Abstract: The objective of this work was to induce and detect somaclonal variation in arracacha (Arracacia xanthorrhiza) plants regenerated via indirect morphogenesis, in order to evaluate the potential of this technique to produce new genotypes for breeding purposes of this crop. Calli were induced from petiole segments on Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium supplied with 0.1 mg L-1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The regeneration of plants via indirect morphogenesis was carried out on half-strength MS medium without plant growth regulators. Fifteen randomly chosen plants were subjected to flow cytometry and “inter-simple sequence repeat” (ISSR) analysis. Ploidy level remained stable in all tested regenerants (2n=4x=44), with no changes in the genome. Eighteen ISSR primers produced a total of 1,584 fragments in all samples. Two ISSR primers produced four polymorphic fragments in 26.7% of the tested samples. Somaclonal variation in arracacha is a result of plant regeneration via indirect morphogenesis and can be detected by ISSR markers.

Among ten slow-growing protoclones of Agaricus bisporus (J. Lge) Imbach, all appressed colonies showed slower growth rate and spawn run, and inability to produce fruiting bodies in substrate. Seven of 40 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers amplified 78 reproducible fragments, 48.93% were polymorphic, each producing 7 to 16 bands ranging from 0.10 to 2.10 kbp, sufficient to differentiate the protoclones from each other. Appressed protoclones were homoallelic at a number of loci that were heteroallelic in the parent, suggesting that they represented rare homokaryons. Thus, using morphological characters along with ISSR, polymorphisms could be useful for quick, easy, and accurate in distinguishing homo- and heterokaryotic isolates. Key words: Agaricus bisporus (J.

Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers are versatile and used in a number of applications viz. genetic diversity estimation, phylogenetic relationship and gene tagging in different crops. In coconut, the ISSR markers are being reported here for the first time. In the present paper, thirty-five  primers targeting to amplify the inter microsatellite  regions were screened  using  thirty  different  coconut  germplasm  accessions.  The  ISSR  primers  were evaluated based on polymorphism information content and marker index.  Out of 35 primers screened,  19 primers  produced  clear amplification  pattern.  The polymorphism  information content varied between 0.019 and 0.386, whereas, the marker index ranged from 0.019 to 5.673  among  the  primers.    Based  on  the  high  marker  index,  five  and  ten  primers  were selected.  The similarity  matrices  were constructed  separately  for five, ten and 19 primers using NYSYS software and the correlation was tested using Mantel’s test. There was high correlation  between five and ten primers with 19 primers. Hence, the primers with higher marker index (5 and 10 primers) were regarded as informative  primers. These informative primers can be used to develop more polymorphic markers in coconut for rapid screening of germplasm materials.

Genetic diversity was assessed in 50 accessions of seven <italic>Lens</italic> species using ISSR markers. The collection included accessions of the cultivated species <italic>L. culinaris</italic> and six wild species, <italic>viz</italic>., <italic>L. culinaris</italic> ssp. <italic>odemensis, L. culinaris</italic> ssp. <italic>orientalis</italic>, <italic>L.</italic> <italic>orientalis, L. nigricans, L. lamottei</italic> and <italic>L. ervoides.</italic> The 23 ISSR primers amplified a total of 368 bands with an average of 16 bands per primer. Maximum number of 20 bands was amplified using each of the primers ISSR-34 and ISSR-835. All the primers were found to be polymorphic. PIC values ranged from 0.02 to 0.80. The primers ISSR-807, ISSR- 809, ISSR- 827, ISSR- 847, ISSR-28 and ISSR- 37 were found to be very useful for analyzing the molecular diversity of the genus <italic>Lens</italic>. Cluster Analysis and Principal Coordinates Analyses placed the 50 accessions into two groups and complemented each other.

Abstract Mulberry (Morus spp.) is a cross-pollinating and highly hybridized plant of which productivity are greatly varied in different varieties. We analysed molecular distinction among four mulberry species and varieties cultivated in DPR Korea by using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. ITS sequences didn’t represent a remarkable interspecific distinction among four mulberry species used in our study, suggesting that it could not be employed to identify them. ISSR analysis using 16 random primers generated 158 different markers ranging from 100 to 4000 bp in size. The results showed the inter-specific genetic variation (55.34%) was slightly higher than intra-specific genetic variation(44.66%), with comparatively low average number of migrants per generation (Nm) among populations (0.3886). Using ISSR primers selected in this study, in the future, the suitable breeding strategy might be established in raising of elite mulberry varieties on the basis of interspecific hybridization.

Meta-Topolin (mT) is one of the lesser-known and only recently discovered cytokinins that can be used as an alternative to the commonly used benzyladenine (BA). The experiment aimed to compare the effects of BA and mT on the regeneration from explants of Daphne mezereum, on the levels of several chemical components, the catalase activity, and to assess genetic diversity of microcuttings. The Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) and the woody plant medium (WPM) were used, enhanced with auxin and 1 mg·L−1 mT or 1 mg·L−1 BA. The results suggest that mT has a more positive effect on shoot regeneration. It also positively affected the levels of various compounds which are generally taken as indicative of micro cutting conditions. The levels of chlorophyll and carbohydrates were the highest in microcuttings from the WPM with 0.1 mg·L−1 NAA. Total soluble proteins and amino acids were the highest in plants from the MS medium with 1 mg·L−1 mT. Increased levels of hydrogen peroxide and catalase activity were observed on media with 1 mg·L−1 BA. Screening with 30 randomly amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPD) and 20 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers demonstrated a considerable level of genetic variation among regenerating plants. This variation is attributed to the condition of the starting material (seed propagated); there were no indications that the two cytokinins tested contributed to increased somaclonal variation.

The two main secondary metabolites in Glycyrrhiza Species are Glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin. They are considered as active ingredients . The content of these compounds showed variation in different species. Standard chemical fingerprints were generated from cultivated Glycyrrhiza uralensis, G. inflate and G. glabra, which could be identification markers. Five efficient inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers were screened and optimized for detecting the genetic diversity in three cultivated Glycyrrhiza uralensis, G. inflate and G. glabra. By using two characteristic peaks compare with three cultivars, Glycyrrhiza uralensis and G. glabra were bigger similarity than G. inflate. The results is in accordance with the results by ISSR markers. The higher genetic diversity in G. inflate was useful to more broad breeding. Our result suggest that provides an optimized method for assessment genetic diversity of cultivated Glycyrrhiza uralensis, G. inflate and G. glabra using Chemical fingerprint and ISSR markers which is useful for further investigation in breeding.

In this study genetic diversity and interspecific relationships of 11 Allium L. species from Khorassan province of Iran including 32 accessions were investigated by inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Nine ISSR primers produced a total of 80 polymorphic markers and revealed high polymorphism among the studied species. The average gene diversity, effective number of alleles and Shannon’s information index were 0.2, 1.28 and 0.3, respectively. Allium kuhsorkhense exhibited the greatest level of variation (He: 0.18), whereas A. stipitatum demonstrated the lowest level of variability (He: 0.05). UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean) analysis showed that Allium accessions have a similarity range of 0.60 to 0.95. Allium scapriscapum composed the most distant group in the dendrogram. The clustered groups of Allium species clearly reflect the recent taxonomic concept of the genus at the subgenus and section levels. The present study showed that the ISSR technique is an effective molecular approach for analyzing genetic diversity and relationship in Allium species.Bangladesh J.
