Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), is the most ancient and important oilseed crop for its good quality edible oil. Much variability among genotypes exists in sesame which helps the breeder to choose good parents in hybridization. In the present study, 30 genotypes were studied for 12 morphological traits. Correlation analysis exhibited that seed yield per plant was positive and significantly correlated with capsules per plant and 1000-seed weight. Apart from morphological data, initial genotyping was conducted for 32 microsatellites but finally only polymorphic primers were selected for genetic diversity study. Estimated polymorphism information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.07 to 0.87 and SSR 24 showed to be highest at 0.87. The dendrogram was constructed using the software NTSYS Pc Ver. 2.20 based on morphological and molecular data. Geographical diversity did not corroborate with genotypic diversity as the cluster composition revealed that genotypes belonging to different geographical origin grouped in the same cluster.

A total of 38 eggplant genotypes, of which 32 were heirloom accessions collected from different regions of Burdur province five were different local genotypes from other provinces, and one was a cultivar, were used as reference in this study. The phylogenetic relationships among these heirlooms were evaluated using 40 morphologic descriptors and five randomly amplified polymorphic RAPD markers. The horizontal dendrograms were created by using UPGMA with both morphologic and molecular data. Burdur heirloom accessions showed high genetic diversity based on morphological and molecular data. The genetic similarity rates ranged from 0.29 to 0.91 according to the morphological data, and ranged from 0.84 to 0.98 according to the molecular data. Molecular data generated by RAPD method, compared to morphological data, were insufficient to reveal genetic diversity. Therefore, in order to confirm genetic variations, studies based on other molecular methods are necessary. The regional genetic populations include a wide eggplant genetic diversity which can be good source for the breeding studies performed in the future.

The recent catalogues of the family Dolichopodidae considered Syntormon pallipes (Fabricius, 1794) and S. pseudospicatus Strobl, 1899 as separate species. In this study, we used three approaches to estimate the significance of differences between the two species: molecular analysis (COI and 12S rRNA sequences), analysis of leg colour characters and geometric morphometric analysis of wing shape. The morphological data confirmed the absence of significant differences between S. pallipes and S. pseudospicatus found in the DNA analysis. Significant differences in the wing shape of two species have not been revealed. Hence, according to our data, there is no reason to consider S. pseudospicatus as a distinct species.

Autolytinae is revised based on available types, and newly collected specimens. Out of 170 nominal species, 18 are considered as incertae sedis, 43 are regarded as junior synonyms, and 25 are referred to as nomina dubia. The relationships of Autolytinae is assessed from 51 morphological characters and 211 states for 76 ingroup-taxa, and 460 molecular characters from mitochondrial 16S rDNA and nuclear 18S rDNA for 31 ingroup-taxa; outgroups include 12 non-autolytine syllid polychaetes. Two analyses are provided, one including morphological data only, and one with combined morphological and molecular data sets. The resulting strict consensus tree from the combined data is chosen for a reclassification. Three main clades are identified: Procerini trib. n., Autolytini Grube, 1850, and Epigamia gen. n. Proceraea Ehlers, 1864 and Myrianida Milne Edwards, 1845 are referred to as nomen protectum, while Scolopendra Slabber, 1781, Podonereis Blainville, 1818, Amytis Savigny, 1822, Polynice Savigny, 1822, and Nereisyllis Blainville, 1828 are considered

Very little is known about the diversity and systematics of the genus cypriniform genus Hypselobarbus. Currently, the genusincludes at least eleven species, all endemic to freshwater systems of Peninsular India. While these species are commonlyknown in India and are frequently used as a food source, little is known about the morphological diversity within and betweenspecies and nothing is known regarding intraspecific genetic diversity or species relationships. Herein, we examine the geneticdiversity in the genus for 11 mitochondrial genes for eleven populations representing nine of the known 11 species.Hypselobarbus is resolved as monophyletic, with the inclusion of P. carnaticus, and species relatioships are very stronglysupported. Because of the unambiguous relationships strongly supported B. carnaticus is allocated to Hypselobarbus. Thisresearch and ongoing morphological and molecular work with the genus supports the existence of additional new species inpeninsular India in need of further molecular and morphological study. Genetic diversity in the genus is high; for the twospecies wherein more than one sample, and the two of each are suspected to represent undescribed taxa, these populationsexhibited greater genetic divergence than that observed between any two of the other currently recognized species,corroborating our hypothesis based on morphological evidence. Clearly the genus warrants more thorough geographicsampling and examination of morphological and molecular data/analyses to reveal the natural lineages existing in this endemic and enigmatic genus.
