Download or read book Molecular Systematics of Plants II written by Pamela Soltis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the five years since the publication of Molecular Systematics of Plants, the field of molecular systematics has advanced at an astonishing pace. This period has been marked by a volume of new empirical data and advances in theoretical and analytical issues related to DNA. Comparative DNA sequencing, facilitated by the amplification of DNA via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has become the tool of choice for molecular systematics. As a result, large portions of the Molecular Systematics of Plants have become outdated. Molecular Systematics of Plants II summarizes these recent achievements in plant molecular systematics. Like its predecessor, this completely revised work illustrates the potential of DNA markers for addressing a wide variety of phylogenetic and evolutionary questions. The volume provides guidance in choosing appropriate techniques, as well as appropriate genes for sequencing, for given levels of systematic inquiry. More than a review of techniques and previous work, Molecular Systematics of Plants II provides a stimulus for developing future research in this rapidly evolving field. Molecular Systematics of Plants II is not only written for systematists (faculty, graduate students, and researchers), but also for evolutionary biologists, botanists, and paleobotanists interested in reviewing current theory and practice in plant molecular systematics.

Book excerpt: In the four decades since the discovery of DNA, molecular genetics and biotechnology have undergone a revolution in the research and application of genetic testing techniques. As a result, these fields have witnessed an explosion of both information and controversy, and the focus of public awareness of the significance of molecular biotechnology in everyday life has leaped from journal abstracts to front-page news. Molecular biotechnology provides important tools for the identification of specific nucleic acid sequences, some of them linked to important traits such as those conferring resistance to disease. Such DNA markers are used commonly in genetic research and in other applications, such as DNA fingerprinting. Researchers can use DNA markers to follow individual traits in different environments and hosts, increasing our understanding of the constitution, diversity, and evolution of genetic material. DNA Markers: Protocols, Applications, and Overviews offers valuable new information on this rapidly growing field. This compendium of research highlights the most recently discovered DNA markers and their application to the analyses of genomes of low and high complexity, with a focus on recently developed DNA marker systems as tools for DNA fingerprinting, genome analysis, molecular systematics, taxonomy, and phylogenetic analysis.

Download or read book Diversity Study Based on Quality Traits and RAPD Markers and Investigation of Heterosis in Ethiopian Mustard written by and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2005-07-20 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitherto, the cultivation of Ethiopian mustard as source of edible oil is limited to Ethiopia only. Although its agricultural potential is beginning to be recognized in some other countries, the crop is rather a subject of experimental investigation than of large-scale production. Its commercial and production acceptance and subsequent spread within Ethiopia and elsewhere seems largely restricted by its low oil and meal quality. As an oilseed crop less important elsewhere, the crop suffers from lack of research investment to generate basic and applied information needed to improve its productivity and quality. Diversity for seed quality traits and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers among germplasm collection from Ethiopia and other countries are not assessed and documented. Genetic information that is essential to improve seed yield and its components is meagre. The phenomenon of heterosis that has achieved great success in the other oilseed Brassicas is not investigated so far. To address some of the above mentioned information gaps, this study comprising a series of laboratory and field experiments was carried out with the following objectives: (1) to asses the level of variability for some seed quality traits in segregating progenies; (2) to asses the genetic diversity in relation to geographic origin within Ethiopia and out side Ethiopia using RAPD markers; (3) to determine the level of heterosis and variation in combining abilities for yield and its components in inbred- and population-derived F1s; (4) to identify pre-harvest plant characteristics and yield components related to yield heterosis ; (5) to estimate genetic parameters of seed yield and its components; (6) to empirically test the predictive value of parental divergence as determined by DNA markers, phenotypic traits and geographic origin to heterosis; and (7) to suggest breeding strategies for utilizing heterosis in Ethiopian mustard.

Download or read book Genetic Diversity and Differentiation in Douglas fir from RAPD Markers of Nuclear and Mitochondrial Origin written by Jan Erik Aagaard and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to better understand the evolutionary patterns revealed by molecular markers, we studied genetic diversity and differentiation of populations and races of Douglas-fir using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers of nuclear and mitochondrial origin. We conducted a range-wide survey of RAPD diversity and differentiation, and compared RAPDs and published allozyme data at the population and race level. Southern hybridization using enriched organelle DNAs as probes was used to screen RAPDs for cytoplasmic DNA markers, allowing us to distinguish between RAPD bands of nuclear, mitochondrial, and putative chloroplast origin. RAPD markers of mitochondrial origin were found to be frequent among Douglas-fir RAPD profiles. In our range-wide survey, nearly half (45 %) of all polymorphic RAPDs scored exhibited maternal inheritance; the chioroplast genome is known to exhibit paternal inheritance in Douglas-fir. Hybridization of RAPD blots with mitochondrial genome enriched DNA identified 16% of a total of 237 RAPD fragments as being of mitochondrial origin. Failure to distinguish between nuclear and mitochondrial RAPD origins could seriously bias estimates of population genetic parameters. When a nuclear origin was assumed for all bands, differentiation among populations and races was nearly 1.5-fold greater then when only nuclear RAPDs were analyzed (GST=O.47 and 0.34, respectively). We infer that the large number of mitochondrial RAPD markers we observed are indicative of a large, complex, and polymorphic mitochondrial genome in Douglas-fir. Nuclear RAPD markers were considerably more polymorphic within populations than mitochondrial RAPDs (Hs=O.22 and 0.03, respectively), however mitochondrial RAPDs were much more highly differentiated than nuclear RAPDs (GSTO. 91 and 0.34, respectively). Both markers indicated similar phylogenetic relationships among populations and races. Estimates of diversity and differentiation were higher for RAPDs than for allozymes, though not significantly so (P>0.05; H5O.22 and 0.16, HT=O.32 and 0.22, and G1=0.34 and 0.29, respectively, for RAPDs and allozymes). However, simulations showed that Hs and HT for dominant biallelic markers such as RAPDs are expected to be approximately half that of a codominant, multiallelic marker with equivalent levels of underlying molecular diversity to that of our allozyme data set. This suggests that RAPDs reflect considerably higher amounts of diversity at the molecular level than do allozymes. The simulations also suggest that our estimates of population differentiation (GST) for RAPD markers are essentially unbiased at the sample sizes used.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Laboratory experiments, genetic simulation, and theoretical analyses were performed to address several objectives related to the use of genetic markers in plant breeding programs. Two software packages were developed: GREGOR provides flexible and efficient computer algorithms for performing genetic simulation experiments, and KIN provides improved methods for estimating coancestry from known pedigrees. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were investigated in elite barley lines, and estimates of genetic distance based on RAPD markers were compared to estimates based on coancestry. Both types of estimate can provide information that is useful to breeders and geneticists. Genetic simulation was used to investigate the power, accuracy and precision of several methods that are available for analyzing quantitative trait loci (QTL). In most cases, simplified methods of QTL analysis based on linear regression were similar or superior to more complex methods based on mixture models. Methods for genetic analysis using selective genotyping and pooled DNA were also investigated. These methods may allow precise estimates of the positions of markers and QTL to be made." --
