Analysis of molecular diversity in guava using RAPD markers

Progress in Myrtaceae genetics and genomics: Eucalyptus as the pivotal genus

“…A few occasional studies have described genetic variance components of fruit traits in Psidium (guava) (Thaipong and Boonprakob 2005), or reported the intraspecific variation, genetic control, and gains from selection for oil content and composition in Melaleuca (Butcher et al 1994;Doran et al 2006;Shelton et al 2002). Except for a few studies that have developed and used molecular markers to investigate diversity in Psidium (Prakash et al 2002;Risterucci et al 2005) and Melaleuca (Rossetto et al 1999b), tangible applications of molecular tools to advance breeding populations have been carried out only in Eucalyptus, (Grattapaglia 2004;Grattapaglia and Kirst 2008;Myburg et al 2007).…”

Elucidation of Genetic Diversity among Five Cultivars of Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis Using Single Primer Amplification Reaction (Spar)

“…Many horticulturally important fruit crops including some guava varieties [4,5], its few species [6,7] and its related species Feijoa sellowiana [7] have been characterized using RAPD markers. The ISSRs help to identify closely related cultivars and to study evolutionary processes and phylogenetic studies [8,9].…”

Clonal Multiplication of Guava (Psidium guajava) through Soft Wood Cuttings using IBA under Low-plastic Tunnel

“…The genus Psidium consists of more than 150 species which includes evergreen shrubs and trees wide spread in different tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world (Jaiswal and Jaiswal, 2005). It is famous as "poor man apple" or "apple of the tropics" because it rich in ascorbic acid, calcium, iron and phosphorous (Prakash et al, 2002). It contains 2-5 times more vitamin C as compared to oranges.…”
