| molecular marker based taxonomy and phylogeny of guinea yam (dioscorea rotundata - d. cayenensis). | four different molecular techniques were used to assess relationships among 21 accessions of guinea yam (dioscorea rotundata and dioscorea cayenensis) and 21 accessions belonging to seven putative progenitor species. random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) and microsatellite-primed pcr (mp-pcr) analysis yielded 246 informative characters that were transformed into a matrix of pairwise distances and analyzed by neighbor joining or split decomposition. both methods gave congruent results. well-sep ... | 1997 | 18464876 |
| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 june 2010 - 31 july 2010. | this article documents the addition of 205 microsatellite marker loci to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: bagassa guianensis, bulweria bulwerii, camelus bactrianus, chaenogobius annularis, creontiades dilutus, diachasmimorpha tryoni, dioscorea alata, euhrychiopsis lecontei, gmelina arborea, haliotis discus hannai, hirtella physophora, melanaphis sacchari, munida isos, thaumastocoris peregrinus and tuberolachnus salignus. these loci were cro ... | 2010 | 21565125 |
| the content and bioavailability of mineral nutrients of selected wild and traditional edible plants as affected by household preparation methods practiced by local community in benishangul gumuz regional state, ethiopia. | edible parts of some wild and traditional vegetables used by the gumuz community, namely, portulaca quadrifida, dioscorea abyssinica, abelmoschus esculentus, and oxytenanthera abyssinica, were evaluated for their minerals composition and bioavailability. mineral elements, namely, ca, fe, zn, and cu, were analyzed using shimadzu atomic absorption spectrophotometer. effects of household processing practices on the levels of mineral elements were evaluated and the bioavailability was predicted usin ... | 2016 | 26981523 |
| a set of 100 chloroplast dna primer pairs to study population genetics and phylogeny in monocotyledons. | chloroplast dna sequences are of great interest for population genetics and phylogenetic studies. however, only a small set of markers are commonly used. most of them have been designed for amplification in a large range of angiosperms and are located in the large single copy (lsc). here we developed a new set of 100 primer pairs optimized for amplification in monocotyledons. primer pairs amplify coding (exon) and non-coding regions (intron and intergenic spacer). they span the different chlorop ... | 2011 | 21637837 |
