Identification of SSR markers through bulk segregant analysis and inheritance of resistance to yellow vein mosaic disease in okra ( L. Moench).

Unlabelled: Okra is an important traditional vegetable crop grown for its tender fruits in various tropical and sub tropical parts of the world. Yellow Vein Mosaic Disease (YVMD) is the major biotic factor causing severe threat to the okra fruit yield and qualities. The present study was conducted to find out the inheritance of resistance against YVMD and to identify the disease linked molecular markers through bulk segregant analysis.

Generation of doubled haploids in cauliflower.

Hybrids of cauliflower are in high demand world over due to their high yield potential, earliness, better quality, better resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Conventionally, hybrids are developed from the intercrossing of two diverse inbred parental lines which are developed through continuous inbreeding for 8-10 generations and still don't attain complete homozygosity. Doubled haploid technology on the other hand generate completely homozygous inbred lines in a single step.

Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping for Earliness, Fruit, and Seed Related Traits Using High Density Genotyping-by-Sequencing-Based Genetic Map in Bitter Gourd ( L.).

Bitter gourd ( L.) is an important vegetable crop having numerous medicinal properties. Earliness and yield related traits are main aims of bitter gourd breeding program.

High-Density GBS-Based Genetic Linkage Map Construction and QTL Identification Associated With Yellow Mosaic Disease Resistance in Bitter Gourd ( L.).

Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) in bitter gourd () is a devastating disease that seriously affects its yield. Although there is currently no effective method to control the disease, breeding of resistant varieties is the most effective and economic option. Moreover, quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with resistance to YMD has not yet been reported.

Genetic diversity and interrelationship among Indian and exotic melons based on fruit morphology, quality components and microsatellite markers.

Seventy melon ( L.) accessions comprising of landraces, inbred lines, cultivars, wild relatives and exotic populations were characterized using fifteen fruit traits and 30 SSR markers. Overall, aim of this study was to investigate the genetic relatedness across origins, horticultural groups and accession categories.

In Silico Identification and Validation of Potential microRNAs in Kinnow Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco).

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large family of 19-25 nucleotides, regulatory, non-coding RNA molecules that control gene expression by cleaving or inhibiting the translation of target gene transcripts in animals and plants. Despite the important functions of miRNAs related to regulation of plant growth and development processes, metabolism, and abiotic and biotic stresses, little is known about the disease-related miRNA. Here, we present a new pipeline for miRNA analysis using expressed sequence tags (ESTs)-based bioinformatics approach in Kinnow mandarin, a commercially important citrus fruit crop.
