A study was carried out to identify of different cultivars and monitor somaclonal variations of banana during rapid mass micropropgation using Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) marker. DNA templates from 30 Banana cultivars were evaluated using 45 primers. Genetic diversity is analyzed by one statistical procedure: hierarchical classification. Total number of bands varied between the various...

Spine gourd (Momordica dioica Roxb.) is a highly nutritious vegetable crop with dioecious reproductive nature. Forty-eight spine genotypes including 32 female and 16 male were assessed for molecular divergence to establish phenotypic relationships using ISSR markers. Twenty-two out of total 25 primers studied yielded 88 bands which 80 polymorphic, three them being unique in their profile. Each ...

The genus Cinnamomum of the family Lauraceae is an economically important crop. Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum syn. C. zeylanicum) has exceptional position in global market. In addition to cultivated species, Sri Lanka home seven endemic wild capparu-coronde, citriodorum, dubium, litseifolium, ovalifolium, rivulorum, and sinharajaense. Nevertheless, species delimitation not been successful w...

Abstract Variety improvement program of citrus in Indonesia has still been prioritized, therefore, characterization and identification varieties within and/or among species are absolutely required order to obtain desired based on market demand needs. The aim this research was determine morphological characteristics, flowering periods, the genetic relationship four species. This study carried ou...

There is scanty information on tamarind’s genetic diversity in Easter Kenya. The objective of this study was to determine the 64 tamarind accessions from Eastern Kenya using 12 Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. DNA extracted young apical leaves modified CTAB method and amplified standard PCR. data collected were scored as presence (1) or absence (0) bands then compared 100bp ladder a...

Almond is considered the most common and essential nut grown in rainfed area. It has many species wildly distributed Iraqi Kurdistan region, which are called Chaqala by local people. To understand improve characteristics of cultivated almonds, a comprehensive study wild almonds terms population structure genetic diversity needed to transfer new traits into domesticated almonds. So, twelve diffe...

Mungbean improvement via hybridization requires the identification of true F(1) hybrids from controlled crosses before further generations of selfing/crossing and selection. We utilized inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers for identifying putative F(1) hybrids from six cross combinations whose morphological characteristics were very similar to those of their respective female paren...

Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis was used to develop fish species-specific molecular markers for four Tilapia species (Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis aureus, Tilapia zillii and Sarotherodon galilaeus). 12 ISSR primers were tested to assess the effectiveness of ISSR analysis in discriminating among the four applied fish species. Some ISSR markers were detected as species-specific...
