Lytic and Molecular Evidence of the Widespread Coriander Leaf Spot Disease Caused by .

L. is a globally significant economic herb with medicinal and aromatic properties. While coriander leaf blight disease was previously confined to India and the USA, this study presents new evidence of its outbreak in Africa and the Middle East caused by .

The Potential Genetic Effect for Yield and Foliar Disease Resistance in Faba Bean ( L.) Assessed via Morphological and SCoT Markers.

Faba bean is considered one of the most prominent grain legumes, with high protein content for human food consumption and livestock feed. The present study evaluated the nature of gene action and determined the genetic diversity among different populations of three crosses for resistance to foliar diseases at the molecular level. Analysis of variance exposed significant differences among the generations for all measured traits.

Genetic diversity analysis in wheat cultivars using SCoT and ISSR markers, chloroplast DNA barcoding and grain SEM.

Background: Wheat is a major cereal that can narrow the gap between the increasing human population and food production. In this connection, assessing genetic diversity and conserving wheat genetic resources for future exploitation is very important for breeding new cultivars that may withstand the expected climate change. The current study evaluates the genetic diversity in selected wheat cultivars using ISSR and SCoT markers, the rbcL and matK chloroplast DNA barcoding, and grain surface sculpture characteristics.

Eco-physiological response and genotoxicity induced by crude petroleum oil in the potential phytoremediator Vinca rosea L.

Background: Phytoremediation is determined as an emerging green technology suitable for the safe remediation and restoration of polluted terrestrial and aquatic environments. In this study, the assessment of an ornamental plant, Vinca rosea L., as a phytoremediator of crude oil in polluted soils was conducted.

Genetic variation among pumpkin landraces based on seed qualities and molecular markers.

Background: Germplasm identification is an essential connection linking the conservation and exploitation of crop genetic resources in several plant breeding programs. This study highlights the biochemical and molecular variations in a collection of pumpkin genotypes representing four climate zones. The information could help improve germplasm management and sustainable exploitation of the neglected genotypes.

Developing a new genic SSR primer database in faba bean (Vicia faba L.).

The goal of this research was to develop a new genetic database of simple sequence repetition (SSR) primers for faba and classify them according to their target genes and respective biological processes. Approximately 75,605 and 148,196 previously published genomic and transcriptomic faba sequences, respectively, have been used to detect possible SSRs. The numbers of identified SSRs from each dataset were 25,502 and 12,319, respectively.

In vitro propagation and DNA barcode analysis of the endangered Silene schimperiana in Saint Katherine protectorate.

Background: Anthropogenic activity, climate change, pollution, and exploitation of natural resources are some reasons that cause threatening of plant diversity. Silene schimperiana is an endangered plant species in Egypt and is endemic to the high mountain of Saint Katherine Protected Area in southern Sinai. The purpose of the study was the ex situ conservation of Silene schimperiana through in vitro propagation and DNA barcode analysis.

Genetic Diversity among Selected Cultivars Using Inter-Retrotransposon-Amplified Polymorphism, Chloroplast DNA Barcodes and Morpho-Agronomic Trait Analyses.

Alfalfa ( L.) is a major forage crop of family Fabaceae and is frequently cultivated in Egypt. The present study is concerned with the genetic discrimination of fifteen alfalfa cultivars from three different countries (Egypt, Australia, and USA) using two molecular approaches: inter-retrotransposon-amplified polymorphism (IRAP) markers and two chloroplast DNA barcodes K and the H in addition to the analysis of fifteen morpho-agronomic traits.

KASPspoon: an in vitro and in silico PCR analysis tool for high-throughput SNP genotyping.

Motivation: Fine mapping becomes a routine trial following quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies to shrink the size of genomic segments underlying causal variants. The availability of whole genome sequences can facilitate the development of high marker density and predict gene content in genomic segments of interest. Correlations between genetic and physical positions of these loci require handling of different experimental genetic data types, and ultimately converting them into positioning markers using a routine and efficient tool.
