Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important crop plant which contains a high amount of oil and protein. The main goal the work was to use 13 RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers study genetic polymorphism in set 28 soybean genotypes construct dendrogram from obtained results, based on we will recommend for further breeding. In total, using markers, determined 108 fragments with average ...

Genetic variability among the genotypes of any species could be utilized for its improvement. PCR-based Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to determine the genetic diversity and relationship among 10 cucumber varieties and genotypes. Five decamer primers were used to amplify genomic DNA and the primers yielded a total of 54 bands of which 36 bands were polymorphic and 18...

In this work, the part of the squash core collection, maintained in the Greek Gene Bank, was assessed using the morphological and molecular data. Sixteen incompletely classified accessions of the squash were characterized along with an evaluation of their resistance against two isolates of Fusarium oxysporum. A molecular analysis using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers was also pe...

Morphological and molecular characterization of twenty six landraces rice and four high yielding rice accessions were studied to observe genetic diversity assessment and identification of superior genotypes for crop improvement program. Fourteen morphological and twenty seven DNA based molecular markers, simple sequence repeat (SSR), were used extensively to carry out this study. A wide range o...

The genus Curcuma is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) that has recently become popular for use as flowering pot plants, both indoors and as patio and landscape plants. We used PCR-based molecular markers (SSRs) to elucidate genetic variation and relationships between five varieties of Curcuma (Curcuma alismatifolia) cultivated in Malaysia. Of the primers tested, 8 (of 17) SSR prime...

Enicostemma littorale Blume of Gentianaceae, thriving in many parts of India, South America and some parts of Africa, serves as an important drug for various therapeutics and has been in use traditionally for many diseases. Although, it is identified as an important medicinal plant there seems to be no information on the extent and nature of genetic diversity analysis at the molecular level. Th...

A preliminary survey of genetic diversity among 34 commercially popular Carica papaya cultivars from India and abroad, 6 accessions of Vasconcellea species and 1 accession of Jacaratia spinosa, was done using 20 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The SSR profiles were used to find out total number of alleles, null and rare alleles, Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values and to calcula...

Twenty one Trypanosoma cruzi stocks from humans, domiciliary triatomines and one sylvatic animal of different areas of Paraguay were subjected to isoenzyme analysis. Thirteen enzyme systems (15 loci in total) were studied. MN cl2 (clonets 39) and SO34 cl4 (clonets 20) were used as references. Relationships between stocks were depicted by an UPGMA dendrogram constructed using the Jaccard's dista...

Genetic diversity among and between 16 cultivars of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L) Millsp.) and its wild relatives (C. albicans and C. lineatus) analysed using RAPD. Twenty two random primers with an average of 71.2% polymorphism produced 151 polymorphic bands. Cluster analysis based on these 151 RAPD markers revealed relatively low level (0.434 0.714) of genetic diversity among cultivars and hig...

Cytological characters and protein profile of 5 species (Solanum melongena, S. xanthocarpum, Datura alba,Lycopersiconesculentum and Capsicum annum) of family Solanaceae were investigated through poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis and using cytological characters viz. mitotic index and pollen viability. The present protein profile revealed that experimental genusLycopersicon is very close to th...
