Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

Brassica oleracea is an important agricultural species encompassing many vegetable crops
including cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and kale; however, it can be susceptible to a variety …

Polyploidy promotes the restructuring of merged genomes within initial generations of
resynthesized Brassica napus, possibly caused by homoeologous recombination at meiosis …

We have developed a new DH map** population for oilseed rape, named TNDH, using
genetically and phenotypically diverse parental lines. We used the population in the …

We constructed a Brassica napus genetic map with 240 simple sequence repeats (SSR)
primer pairs from private and public origins. SSR, or microsatellites, are highly polymorphic …

Freely available computer programs were arranged in a pipeline to extract microsatellites
from public citrus EST sequences, retrieved from the NCBI. In total, 3,278 bi-to hexa-type …

Genetic diversity throughout the rapeseed (Brassica napus ssp. napus) primary gene pool
was examined by obtaining detailed molecular genetic information at simple sequence …

Background High density genetic maps built with SNP markers that are polymorphic in
various genetic backgrounds are very useful for studying the genetics of agronomical traits …

The main objective in this research was the genetic analysis of heterosis in rapeseed at the
QTL level. A linkage map comprising 235 SSR and 144 AFLP markers covering 2045 cM …

Strong evidence exists for polyploidy having occurred during the evolution of the tribe
Brassiceae. We show evidence for the dynamic and ongoing diploidization process by …
