Genetic Diversity Of Wilt And Root Rot Pathogens Of Chickpea, As Assessed By Rapd And Issr, Harun Bayraktar, F. Sara Dolar Jan 2009

Genetic Diversity Of Wilt And Root Rot Pathogens Of Chickpea, As Assessed By Rapd And Issr, Harun Bayraktar, F. Sara Dolar

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Intra- and interspecific polymorphisms among fungal pathogens that cause wilt and root rot on chickpea were investigated by using 30 RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) and 20 ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeats) primers. UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average) cluster analysis of RAPD and ISSR datasets using Dice's coefficient differentiated all fungal isolates from each other and revealed considerable genetic variability between the isolates. The isolates that were not easily separable using morphological characteristics were classified again according to their branching in dendrograms. A partial correlation was observed between cluster analysis and geographic origin of Fusarium solani isolates. Additionally, …


Molecular Characterization And Genetic Diversity Analysis Of Citrus Cultivars By Rapd Markers, M. N. R. Baig, Sapna Grewal, Santosh Dhillon Jan 2009

Molecular Characterization And Genetic Diversity Analysis Of Citrus Cultivars By Rapd Markers, M. N. R. Baig, Sapna Grewal, Santosh Dhillon

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to evaluate genetic similarity and inter-relationship among 18 citrus cultivars, including 13 species and 5 hybrids. Out of 40 decamer primers screened, 25 were selected which produced 250 markers; of which 231 were polymorphic and some species or cultivar specific RAPD markers. The Jaccard coefficient was used to calculate the genetic similarity. UPGMA was used to generate the dendrogram which clearly separated Jatti-Khatti from all major clusters at a similarity coefficient of 0.61. The average genetic similarity value observed across all the genotypes was 0.63, with the 2 sweet orange cultivars, Jaffa …
