El frijol caupí (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) es una leguminosa con alto valor nutricional y el conocimiento de su diversidad potencial agronómico contribuye a establecer las bases para conservación uso sostenible. Por lo anterior, objetivo este trabajo fue identificar características morfológicas comportamiento 20 cultivares en Yucatán. experimento se realizó campo, mediante un diseño bloques...

An approach of building phylogenetic trees is to define a distance function based on amino acid sequences of distinct proteins. The aim of this approach is to determine a weighted tree topology that approximates the entire functional similarity relations between proteins, defined by a distance function. In this case – according to the definition the similarity relation has a symmetric property....

We sampled six olive cultivars (Tavli Sati, Sati, Gorvela, Sacakli Otur, Butko, and Otur) from Coruh Valley, located in the northeast part of Turkey, and characterized them using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Some morphological and biochemical characteristics are also determined. Six AFLP primer combinations were used for molecular characterization and 66 AFLP markers w...

In this study random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to infer the genetic profile of the black francolin (Francolinus francolinus, Galliformes) (N = 23) collected in five Pakistani areas (Alipur, Bait Suvai, Chakwal, Haroonabad and Rakni). A total of 269 different RAPD bands were obtained using fifteen primers. Estimates of the percentage of overall polymorphism (87.79%), Sha...

The Coruh Valley, located in Northeastern Turkey, is one of the most important centers of diversity in pomegranate in Turkey. In this study, we attempted to characterize 19 promising pomegranate genotypes originating from the Coruh Valley in using fluorescent dye AFLP markers and capillary electrophoresis. Four AFLP primer combinations were used, generating a total of 297 fragments, 213 of whic...

Twelve Aspergillus sp. strains producing glucose dehydrogenase were identified using ITS region sequencing. Based on the sequences obtained, the genomic relationship of the analyzed strains was investigated. Moreover, partial gdh gene sequences were determined and aligned. The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method was applied for genomic fingerprinting of twelve Aspergillus isola...

Nicotiana alata is an ornamental plant. It is a member of family Solanasea. Tobacco (Nicotiana spp.) is one of the most important commercial crops in the world. Wild Nicotiana species, as a store house of genes for several diseases and pests, in addition to genes for several important phytochemicals and quality traits which are not present in cultivated varieties. Inter simple sequence repeat D...

This exploratory study determined the epidemiological characteristics of Staphylococcus epidermidis from near touch sites and blood cultures in one Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between July and October 2009 in a large teaching hospital in Brazil. Five different touch sites around the environment of two different patients were sampled over four days and 24 blood cultures from 24 patients were obtai...

To assess the genetic status of this species, the genetic diversity of wild Macrobrachium nipponense from seven geographic locations in the Yellow River basin were investigated using 20 polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci. The genetic diversity between populations was indicated by the mean number of alleles per locus and mean observed heterozygosity (H) and the expected H, which was arranged fr...

In the present study, RAPD-PCR was used to assess genetic diversity of the rye including landrances and new rye cultivars coming from Central Europe and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (SUN). Five arbitrary random primers were used to determine RAPD polymorphism in the set of 38 rye genotypes. These primers amplified altogether 43 different DNA fragments with an average number of 8.6 fr...
