Genus Capsicum

The taxonomy of the genus Capsicum has distinguished more than twenty species of peppers with only C. annuum L. being a vegetable of economic importance. The remaining species can, however, be used in breeding via interspecies hybridization as a source of valuable functional traits. The aim of the study was to obtain interspecific hybrids of peppers with increased agronomic potential and their molecular identification. Based on their agromorphological characteristics, the obtained hybrids (‘Anchi’ × C. frutescens L.)F1 and (‘Anchi’ × C. baccatum var. pendulum)F1 formed fruits that had the combined functional traits typical of the cultivar ‘Anchi’, with a high content of soluble solids, and the wild species, with dry matter. To identify hybrids and their parental forms, the random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat polymerase chain reaction (PCR-ISSR) techniques were used. The polymorphic products obtained in both methods totalled 65% and 59%, respectively, and they allowed for the identification of all tested genotypes, excluded the possibility of self-pollination of ‘Anchi’ plants, and confirmed the hybrid characteristics of the crossbreed (‘Anchi’ × C. frutescens L.)F1.

The inheritance of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers generated via the polymerase chain reaction amplification of genomic DNA sequences in an F2 family of an interspecific cross between Stylosanthes hamata and S. scabra was investigated. An initial comparison between the parental species, S. hamata cv. Verano and S. scabra cv. Fitzroy, demonstrated that 34% of detected RAPD bands were polymorphic. Of 90 primers tested, 35 showed relatively simple and reliably scorable polymorphisms and were used for segregation analysis. Sixty F2 individuals were scored for the segregation of 73 RAPD markers and 55 of these markers fit a 3:1 ratio. Segregation of eight other RAPD markers deviated significantly from a 3:1 ratio. There was no bias in the inheritance of RAPD markers regarding parental origin of the segregating RAPD markers. Linkage analysis revealed 10 linkage groups containing a total of 44 RAPD loci. Another 10 RAPD markers (7 of maternal origin) that were polymorphic between the parents did not segregate in the F2 population. One of the maternally inherited RAPD bands hybridized to chloroplast DNA. Analysis of RAPD loci by DNA hybridization indicated that mainly repeated sequences were amplified. These data indicate that RAPDs are useful genetic markers in Stylosanthes spp. and they may be suitable for genetic mapping.Key words: genetic mapping, molecular markers, polymerase chain reaction, Stylosanthes hamata, Stylosanthes scabra.

Hordeum Species

Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis was performed by applying a set of 13 arbitrary 10-mer primers to 19 Hordeum species and subspecies. High levels of variation in fragment pattern were observed both within and among species with most of the primers used. Genetic similarities between accessions and species were calculated from the fragment patterns. The resulting phenograms confirmed previous relationships among the Hordeum species.Key words: random amplified polymorphic DNA, polymerase chain reaction, polymorphism, Hordeum.

The obligate parasitic fungus-like organism Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl. et De Toni, is the causal agent of downy mildew disease in sunflower (Helianthus annuus). New races of this economically important parasite are regularly detected throughout the world. In addition, fungicide-resistant isolates have been reported in Europe and North America. These observations of parasite evolution, as well as the risk of propagation of the disease by infected seeds, means that it is necessary to guarantee the absence of Plasmopara halstedii in seed shipments. We report here the development of a rapid assay that can be used to detect infection by Plasmopara halstedii in plant tissues. Based on the nucleotide sequence information obtained from one cloned random amplified polymorphic DNA fragment, specific oligonucleotides were designed and used as primers for in vitro DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction. An amplification product was detected on agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide when DNA from various Plasmopara halstedii races was tested, whereas no amplified DNA was detected when DNA from other origins was tested, including DNA from the host plant. The sensitivity of the technique was evaluated. The assay successfully reveals the presence of Plasmopara halstedii in infected sunflower plants prior to sporulation.Key words : diagnosis, polymerase chain reaction, SCAR, downy mildew, Helianthus annuus.
