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 ...

Abstract:
... Short-term treatment of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber discs with CdCl₂ solution elevated both the StPCS1 transcript level, phytochelatin synthase (PCS) activity and contents of phytochelatin (PC) and abscisic acid (ABA). Similar effects but less marked were noticed after treatment of tuber tissues with ABA solution. Cd-treatment increased also cysteine (CYS) content but did not change glutat ...
