In this study, genetic variation and phylogenetic analysis of 13 populations of 6 species belonging to Conringia genus spreading in Turkey were performed using RAPD markers. Genomic DNA isolation from the leaves of the Conringia plant samples was performed via using a commercial kit. Seven RAPD primers were used to identify the genetic diversity between the populations. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed using DNA samples and primers. PCR products were resolved using agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized under UV light. All gel images were analyzed, and the absence and presence of polymorphic bands were scored. The total of 34 DNA bands were detected by seven RAPD primers. PAUP 4.0b10 analysis program was used to calculate phylogenetic tree and genetic distances between the species. The phylogenetic tree was obtained using the UPGMA algorithm and it was composed of two clades. According to the PAUP analysis, the species having the closest distance between each other are C. planisiliqua (Ankara-Aya?) and C. planisiliqua (Ankara-Nall?han) with the value of 0.000 and those having the longest distance are C. grandiflora (Akseki ?ukurk?y) and C. orientalis (Elaz??-Baskil) with the value of 0.6000. The results suggest that the RAPD markers are useful tools to demonstrate the genetic relationships between populations of the Conringia species.

This study was performed out genetic diversity of some Elaeagnus angustifolia L. populations growing in İzmir province by using ISSR markers. In the study, PCR was performed using 15 ISSR primers. PCR products were run in agarose gel and visualized under UV light. Amplified products were scored as follows. A total of 46 bands were produced from 15 ISSR primers, of which 27 were polymorphic. The proportion of polymorphic bands was evaluated as approximately 58.7%. Genetic distances between phylogenetic trees and genotypes were calculated using the PAUP program. The phylogenetic tree consists of two large clades. The longest distance between populations was between Gümüldür-Özdere and Çeşme-Alaçatı population with a value of 0.50, while the closest distance was between Çeşme-Ayayorgi and Konak-Hatay populations with a value of 0.06. The results show that ISSR markers are useful tools for determining genetic relationships between E. angustifolia populations

Genetic variation among pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] cultivars was studied using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Using a combination of primers, a unique fingerprint was produced for each of the pecan genotypes studied. The genetic relatedness between 44 cultivars was estimated using more than 100 RAPD markers. Genetic distances based on the simple matching coefficient varied from 0.91 to 0.59. The phenetic dendogram developed from cluster analysis showed relatively weak grouping association. However, cultivars with known pedigrees usually grouped with at least one of the parents and genetic similarity estimates appear to agree with known genetic relationships. Using RAPD information in determining genetic relationships among pecan cultivars with unknown or questionable pedigrees and the integration of that knowledge into the breeding program is discussed.

The utility of intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers for identification of English or Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) cultivars was explored. Four cultivars were screened with 47 ISSR primers; eight of these primers, which generated reproducible and informative data, were selected for further study. Two individuals from each of 48 cultivars, including many currently important in the California walnut industry as well as accessions from Europe and Asia, were then examined with the eight ISSR primers. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were separated on agarose gels and stained with ethidium bromide. Fifty-four bands were scored as present or absent in each cultivar; of these, 31 (57%) were polymorphic among the 48 cultivars. Combined data from the eight ISSR primers provided a unique fingerprint for each of the cultivars tested. Fifteen of the cultivars could be distinguished from all others with just one primer, 31 with a minimum of two primers, and two required three primers. Pairwise genetic distances between the cultivars were calculated and a dendrogram was generated using the neighbor-joining algorithm. Some of the groupings in the dendrogram corresponded to groups which, based on known pedigrees, are genealogically closely related. Others included accessions from diverse genetic and/or geographic origins. These results can be attributed to a combination of the limitations of the ISSR method for inferring genetic relationships, on the one hand, and the complex history of walnut cultivar development involving extensive exchange and breeding of germplasm from different geographic regions, on the other.

Within the present study, it was conducted a genetic diversity analysis using ISSR markers for some apple genotypes grown in Ardahan region, Turkey. Total genomic DNA (gDNA) isolation from apple leaves was performed using commercial kits. Five ISSR primers were used to determine the genetic diversity among the genotypes studied. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed with all gDNA samples to produce bands to score. PCR products were run in agarose gel and visualized under UV light. Bands on the gels were scored as “1”, while no bands at the corresponding positions were scored as “0”, to generate the matrix file. Five ISSR primers produced a total of 35 bands, and 20 of them were polymorphic. The polymorphic bands rated approximately 57%. Phylogenetic relationships and genetic distances between the genotypes were calculated by using the PAUP [Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (and Other Methods)] program.  According to the PAUP data, the closest genetic distance was 0.03704 between ‘Kaburga’ and ‘Japon Apple’ genotypes, while the furthest genetic distance was 0.48148 between ‘Karanfil Apple’ and ‘Sisli Uruset’. The phylogenetic analysis obtained using UPGMA algorithm produced a phylogenetic tree with two clades. The results suggest that ISSR markers are useful tools for determining genetic relationships among apple genotypes.

Genetic analysis with RAPD markers has been extensively used to determine diversity among maize genotypes. The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic relationships among 70 genotypes, provided from SCDA Turda Cluj germplasm collection. RAPD analysis was performed with 14 decamer primers. These primers generated, among the studied genotypes, a number of polymorphic bands comprised between 13 bands (OPA 04) and 7 bands (OPAL 20). The highest numbers of polymorphic bands were obtained with primer OPA 04, respectively 13 bands, following by OPO 12 (12 polymorphic bands), OPAB 11 and OPA 17 (11 polymorphic bands). Lowest number was obtained with primer OPAL 20, respectively 7 polymorphic bands. Genetic distances were established using Nei-Li coefficient and UPGMA dendrogram was constructed with RAPDistance 1.04 software. The built dendrogram shows phylogenetic relationships between genotypes analyzed.

Eighty-two Spanish olive cultivars from the World Germplasm Bank of the Centro de Investigación y Formación Agraria (CIFA) Alameda del Obispo in Cordoba (Spain) were analysed by RAPD markers to assess their genetic relatedness and to study patterns of genetic variation. The dendrogram based on unweighted pair group cluster analysis using Jaccard's index included two major groups that consisted mostly of cultivars from the southern and central part of Spain. Clustering together of cultivars from the Levante zone was also observed. The pattern of genetic variation among olive cultivars from three different Spanish zones (Levante, central and Andalusia) was analysed by means of the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Although most of the genetic variability was attributable to differences of cultivars within each zone (95.88%), significant φ-values among zones (φst = 0.041; p < 0.001) suggested the existence of phenotypic differentiation. These results are consistent with the predominantly allogamous nature of Olea europaea L. species. Significant values of φst for the pair Andalusia/Levante indicate the presence of differentiation. The negative value of φst observed in the case of the Andalusia/central pair suggests that some varieties from central Spain are more similar to the Andalusian ones than to the varieties of their own geographic area, and vice versa.

Genetic variation is a principal concern for the plant breeders. Genetic variation and relationship among high yielding rice varieties viz. Binadhan 4, Binadhan 5, Binadhan 6, Binasail, BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 were analyzed using four decamer random primers. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplified 22 RAPD markers, of which 18 (81.82%) were polymorphic. The proportion of polymorphic loci and the gene diversity values were 59.09% and 0.25 for the Binadhan 4; 59.09% and 0.21 for Binadhan 6; 54.55% and 0.23 for Binasail; 54.55% and 0.19 for BRRI dhan29; 50.00% and 0.19 for Binadhan 5 and 45.45% and 0.18 for BRRI dhan28, respectively. The coefficient of gene differentiation (Gst) across all loci was calculated as 0.35 reflecting the existence of high level of genetic variation among the six modern rice varieties. UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei’s genetic distance segregated the six high yielding rice varieties into two clusters: all four mutant varieties viz. Binadhan 4, Binadhan 5, Binadhan 6 and Binasail formed one cluster and two varieties of BRRI grown in boro season, BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 grouped together in another cluster. Among the mutants, two boro season varieties, developed from the same parent, Binadhan 5 and Binadhan 6 grouped together with genetic distance of 0.10. Therefore, RAPD offer a reliable method to evaluate genetic variation and relatedness among the high yielding rice varieties.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v21i1.17042

The conversion of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers, and the effects of differing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions were studied in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Attempts were made to clone and sequence 75 RAPD PCR products to produce SCAR primers (16 to 22 nucleotides) designed to amplify original RAPD PCR products. The influence of template DNA source, purity, and concentration, MgCl2 concentration, Taq polymerase source, and type of thermocycler upon RAPD and SCAR marker performance was evaluated. Conversion of RAPD to SCAR markers was not universally successful, and SCAR primers reacted differently to varying PCR conditions. Only 48 (64%) of 75 RAPD markers were successfully converted to SCAR markers and 11 (15%) of these reproduced the polymorphism observed with the original RAPD PCR product. Moreover, some SCAR primer pairs produced multiple polymorphic PCR products. The band intensity of SCAR markers were brighter (P = 0.05) than their corresponding RAPD markers with only one exception. The SCAR markers examined were less influenced (P = 0.05) by MgCl2 concentration than their corresponding RAPD markers. However, some SCAR markers were more sensitive to reaction impurities than their RAPD counterparts and SCAR markers tended to be less readily visualized (decrease in frequency of visible PCR product) with low concentrations (1 and 2 mm) of template DNA than their corresponding RAPD markers. Neither the source of Taq nor the type of thermocycler used affected the performance of SCAR and RAPD markers. These data suggest that although SCAR markers may demonstrate enhanced performance over the RAPD markers from which they are derived, careful consideration must be given to both the costs and potential benefits of SCAR marker development in cucumber.

We characterized 23 isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Aschersonia spp. from Mexico, Brazil, Guyana, Trinidad, Venezuela, Columbia, Florida, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Philippines, Java and South India using RAPD markers. The data were used to compute the genetic variability and to reconstruct the phylogeny of the genus Aschersonia. Relative genetic distances varied from 0.018 (between isolates Aa2 and Ap2) to 0.445 (between isolates A1 and At1). In the constructed phylogenetic tree, isolates were clustered according to their geographical origin. We determined partial 26S ribosomal DNA sequences of five Aschersonia isolates (A28, A31, Ai1a, Ai2b – Aschersonia spp.; and Ap1– Aschersonia placenta) and used them for phylogenetic analysis. Three of the tested isolates were not distinguishable. The tree constructed indicated that isolates Ai1a and Ai2b belong to species distinct from A. placenta and A. aleyrodis.

Genetic variation and relationships in genetic resources collections can be assessed using molecular genetic markers. We examined the applicability of the RAPD assay for quick, cost-effective, and reliable use in improving collection management. Fourteen accessions of Brassica oleracea spp. capitata `Golden Acre' (cabbage) were screened using nine decamer oligonucleotide primers. We obtained 110 reproducible fragments, of which 80 were polymorphic, ranging in size from 370-1730 bp. Individual accessions were readily distinguished. A cluster analysis of genetic distances generated by bootstrapping reflected all known genetic relationships, except one. Bulking strategies were also investigated. RAPD markers can be applied to gene bank management to measure variation, identify accessions, and establish genetic similarity at the intra-specific level addressing the needs of both curators and users.
