Assessment of genetic diversity among 131 safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) accessions using peroxidase gene polymorphism (POGP) markers.

Background: Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an old oilseed crop with a 1.4 GB genome size and its flowers are used for food coloring, dyes and pharmaceutical industries.

Determination of the effective radiation dose for mutation breeding in purple carrot (Daucus carota L.) and possible variations formed.

Background: Plant breeding allows altering the genetic structure of plants to meet human needs. The use of radiation technology for inducing mutations and -thereby- new phenotypic variants has become increasingly common as a tool for developing new crops. The aim of this study was to determine the effective gamma irradiation dose for inducing mutations in purple carrot.

Exploring the genetic variations and population structure of Turkish pepper ( L.) genotypes based on peroxidase gene markers.

is thought as one of the most diverse and significant genera due to its varied uses in different parts of the world. In this study, we worked with a total of 71 pepper genotypes from different locations of Turkey to investigate the level of their diversity using the peroxidase gene polymorphism (POGP) markers to reveal their population structure. For this purpose, 14 peroxidase primer pairs were used.
