Genetic diversity of Cosmos species revealed by RAPD and ISSR markers

A. Rodríguez-Bernal, Piña-Escutia, J. L., Vázquez-García, L. M., and Arzate-Fernández, A. M., Genetic diversity of Cosmos species revealed by RAPD and ISSR markers, vol. 12, pp. 6257-6267, 2013.

The genus Cosmos is native of America and is constituted by 34 species; 28 of them are endemic of Mexico. The cosmos are used as a nematicide, antimalarial, and antioxidative agent. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity among 7 cosmos species based on random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequences repeats (ISSR) markers.

Genetic relationships of Pacific abalone (Haliotidae) species determined using universal rice primer-polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting

H. S. An, Park, J. Y., Myeong, J. I., and An, C. M., Genetic relationships of Pacific abalone (Haliotidae) species determined using universal rice primer-polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting, vol. 12, pp. 6309-6318, 2013.

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with universal rice primers (URP) was used to identify species and to determine phylogenetic relationships for the 6 economically important Korean Pacific abalone species: Haliotis discus hannai, H. discus discus, H. madaka, H. gigantea, H. diversicolor supertexta, and H. diversicolor diversicolor, whose morphological differentiation is difficult.
