A comparison of HMW-GS, LMW-GS and RAPD fingerprinting for cultivar identification of some South African wheat cultivars
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: M.T. Labuschagne --- Department of Plant Breeding, Republic of South Africa H. Maartens --- Department of Plant Breeding, Republic of South Africa A.M. Oberholster --- Department of Genetics, Republic of South AfricaAccurate identification of breeding material is very important for the plant breeder. In South Africa, high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) have so far been used for wheat cultivar identification. This method can often not distinguish between cultivars, and other... -
Genetic relationships amongst macadamia varieties grown in South Africa as assessed by RAF markers
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: C.P. Peace --- , Australia P. Allan --- Discipline of Horticultural Science, South Africa V. Vithanage --- , Australia C.N. Turnbull --- Department of Agricultural Sciences, U.K B.J. Carroll --- , AustraliaMacadamia is an important horticultural crop of South Africa, and the major cultivars grown have a wide range of attributes. These cultivars originated from diverse backgrounds, but the genetic relationships between them are unclear. Here we describe new insights into... -
Comparison of SSR and AFLP analysis for genetic diversity assessment of Ethiopian arabica coffee genotypes
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Yigzaw Dessalegn --- , Ethiopia Liezel Herselman --- Department of Plant Sciences, Maryke Labuschagne --- Department of Plant Sciences,Knowledge of genetic diversity within and among genotypes of any crop is fundamental for estimation of the potential genetic gain in a breeding programme and effective conservation of available genetic resources. Currently, different molecular marker techniques are being developed for... -
DNA fingerprinting of open-pollinated maize seed lots to establish genetic purity using simple sequence repeat markers
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Peter S Setimela --- Maize Program, International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), Zimbabwe Marilyn L Warburton --- Corn Host Plant Resistance Research Unit, United States Department of Agriculture, USA Tertia Erasmus --- INCOTEC South Africa (Pty) Ltd, South AfricaMaize (Zea mays L.) plays a dominant role in farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). There has been a four-to-five-fold increase in the number of seed companies in SSA in the last decade, and yet more than half of small-holder...
