Begonia; DNA; alleles; genetic markers; genetic variation; germplasm; loci; nucleotide sequences; principal component analysis; sequence analysis
Abstract:
... In this study, we wanted to inspect whether the evolutionary driven differences in primary sequences could correlate, and thus predict the genetic diversity of related marker loci, which is an important criterion to assess the quality of any DNA marker. We adopted new approach of quantitative symbolic DNA sequence analysis called DNA random walk representation to study multiallelic marker loci fro ...

We compared the effects of iso-osmotic concentrations of polyethylene glycol 6000 (15 %) and NaCl (80 mM) on the physiological responses of this species in explants grown in the liquid Murashige and Skoog medium. Both salt a ...

It is hypothesized that since protein α-amylase inhibitor (α-AI) and stimulator might be present together in red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds, their in vitro interactions might influence their detection and quantification. Assay of α-AI using extracts from the embryonic axes revealed an unexpected finding in that the extracts stimulated rather than inhibited α-amylase activity. The co ...
