Iron is one of the most important nutrients in the human diet. According to the high consumption of staple foods such as wheat, the deficiency of iron in these crops would lead to nutritional disorders and related complications. To identify microsatellite markers associated with wheat grain iron content,38Iranian prevalent wheat genotypes were assessed using 30 pairs of genomic and EST microsat...

Association Analysis for Important Quantitative and Morphological Traits in Cultivars Advanced Lines of Soybean (Glycine max (L.)) using Microsatellite Markers

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Eleven nuclear and four plastid microsatellite markers were screened for two gypsum endemic species, Oenothera gayleana and O. hartwegii subsp. filifolia, and tested for cross-amplification in the remaining 11 taxa within Oenothera sect. Calylophus (Onagraceae). METHODS AND RESULTS Microsatellite markers were tested in two to three populations spanning the ranges of both ...

This study aims to provide a basis for the evaluation, protection, and utilization of the genetic resources of Chinese Yellow Quails by analyzing the polymorphism of these quail groups with nine microsatellite markers using the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A total of 48 alleles were identified from nine microsatellite markers, with an average of 5.3 alleles per marker. The average hetero...

Highly informative genetic markers are essential for efficient management of cattle populations, as well as for food safety. After a decade of domination by microsatellite markers, a new type of genetic marker, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), has recently appeared on the scene. In the present study, the exclusion power of both kinds of markers with regards to individual identification and...

objective(s): genetic analysis of two consanguineous pakistani families with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis was performed with the goal to establish genotype-phenotype correlation. materials and methods: genomic dna extraction had been done from peripheral blood samples. extracted dna was then subjected to pcr (polymerase chain reaction) for amplification. linkage analysis was perf...

Ceratocystis fimbriata sensu lato represents a complex of cryptic and commonly plant pathogenic species that are morphologically similar. Species in this complex have been described using morphological characteristics, intersterility tests and phylogenetics. Microsatellite markers have been useful to study the population structure and origin of some species in the complex. In this study we sequ...
