Bulked segregant analysis was used to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to the Sw-5 gene for resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in tomato. Using two pools of phenotyped individuals from one segregating population, we identified four RAPD markers linked to the gene of interest. Two of these appeared tightly linked to Sw-5, whereas another, linked in repulsion phase, enabled the identification of heterozygous and susceptible plants. After linkage analysis of an F2 population, the RAPD markers were shown to be linked to Sw-5 within a distance of 10.5 cM. One of the RAPD markers close to Sw-5 was used to develop a SCAR (sequence characterized amplified region) marker. Another RAPD marker was stabilized into a pseudo-SCAR marker by enhancing the specificity of its primer sequence without cloning and sequencing. RAPD markers were mapped to chromosome 9 on the RFLP tomato map developed by Tanksley et al. (1992). The analysis of 13 F3 families and eight BC2 populations segregating for resistance to TSWV confirmed the linkage of the RAPD markers found. These markers are presently being used in marker-assisted plant breeding.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Black soybeans [<i>Glycine max</i> (L.) Merr] are among the important crops, but the cultivated resources are normally low-yielding, susceptible to diseases and low profit. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the genetic diversity of black soybean germplasms for breeding programs.

Portulaca umbraticola, commonly known as "Eleven o'clock", is a popular ornamental plant in Brazil, but its potential as a non-conventional food source remains underexplored. Assessing its genetic and cytogenetic diversity is crucial for breeding and selecting optimal accessions. In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity of P.

In this research, we analyzed Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) and Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate the genetic diversity of eighteen different onion genotypes with various resistant levels to FOC. The results showed that the polymorphism means between RAPD primers was 61.11 to 81.

Article Synopsis
- The Japanese quail is a small migratory bird native to East Asia, introduced to Iraq in the 1980s for research, focusing on its genetic diversity for conservation and breeding purposes.
- The study employed RAPD-PCR to analyze seven genetic lines of quail, revealing significant genetic variation across plumage types, with certain lines showing more genetic divergence than others.
- The findings suggest that selecting quail lines with the greatest genetic distance can enhance conservation efforts and breeding programs, aligning with modern strategies to maintain genetic diversity.
