Molecular markers are an important tool for plant breeding. Since the 1980s, in response to technology development, molecular marker approaches have been further diversified. The establishment of new-generation sequencing and high-throughput phenotyping has greatly decreased time genotype large numbers individuals. For breeders who not very familiar with techniques want catch up advances field,...

paris polyphylla smith var. yunnanensis (liliaceae) is an important traditional medicinal plant of the yunnan province in china. however, the genomic information regarding this plant is limited. to further understand its molecular background, we conducted illumina hiseq 2000 second-generation sequencing of this plant species. approximately 30,198,679 reads with an average length of 202 bases we...

puccinia recondite (leaf rust) is an endemic disease in iran; this disease can affect the productivity and quality of wheat, that occurring in all wheat growing regions. genetic resistance to leaf rust of wheat is the most important strategy to control the diseases and 51 leaf rust resistance genes (lr gene) are reported in wheat to provide resistance to leaf rust. this study aims to identify p...

Investigating genetic diversity in plant species provides a platform for further insight in plant breeding and conservation. Therefore, in the present study genetic diversity of 13 geographically isolated genotypes of Zhumeria majdea, as a seriously endangered medicine plant growing exclusively in Hormozgan province (South of Iran) was studied. To do so, the leaf samples of Z. majdea were colle...

The genetic diversity among 56 almond (Prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. Analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. Out of 35 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. R...
