A new strategy for identification of currant (Ribes nigrum L.) cultivars using RAPD markers

J. Huo, Yang, G., Zhang, Y., and Li, F., A new strategy for identification of currant (Ribes nigrum L.) cultivars using RAPD markers, vol. 12, pp. 2056-2067, 2013.

We developed a new approach using RAPD fingerprints to distinguish 37 currant cultivars from northeastern China based on opti­mization of RAPD by choosing 11 nucleotide primers and strict screen­ing PCR annealing temperature. We found that the manual cultivar iden­tification diagram (MCID) approach clearly developed fingerprints from 8 different primers that were useful for cultivar identification; a cultivar identification diagram (CID) was readily constructed.

Genetic diversity in local and commercial dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions based on microsatellite markers

P. D. S. Cabral, Soares, T. C. B., Lima, A. B. P., de Miranda, F. D., Souza, F. B., and Gonçalves, L. S. A., Genetic diversity in local and commercial dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions based on microsatellite markers, vol. 10, pp. 140-149, 2011.

Dry beans are considered to be a crop of great socio-economic importance, because they are an inexpensive source of nutrients and because their cultivation requires considerable manual labor. Studies of genetic diversity have been very important for genetic improvement programs, because they give parameters for the identification of genitors that can provide large heterosis effects and improved segregation in recombinants, increasing the probability of obtaining superior genotypes in the progeny.
