SCAR marker for sex identification of Pistacia chinensis Bunge (Anacardiaceae)

Q. Sun, Yang, X., and Li, R., “SCAR marker for sex identification of Pistacia chinensis Bunge (Anacardiaceae)”, vol. 13, pp. 1395-1401, 2014.

Pistacia chinensis Bunge is a dioecious plant that originated in China, and its sex cannot be identified at the early stage of cultivation by only its appearance. Recent studies show that the seed of P. chinensis is an ideal feedstock for biofuel production. To guide the cultivation of this energy plant scientifically, a new method is urgently needed to identify the sex of P. chinensis seedlings.

Genetic characterization of Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum isolates from Turkey by using random-amplified polymorphic DNA

E. Yörük and Albayrak, G., “Genetic characterization of Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum isolates from Turkey by using random-amplified polymorphic DNA”, vol. 12, pp. 1360-1372, 2013.

Five Fusarium graminearum and 12 F. culmorum isolates, primarily pathogenic species of Fusarium head blight, were obtained from naturally infected wheat from various agro-ecological regions of Turkey. Genotyping of the isolates was carried out using random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Sixty-five 10-mer oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify the RAPD markers. Among them, 50 primers produced strong and reproducible DNA amplicons. The remaining primers generated either insufficient or no amplification patterns.

Estimation of genetic distance based on RAPDs between 11 cotton accessions varying in heat tolerance

A. I. Khan, Khan, I. A., Awan, F. S., Sadaqat, H. A., and Bahadur, S., “Estimation of genetic distance based on RAPDs between 11 cotton accessions varying in heat tolerance”, vol. 10, pp. 96-101, 2011.

The genetic distance of 11 cotton genotypes varying in heat tolerance was studied using RAPD markers. Fifty-three random decamer primers were used for the estimation of genetic distance. Among the 53 RAPD primers, which were custom synthesized by GeneLink Inc., UK, 32 were polymorphic and 21 were monomorphic. The 32 polymorphic primers produced 273 fragments, with a mean of 8.3 fragments per primer. The number of polymorphic bands produced in the 11 cotton accessions ranged from 1 to 31.
