Genetic diversity in passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) evaluated by RAPD markers

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Genetic variability assessment in the genus Passiflora by SSR marker

“…The greatest dissimilarity was observed between the species P. suberosa and P. edulis (0.80). The high divergence between the species P. edulis and P. suberosa was also found in studies of Crochemore et al (2003).…”

“…Several studies have used molecular markers to assess the genetic variability among Passiflora species. Crochemore et al (2003) used RAPD markers and found a clear separation and a significant diversity among the 11 species. Viana et al (2010) used both RAPD and morphological markers to quantify the variability among six species of this genus.…”

Genetic variability of Passiflora spp. from commercial fields in the Federal District, Brazil

“…RAPD markers have been regarded to detect DNA polymorphism, allowing characterization of variability among and within species (FAJARDO et al, 1998), resulting in a complementary tool for characterization of genetic diversity in Brazilian Passiflora species for breeding programs (CROCHEMORE et al, 2003). Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the genetic variability in commercial accessions of passion fruit from Brazilian Federal District by RAPD markers.…”

Genetic Diversity among Flue-cured Tobacco Cultivars Based on RAPD and AFLP Markers

“…The RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) and AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) are genetic fingerprinting techniques suitable for the genetic evaluation of flue-cured tobacco. The techniques have been successfully used to genetically analyze many different plant species (Crochemore et al, 2003;Diniz et al, 2005;Ni et al, 2006 andYang et al, 2006). In this work, the RAPD and AFLP procedures were used to assess the amount of polymorphisms detected among the flue-cured tobacco cultivars and to estimate the relationships.…”
