simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total 27 alleles have been observed which ranged 2 to 5 with an average 3 per locus. The polymorphic information content (PIC) val...

Maize (Zea mays everta) is preferred as a good dietary in Turkey and it important to know its genetic diversity improve the yield. Genetic markers are very determining popcorn populations. The aim of this study was evaluate landraces populations by simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers. A hundred seventy five accessions from thirty grown were analyzed using twenty SSR As result molecular analys...

With a significant economic value, pepper (Capsicum annuum L., Solanaceae) represents major vegetable crop worldwide. Simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers and expressed tags (EST-SSR) are powerful tools for genetic studies the breeding of pepper. In this study, variability among local species was assessed by using 8 EST/SSR markers. The varieties were collected locally, based on old sorts, hyb...

BACKGROUND Korean native chicken (KNC) is a well-known breed due to its superior meat taste. This breed, however, owing to a low growth rate, has a high market price. In order to overcome this disadvantage, the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) in Korea developed a commercial KNC breed, named Woorimatdag version 2 (WM2), an upgraded version of the Woorimatdag (WM1) breed and the WM2 w...
