Characterization of a unique genomic clone located 5′ upstream of the Oshsp16.9B gene on chromosome 1 in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Tainung No. 67)
Small heat-shock proteins (sHSP) are the most abundant heat stress-induced proteins in plants. In rice, there are at least seven members of class-I sHSP. A 1.6-kb DNA fragment was isolated from the EcoRI-digested...

Map** of simple sequence repeat (SSR) DNA markers in diploid and tetraploid alfalfa
Cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is an autotetraploid. However, all three existing alfalfa genetic maps resulted from crosses of diploid alfalfa. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the use of Simple...

AFLP analysis of variation in pecan somatic embryos
Before somatic embryogenesis can be applied, the genetic fidelity of cultures needs to be determined. Problematic of tissue-cultured woody species is the extensive evaluation time needed for assessments. The ...

Microsatellites in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz): discovery, inheritance and variability
Fourteen microsatellites containing GA-repeats were isolated and characterized in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae). Microsatellite heterozygosity (h) was estimated in 48 accessions using (32P)-e...

A study of genetic variation and evolution of Phyllostachys (Bambusoideae: Poaceae) using nuclear restriction fragment length polymorphisms
Phylogenetic and taxonomic difficulties are common within the woody bamboos, due to their unique life cycle, which severely limits the availability of floral characters. To addresss some of these problems, 20 ...

Development of an RFLP linkage map in diploid peanut species
An RFLP linkage map of peanut has been developed for use in genetic studies and breeding programs aimed at improving the cultivated species (Arachis hypogaea L.). An F2 population derived from the interspecific h...

RFLP analysis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) introgression lines
Fifty-two introgression lines (BC2F8) from crosses between two Oryza sativa parents and five accessions of O. officinalis were analyzed for the introgression of O. officinalis chromosome segments. DNA from the pa...

RFLP variation in diploid and tetraploid alfalfa
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a major forage crop throughout the world. Although alfalfa has many desirable traits, continued breeding is required to incorporate pest resistances and other traits. We conducted ...

Bamboo germplasm screening with nuclear restriction fragment length polymorphisms
Bamboo species are difficult to identify because flowering material is seldom available and taxonomy is of necessity based on vegetative characters. To evaluate the utility of restriction fragment length polym...

RFLP variability in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars and wild species
RFLP variability was studied in eight U.S. peanut cultivars, representing the four market types, and in 14 wild Arachis species accessions, using random genomic clones from a PstI library. Very low levels of RFLP...
