ISSR Primers (issr + primer)
Selected AbstractsUse of RAPD and ISSR Markers in Detection of Genetic Variation and Population Structure among Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris Isolates on Chickpea in TurkeyJOURNAL OF PHYTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 3 2008H. Bayraktar Abstract Genetic variation among the isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, the causal agent of chickpea wilt worldwide, was analysed using pathogenicity tests and molecular markers , random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) polymorphism. Hundred and eight isolates were obtained from diseased chickpea plants in 13 different provinces of Turkey, out of which 74 isolates were assessed using 30 arbitrary decamer primers and 20 ISSR primers. Unweighted pair-grouped method by arithmetic average cluster analysis of RAPD, ISSR and RAPD + ISSR datasets provided a substantially similar discrimination among Turkish isolates and divided into three major groups. Group 1, 2 and 3 consisted of 41, 18 and 15 isolates, respectively. These methods revealed a considerable genetic variation among Turkish isolates, but no correlation with regard to the clustering of isolates from different geographic regions. Analysis of molecular variance confirmed that most genetic variability resulted from the differences among isolates within regions. Our results also indicated that the low-genetic differentiation (FST) and high gene flow (Nm) among populations had a significant effect on the emergence and evolutionary development of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris. This is the first report on genetic diversity and population structure of F. oxysporum isolates on chickpea in Turkey. [source] Genetic diversity revealed by morphological traits and ISSR markers in hazelnut germplasm from northern SpainPLANT BREEDING, Issue 4 2010J. J. Ferreira With 3 figures and 4 tables Abstract Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) has been a traditional crop in northern Spain. As a result of germplasm exploration over 3 years (2003,05), 90 trees were selected in this region. This study describes phenotypic variation in nut and husk traits and investigates genetic relationships among selections and cultivars using inter simple sequences repeat (ISSR) markers. The local selections were phenotypically diverse and many had characteristics appreciated by the market. Eleven ISSR primers, which generated 66 polymorphic bands, were used in the analysis. The graph from principal coordinates analysis of the molecular marker data showed two main groups, one for the local selections and the other for the standard cultivars. The dendrogram generated from UPGMA cluster analysis showed the same two main groups. The results suggest that the local accessions are closely related to each other, but are relatively distant from the standard cultivars of eastern Spain, Italy and the USA. Selections from northern Spain may be directly useful as new cultivars or alternatively as parents in breeding programmes. The collection and preservation of this genetic diversity is important. [source] Identification of a SCAR marker linked to a recessive male sterile gene (Tems) and its application in breeding of marigold (Tagetes erecta)PLANT BREEDING, Issue 1 2009Y. H. He Abstract In marigold, an F2 segregation population of 167 plants was constructed from a cross of a line (M525A) carrying the male sterility trait × an inbred line (f53f). In line M525A, the male sterility trait was controlled by the recessive gene, Tems. The intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) techniques combined with bulked segregant analysis were used to develop markers linked to the trait. From a survey of the 38 ISSR primers and 170 SRAP primer combinations, only one SRAP marker that was closely linked to the target trait was identified and successfully converted into sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker that was located within 2.4 cM from Tems locus. The marker was validated with five other two-type lines and in each case the male fertile plants were reliably identified. This SCAR marker therefore permits the efficient marker-assisted selection of male sterile individuals in breeding programmes of marigold and will greatly facilitate the breeding of F1 cultivars. [source] Genetic relationships of sesame germplasm collection as revealed by inter-simple sequence repeatsPLANT BREEDING, Issue 3 2002D. H. Kim Abstract Inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) polymorphism was used to determine genetic relationships among 75 Sesamum indicum L. accessions of Korean and exotic sesame. Fourteen reliable ISSR primers were selected for the assessment of genetic diversity, yielding 79 amplification products. Of these polymerase chain reaction products, 33% revealed polymorphism among the 75 accessions. Genetic distances ranged from 0 to 0.255, with a mean genetic distance of 0.0687. The 75 accessions were divided into seven groups on the basis of unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) cluster analysis. The largest group consisted of 25 Korean cultivars, eight Korean breeding lines and 17 world-wide accessions. The other groups included 25 accessions, several of which contained useful traits. The dendrogram did not indicate any clear division among sesame accessions based on their geographical origin. However, all Korean sesame cultivars except ,Namsankkae' were clustered in the same group, indicating a narrow gene pool. Some of the Korean breeding lines were spread along the dendrogram, showing enlargement of genetic diversity. The genetic diversity data uncovered in this study can be used in future breeding programmes. [source] Analysis of population structure of Rosellinia necatrix on Cyperus esculentus by mycelial compatibility and inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR)PLANT PATHOLOGY, Issue 1 2010J. Armengol Genetic diversity was studied in a population of 24 isolates of Rosellinia necatrix obtained from Cyperus esculentus and 16 from other hosts by means of mycelial compatibility groups (MCGs) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) techniques. All isolates obtained from C. esculentus belonged to a unique MCG, irrespective of their geographical origin or year of isolation, and were incompatible with the isolates from other hosts. ISSR analysis gave results which were in agreement with the MCG determination; selected ISSR primers grouped a subset of eight representative isolates from C. esculentus in a unique cluster. The homogeneity found within the population of R. necatrix from C. esculentus in Valencia province could suggest that the pathogen was introduced recently and has spread further via infected tubers inadvertently used as propagating material, as well as by cull tubers swept away by irrigation water. [source] Application of random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter-simple sequence repeat markers in the genus CrataegusANNALS OF APPLIED BIOLOGY, Issue 2 2009H. Dai Abstract Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) has a long history as an ornamental and a source of medicine. We report the use of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers to determine genetic relationships in the genus Crataegus. Twenty-eight accessions, including eight species (Crataegus pinnatifida, Crataegus bretschneideri, Crataegus maximowiczii, Crataegus kansuensis, Crataegus altaica, Crataegus songarica, Crataegus dahurica and Crataegus sanguinea) and two botanical varieties (C. pinnatifida var. major and C. maximowiczii var. ninganensis) were analysed. Twelve RAPD primers reproducibly and strongly amplified 128 fragments of which 116 were polymorphic; similarly, 13 ISSR primers generated 127 products of which 119 were polymorphic. Dendrograms based on unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average analysis were constructed from both the RAPD and the ISSR data. Similarity coefficient based on RAPD and ISSR markers ranged from 0.22 to 0.98 and 0.23 to 0.98, respectively. The range in similarity coefficient indicated that the genus has a high level of genetic diversity. The Mantel test on the similarity matrices produced by RAPD and ISSR markers gave r = 0.86, showing high correlation between RAPD and ISSR markers in their ability to detect genetic relationships between Crataegus accessions. RAPD and ISSR appear to be reliable methods for the analysis of genetic relationships among hawthorns. [source] | ||||||||||
