DNA fingerprinting and diversity analysis in Aus genotypes using microsatellite markers
Journal Title: Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
DNA fingerprinting and genetic diversity of 94 Aus (6 BRRI released Aus variety and 88 local Aus landraces) genotypes were carried out to protect the Aus landraces from biopiracy. A total of 91 microsatellite markers were tested for screening the genotypes. Among 91 amplified products, 56% have polymorphic bands giving 195 alleles. The number of alleles per locus ranged from four (RM25 and RM147) to twenty seven (RM519), where average allele number was 9.76. The Polymorphism Information Contents (PIC) lied between 0.455 (RM5) to 0.934 (RM519). Most robust marker was found RM519 since it provided the highest PIC value (0.934). Pair-wise genetic dissimilarity co-efficient showed the lowest genetic dissimilarity was found BRRI dhan42 and BRRI dhan43 and the highest genetic dissimilarity was found local landraces each other. Here it is shown that most Aus landraces is recognized to have broad genetic base. Thus it is recommended to use these landraces for future breeding program or include new and untouched local landraces to incorporate new genes and broaden genetic base.

Optimization of Neutral Comet Assay for studying DNA double-strand breaks in pea and wheat
This study describes an adaptation of the Comet assay under neutral conditions for mono- and dicotyledonous plants pea (Pisum sativum L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Modifications concern lysis and electrophoresis...
In vitro regeneration and antibacterial activity of Prunus domestica L.
An effective in vitro culture system for mature nodal segments of European plum (Prunus domestica) was established. Several important aspects of regeneration from nodal explants were studied for adaptation of Europ...
Enhancement of nutritive value of tea leaf waste by solid-state fermentation with Lentinus sajor–caju
Nutritional value of tea leaf waste was improved significantly (p<0.05) by solid-state fermentation for 8 weeks with a white rot fungus, Lentinus sajor-caju. The proximate analysis revealed that crude protein, ash, cellu...
Evaluation of genetic divergence and heritability in pea ([i]Pisum sativum[/i] L.)
An experiment on genetic evaluation of five genotypes of forage pea (Glyans, Svit, Kamerton, Modus, Pleven 4) was conducted during 2012-2014 period. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for...
Physiological, nutritional, and biochemical responses under nickel toxicity in black poplar (Populus nigra)
Nickel (Ni) is an essential nutrient for plants and it has been identified as a component of a number of enzymes such as ureases. In this study, we have studied the long-term effects of nickel toxicity on black poplar (P...
