Development of a doubled haploid mapping population and linkage map for the bread wheat cross Kariega × Avocet S
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: R. Prins --- , South Africa V.P. Ramburan --- , South Africa Z.A. Pretorius --- Department of Plant Sciences, South Africa L.A. Boyd --- Department of Disease and Stress Biology, John Innes Centre, UK W. H.P. Boshoff --- , South Africa P.H. Smith --- Department of Disease and Stress Biology, John Innes Centre, UK J.H. Louw --- Department of Genetics, South AfricaA doubled haploid wheat population of 150 lines was constructed from the F1 of a cross between cultivars Kariega and Avocet S using the wheat-maize technique. Segregation and linkage analysis of 203 DNA markers, two storage protein markers and the... -
Genetic diversity analysis of CIMMYT-mid-altitude maize inbred lines using AFLP markers
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: B.W. Legesse --- , Ethiopia A.A. Myburg --- Department of Genetics & Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), South Africa K.V. Pixley --- , Zimbabwe A.M. Botha --- Department of Genetics & Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), South AfricaInformation on genetic variability of maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines can be helpful in developing high yielding varieties in a breeding programme. The objectives of this study were to investigate genetic diversity among 21 CIMMYT-mid-altitude maize inbred lines and... -
Genetic distance analysis of elite cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes in Malawi using morphological and AFLP marker techniques
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: I. R.M. Benesi --- Department of Plant Sciences, South Africa M.T. Labuschagne --- Department of Plant Sciences, South Africa A. G.O. Dixon --- , Nigeria C.D. Viljoen --- Department of Plant Sciences, South Africa N.M. Mahungu --- , MalawiCassava is the second most important staple food crop in Sub-Saharan Africa and is also an important food and cash crop in Malawi. A prerequisite for any genetic improvement programme is knowledge of the extent of genetic variation present between... -
Comparative genetic analysis of highland maize inbred lines using AFLP and SSR markers
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: B.W. Legesse --- , Ethiopia A.A. Myburg --- Department of Genetics & Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), South Africa K.V. Pixley --- , A.M. Botha --- Department of Genetics & Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), South AfricaThe objectives of the study were (1) to compare the informativeness of SSR and AFLP markers in genetic diversity analysis of highland maize inbred lines, and (2) to compare their effectiveness in classifying the inbred lines into heterotic groups. Thirty-two... -
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) Based Genetic Diversity Studies in Betel Vine (Piper betle L.)

Hima Bindu --- Section of Medicinal Crops, Devendra Singh --- CSIR National Botanical Research Institute, R.S. Katiyar --- CSIR National Botanical Research Institute, S.K. Tewari --- CSIR National Botanical Research Institute, Rakesh Nainwal --- CSIR National Botanical Research Institute,Betel vine has been identified as an important cash crop in India. It is a vegetatively propagated plant and more than 100 landraces (cultivars) are cultivated in India. They are often named after the localities where they are grown. To...
