Glycoalkaloid isolation from Solanum linnaeanum berries
(EDP Sciences, 2015-11)
Glycoalkaloids are plant secondary metabolites that can be both harmful and beneficial to human health. They cause gastroenteric symptoms, coma and even death at high concentrations. It is thought that glycoalkaloids are ...
Development of simple sequence repeat markers in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) by next-generation sequencing and discrimination of Turkish hazelnut cultivars
(Springer, 2018)
European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) is a diploid tree species and is widely used in confections. Hazelnuts are, to a large part, produced in Turkey with the cultivar "Tombul" widely grown in the Black Sea region. In this ...
Newly developed SSR markers reveal genetic diversity and geographical clustering in spinach (Spinacia oleracea)
(Springer, 2017-08)
Spinach is a popular leafy green vegetable due to its nutritional composition. It contains high concentrations of vitamins A, E, C, and K, and folic acid. Development of genetic markers for spinach is important for diversity ...
Determination of genetic diversity in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai] germplasm
(Southern Cross Publishing, 2011-12)
The genetic diversity and relatedness of 90 watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanthus and Citrullus. lanatus var. citroides) accessions were molecularly characterized using 30 sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) ...
Water-soluble antioxidant potential of melon lines grown in Turkey
(Taylor & Francis, 2012-01)
The antioxidant potential of 42 melon (Cucumis melo) lines including six cultivars grown in Turkey was assessed by measuring total water-soluble antioxidant capacity, phenolic and vitamin C contents. The lines showed ...
Genome-wide SNP discovery and genetic linkage map construction in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) using a genotyping by sequencing (GBS) approach
(Springer, 2016-09)
Recently developed plant genomics approaches (LD mapping and genome-wide selection) require many molecular markers distributed throughout the plant genome. As a result, the availability of an increasing number of markers ...
Physical mapping of NBS-coding resistance genes to the Me-gene cluster on chromosome P9 reveals markers tightly linked to the N gene for root-knot nematode resistance in pepper
(Springer, 2016-10-01)
Natural root-knot nematode resistance genes are unique resources to control this major pest in pepper (Capsicum annuum). Although four genes (Me1, Me3, Me7 and N) conferring broad-spectrum resistance were mapped to a cluster ...
Relationship between geographical origin, seed size and genetic diversity in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) as revealed by SSR markers
(Springer, 2017-10)
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important legume species because of its high protein and starch content. Broad bean can be grown in different climatic conditions and is an ideal rotation crop because of the nitrogen fixing ...
Molecular diversity and identification of alleles for Verticillium wilt resistance in elite cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germplasm
(Springer, 2017-02)
Cotton is an important crop in the textile, food and pharmaceutical industries. In the present study, a panel of 108 elite cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines was genotyped with 177 genome-wide SSR markers to assess genetic ...
A primer to molecular phylogenetic analysis in plants
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-07)
Reconstructing a tree of life by inferring evolutionary history is an important focus of evolutionary biology. Phylogenetic reconstructions also provide useful information for a range of scientific disciplines such as ...
