In this study sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) profiles were analysed and differences were confirmed by a unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) analysis between bifidobacterial species, such as B. infanis ATCC1567, B. bifidum Bb-12, B. longum KN29, B. catenulatum KD14, and B. animalis BI30. Two dimensional electrophoresis separation pr...

Bustam BM (2010) Systematic studies of Australian stipoid grasses (Austrostipa) based on micro-morphological and molecular characteristics. Biodiversitas 11: 9-14. This research is one of many studies on stipoid grasses organized by the International Stipeae Working Group (ISWG). This research tested the subgeneric classification of Austrostipa proposed by Jacobs and Everett (1996) and tested h...

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...

For a study of diversity and genetic structuring in Melipona quadrifasciata, 61 colonies were collected in eight locations in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. By means of PCR analysis, 119 ISSR bands were obtained, 80 (68%) being polymorphic. H(e) and H (B) were 0.20 and 0.16, respectively. Two large groups were obtained by the UPGMA method, one formed by individuals from Januária, Urucuia, R...

Soil quality is an important factor and maintained by inhabited microorganisms. Soil physicochemical characteristics determine indigenous microbial population and rice provides food security to major population of the world. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of physicochemical variables on bacterial community composition and diversity in conventional paddy fields which could refl...

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...

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar e determinar os descritores morfológicos de acessos ipeca. Foram avaliados 66 ipeca conservados in vivo na Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, em Belém, PA, totalizando 330 indivíduos, para cinco caracteres quantitativos. Os dados foram submetidos as analises multivariadas, realizado a seleção direta com reanálise agrupadas dois métodos base distância Euclidiana méd...

The relative efficiencies of the maximum-parsimony (MP), UPGMA, and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods in obtaining the correct tree (topology) for restriction-site and restriction-fragment data were studied by computer simulation. In this simulation, six DNA sequences of 16,000 nucleotides were assumed to evolve following a given model tree. The recognition sequences of 20 different six-base restri...

The present study carried out to with a view characterize and validate the RAPD marker’s genetic diversity at morphological molecular levels in thirty cultivars of onion (Allium cepa L.). This work aimed determine their important traits, DNA polymorphism decipher variation. agro-morphological characters such as germination percentage, plant height, leaf colour, waxiness, foliage attitude, bulk ...
