Genetic assessment of the pomological classification of plum Prunus domestica L. accessions sampled across Europe
The genoty** of European fruit tree collections has helped to identify synonyms, determine parentage, reveal key specimens in the collections and provide information on the development of modern cultivars fr...

Rosa
Presently, about 100–250 species are usually recognized in the genus Rosa. The low levels of DNA sequence divergence found across the genus suggest that it is a young genus with much speciation taking place after...

Frequent silencing of rDNA loci on the univalent-forming genomes contrasts with their stable expression on the bivalent-forming genomes in polyploid dogroses (Rosa sect. Caninae)
The polyploid species in Rosa section Caninae (2n=21, 28 or 35) are characterized by an unusual reproductive system known as odd (or asymmetric) meiosis. Only two chromosome sets form bivalents in meiosis, wherea...

The asymmetric meiosis in pentaploid dogroses (Rosa sect. Caninae) is associated with a skewed distribution of rRNA gene families in the gametes
In pentaploid dogroses, Rosa section Caninae (2n=5x=35), the pollen transmits one basic genome (x=7) derived from the seven segregating bivalents, whereas the egg transmits four basic genomes (4x=28) one set deri...

RAPD-based Analysis of Genetic Diversity and Selection of Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) Material for ex situ Conservation
Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers were used to assess relatedness and genetic diversity for 15 lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) populations. Seven primers yielding 59 polymorphic bands were used to anal...

Assignment of allelic configuration in polyploids using the MAC-PR (microsatellite DNA allele counting—peak ratios) method
Polysomic inheritance frequently results in the simultaneous occurrence of several microsatellite DNA alleles on a single locus. The MAC-PR (microsatellite DNA allele counting—peak ratios) method was recently ...

Microsatellite DNA marker inheritance indicates preferential pairing between two highly homologous genomes in polyploid and hemisexual dog-roses, Rosa L. Sect. Caninae DC.
According to previous cytological evidence, the hemisexual dog-rose species, Rosa sect. Caninae, transmit only seven chromosomes (derived from seven bivalents) through their pollen grains, whereas egg cells conta...

Combined analyses of RAPDs, cpDNA and morphology demonstrate spontaneous hybridization in the plant genus Chaenomeles
Evidence of spontaneous hybridization between two partially sympatric species of Chaenomeles, C. cathayensis and C. speciosa, has been obtained through analysis of offspring families from these two species, as we...

Phylogenetic relationships and differentiation among and within populations of Chaenomeles Lindl. (Rosaceae) estimated with RAPDs and isozymes
RAPD and isozyme analyses based on numerous markers have been used for the first time to investigate patterns of phenetic and genetic differentiation among and within nine wild populations of the genus Chaenomele...

Inter- and intraspecific genetic variation inHippophae (Elaeagnaceae) investigated by RAPD markers
Genetic diversity has been investigated by the application of molecular markers in, for the first time, all the taxa recognised in recent treatises of the genusHippophae. RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) a...

Article
Morphological and RAPD markers show a highly skewed distribution in a pair of reciprocal crosses between hemisexual dogrose species, Rosa sect. Caninae
The dogroses, Rosa sect. Caninae, are polyploid and characterized by their unique meiosis with an unequal number of chromosomes in the male and female gametes. The pollen cells have 7 chromosomes and the egg cel...

Applications of DNA fingerprinting in plant population studies
Many plant species are characterized by a large variability in breeding system and the frequent occurrence of one or several means of vegetative propagation, resulting in complicated population structures. Mul...

Applications of DNA Fingerprinting in Plant Breeding
Several DNA minisatellite probes have yielded fragment profiles that appear very useful for plant breeding work. These fragment profiles show no variation when vegetatively propagated material is analyzed. Sim...

DNA “fingerprints” applied to paternity analysis in apples (Malus x domestica)
Analysis of minisatellite DNA sequences, yielding so called DNA “fingerprints”, has proven useful in paternity analysis for several different organisms. Here 64 apple seedlings, grown from seeds collected in a...

Genetic variation detected by use of the M13 “DNA fingerprint” probe in Malus, Prunus, and Rubus (Rosaceae)
Recently, “DNA fingerprints” have been reported in a wide array of organisms. We used the M13 repeat probe on several genera and species in the angiosperm family Rosaceae. Four apple cultivars could be differe...

Pollen-limited seed set in pseudogamous blackberries (Rubus L. subgen. Rubus)
Pseudogamous blackberry species are polyploid and usually exhibit meiotic irregularities causing severe reduction in pollen viability. When species means were compared, relative seed set was strongly correlate...
