Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. monococcum) is an ancient diploid wheat species with many useful traits and used as a gene discovery model. In this research, total of 41 tetraploid accessions were tested using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A 33 genotypes T. along four each (T. dicoccon durum) plant material. The analysis utilized 10 polymorphic markers, including number alleles ave...

Snapmelon (Cucumis melo var. momordica) is native to India and many of its accessions have been used as source for disease and insect pest resistance, worldwide. Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate intra-specific genetic diversity among twenty-two snapmelon accessions, variable for fruit cracking, peeling patterns, fruit shape, and flesh colour. Of the 32 ISSR mark...

The present study insights into the interrelationships and taxonomic segregation of some Polypodiaceous fern taxa based on leaf architecture foliar micro-morphology. Twenty-seven species were examined valuable qualitative quantitative data obtained to generate UPGMA dendrogram. A dichotomous key differentiating was prepared. Results reveal that even though have overlapping characters, certain s...

We used a very large dataset (>40% of all species) from the endemic-rich Cape Floristic Region (CFR) to explore the impact of different weighting techniques, coefficients to calculate similarity among the cells, and clustering approaches on biogeographical regionalisation. The results were used to revise the biogeographical subdivision of the CFR. We show that weighted data (down-weighting wide...

Phytophthora colocasiae that causes taro leaf blight is one of the most devastating diseases of taro which is widely distributed in India. Inter and intra-specific genetic diversity among P. colocasiae isolates collected from same field was assessed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marker. Seven primer pairs produced 431 markers, of which 428 (99.2 %) were polymorphic. Consid...

The Indian black berry (Syzygium cumini Skeels) has a great nutraceutical and medicinal properties. As in other fruit crops, the fruit characteristics are important attributes for differentiation were also determined for different accessions of S. cumini. The fruit weight, length, breadth, length: breadth ratio, pulp weight, pulp content, seed weight and pulp: seed ratio significantly varied in...

This study was conducted to estimate genetic relationships among banana clones growing in Turkey via some morphological parameters and two molecular marker systems. In terms of yield such as bunch weight, hand number, fruit total Grand Nain (GN) clone came the forefront with highest values. It followed by Azman (AZ), Dwarf Cavendish (DC), Erdemli Yerli (EY) clones, respectively. To see variatio...

Genetic variation and relationship among 28 mango germplasm were analyzed using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Out of 20 primers screened, four were selected, which gave 50 clear and bright fragments, out of which 48 fragments were considered polymorphic. The proportion of polymorphic loci and gene diversity values across all loci were 96% and 0.29, respectively. The UPGMA dendrogram ...

Twenty four apricot genotypes with different geographic origins, maintained in the germplasm collections of Central Institute of Temperate Horticulture, Srinagar, India, were studied by means of RAPD markers. The aim of the study was to determine the genetic relationship amongst genetypes from different eco-geographical regions. Fourty three decamer primers were used in the study. All of them w...

Thirty-one species of Mammillaria were selected to study the molecular phylogeny using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. High amount of mucilage (gelling polysaccharides) present in Mammillaria was a major obstacle in isolating good quality genomic DNA. The CTAB (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide) method was modified to obtain good quality genomic DNA. Twenty-two random decamer pr...
