The exploitation of DNA polymorphisms by an ever-increasing number of molecular marker
technologies has begun to have an impact on plant genome research and breeding …

Publisher Summary Descriptive names given to landraces or cultivated varieties illustrate
the practical necessity for farmers to identify sources of seed of proved performance. In many …

This exciting new book describes the use of DNA fingerprinting and its application in a wide
area of plant and fungal research. It presents a thorough theoretical introduction to DNA …

Microsatellites have emerged as an important system of molecular markers. We evaluated
the potential of microsatellites for use in genetic studies of peach [Prunus persica (L.) …

Screening of an apple genomic library with (GA) 15 and (GT) 15 probes demonstrated that
these repeats are abundant, occurring about every 120 and 190 kb, respectively …

In this study, two microsatellite-based methodologies (SSR and ISSR) were evaluated for
potential use in fingerprinting and determination of the similarity degree between 41 …

Almost three decades ago Alec Jeffreys published his seminal Nature papers on the use of
minisatellite probes for DNA fingerprinting of humans (Jeffreys and colleagues Nature 1985 …

Eleven apple cultivars were differentiated using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) markers obtained by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The variability of the …

Abstract Background Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is one of the most important fruit tree
crops of temperate areas, with great economic and cultural value. Apple cultivars can be …

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers have been used to characterise
cocoa clones representing the three main cultivated subpopulations: Criollo, Forastero and …
