Grain Amaranth is the most promising C4 dicotyledonous pseudocereal and distributed globally. It has an excellent nutritional profile adaptability against a broad range of environmental factors. These traits have renewed interest researchers breeders in exploring this underutilized orphan crop. The present study aimed to validate genome-wide SSR assess genetic diversity among 94 Amaranthus hypo...

Genetic diversity and relationships of 54 wild-grown terebinths (Pistacia terebinthus L.) were determined using 40 SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers (38 in silico polymorphic 2 markers). In analysis, 430 alleles identified. The number per locus ranged from 3 to 25 with a mean value 11 locus. values polymorphism information content (PIC) 0.34 (CUPOhBa4344) 0.91 (CUPSiBa4072) PIC 0.68. distanc...

Marker-assisted backcross breeding program was anticipated to introgress bacterial blight (BB) resistance genes into an elite fine-grain rice cultivar VGD 1. Pyramided with three (xa5, Xa13, Xa21), ADT 55 the donor parent. A parental polymorphism survey executed between VGD1 and using genome-wide simple sequence repeats (SSR) also called microsatellite markers, identify polymorphic markers. Dis...

We produced homogeneous lines of 227 pea accessions from the Nordic Genetic Resource Center via single seed descent. The genetic diversity among these, mostly Scandinavian accessions, was investigated using three microsatellite markers, A9, AC58 and AA5. microsatellites were highly informative separated 153 194 on a Neighbor Joining topology. high polymorphism information content (PIC) values b...

In the present study, genetic characterization of local buffalo population, a native to north temperate region of India in Jammu and Kashmir, was carried out for the purpose of breed characterization and assessing existing intra-population genetic diversity. A total 50 blood samples procured at random from genetically unrelated animals of two sexes and different age groups were collected from d...

Tibetan annual wild barley is rich in genetic variation. This study was aimed at the exploitation of new SSRs for the genetic diversity and phylogenetic analysis of wild barley by data mining. We developed 49 novel EST-SSRs and confirmed 20 genomic SSRs for 80 Tibetan annual wild barley and 16 cultivated barley accessions. A total of 213 alleles were generated from 69 loci with an average of 3....

Genetic diversity among fifteen finger millet genotypes was estimated using RAPD markers. Out of the initial twenty-five random primers, nine RAPD primers were found to be highly reproducible and produced a total of 60 loci of which 51 loci were polymorphic. Primer OPC18 amplified highest number of polymorphic bands. Percentage of polymorphism varied from 50% to 100% with an average of 80.8%. P...

AIM To systemically select and evaluate short tandem repeats (STRs) on the chromosome 14 and obtain new STR loci as expanded genotyping markers for forensic application. METHODS STRs on the chromosome 14 were filtered from Tandem Repeats Database and further selected based on their positions on the chromosome, repeat patterns of the core sequences, sequence homology of the flanking regions, a...

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...
