the genetic structure of the genus alburnus is not well known and the phylogenetic relationships among its species are uncertain. in the present study, simple sequence repeats (ssrs or microsatellites) were used to evaluate genetic diversity and genetic differentiation between alburnus mossulensis heckel, 1843 from kashgan river in lorestan province and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843 from gama...

BACKGROUND E. arundinaceus (Retz.) Jeswiet is a warm-season, tall-growing perennial species native to much southern portion in China. The grass has been extensively used in sugarcane breeding and is recently targeted as a bioenergy feedstock crop. However, information on the genetic structure of the Chinese wild germplasm is limited. Knowledge of genetic variation within and among populations i...

Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.], an important turfgrass used in public parks, home lawns, golf courses and sports fields, is widely distributed in China. In the present study, sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used to assess genetic diversity and population structure among 157 indigenous bermudagrass genotypes from 20 provinces in China. The application of 2...

Dendrobium officinale is an endangered orchid from southeast Asia that is known for its medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine. We constructed an integrated genetic linkage map of an F(1) population derived from an interspecific cross between D. officinale and D. aduncum (both, 2n = 38), using expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats (EST-SSR) and sequence-related amplified ...

mahaleb (prunus mahalab l.) is used as a rootstock for cherries in iran and many other countries. in this research, rapd markers were used to determine the genetic diversity among eight genotypes of mahaleb evaluated in two separate research grardens in karaj, iran. these genotypes are used as mother plants for seed production. totally 40 random primers were examined for pcr reactions on the te...

out of fifty-two iranian nonaflatoxigenic strains of aspergillus flavus, which were collected from various substrates (soil and kernel) and sources (peanut, corn and pistachio), fifteen representatives were selected according to their different geographical origins (six provinces: guilan and golestan, ardebil, fars, kerman and semnan) and vegetative compatibility groups (vcgs, ir1 to ir15) for ...

Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) and Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 26 genotypes from 15 Chinese wild grape species and one interspecific hybrid of Vitis L. A total of 90 alleles were amplified by ten SSR primers, and primer heterozygosity varied from 0.653 to 0.883. Twelve out of 169 SRAP primer combinations were selected for SRAP anal...

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an economically important leafy vegetable crop in many countries. This is the first case study of using SRAP markers to analyze genetic diversity of Iranian spinach accessions. Eight SRAP primer combinations generated 88 scorable bands ranging from 50 to 1000 bp, among which 73 were polymorphic, with an average of 82.9 polymorphic bands per primer combination a...

A hybrid F1 population of ‘Maguili × Jiaohesanyuehong’ was created by crossing between the very late ripening cultivar ‘Maguili’ as the maternal parent and the very early ripening cultivar ‘Jiaohesanyuehong’ as the paternal parent. Seventy-six randomly chosen F1 individuals were used as the mapping population. SRAP and AFLP molecular marker analysis were carried out with the mapping population ...
