Summary: AFLP analysis revealed genetic polymorphism among wabisuke camellia and its relative species, suggesting the two old 'Uraku' trees are asexually-propagated clonal strains. The genetic distance between wabisuke cultivars and Chinese camellias was greater than that between wabisuke cultivars and Camellia japonica. Wabisuke camellias can be classified into two subgroups based on their genetic characteristics.

Summary: A study on the genetic diversity and population structure of 16 coconut accessions from the International Coconut Genebank for South Asia and the Middle East (ICG-SAME) in India revealed high genetic diversity. The analysis used 35 SSR loci and found that the accessions exhibited different numbers of alleles, indicating potential for marker-assisted selection in coconut.

Summary: This study genotyped 63 sweet cherry accessions, identifying 38 distinct allelic profiles and revealing significant genetic separation between Austrian sweet cherry landraces and international/modern varieties. The chosen SSR markers proved highly informative, with an average of 6.3 alleles per locus and above-average expected and observed heterozygosity levels, highlighting the potentially valuable genetic resources present in Austrian germplasm for future breeding efforts.

Summary: Jujube is a commercially important tree native to China due to its high nutritional value, widespread distribution, and diverse germplasm resources. The cultivation of jujube holds potential in providing food security and income for people living in arid and semi-arid regions. Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are essential for evaluating the genetic diversity and germplasm resources of jujube. However, traditional methods of SSR development are time-consuming and inefficient. A novel approach called Multiple-Genome-Based SSR identification (MGB-SSR) was developed to quickly screen for polymorphic SSRs in the jujube genome. This study successfully differentiated jujube germplasm using 12 SSR markers and provided valuable information for jujube researchers and breeders.

Summary: Our study utilized AFLP markers to assess the genetic variations and identify different M. sagu populations in Sarawak. We obtained polymorphic fragments and assessed their information content, marker index, and resolving power. The results showed that Mukah had higher diversity compared to Pusa, and a significant positive correlation was observed between genetic divergence and geographical distance. Our study highlights the effectiveness and reliability of AFLP markers for studying genetic variations and identifying M. sagu.

Summary: This study used high-quality de novo-sequenced maize genomes to investigate the distribution and polymorphism of SSRs. The results showed that SSRs were more densely present in the telomeric region than the centromeric region, and were more abundant in genic sequences than intergenic sequences. The length and density of SSRs were found to be under the control of unknown evolutionary forces. The SSR polymorphism observed in different chromosome regions and motifs can be used as valuable genome resources for maize genetic research and molecular breeding.

Summary: Cotton plants have nectar-containing nectaries that attract both beneficial and damaging insects, but a mutation exists that reduces the attractiveness of cotton to insects. This study identified DNA markers that can be used for marker assisted selection of the trait, leading to the development of cotton cultivars with decreased insect attractiveness.

Summary: This study explores the potential of a (CT)n-SSR marker in disease resistance breeding and the hereditary property of disease resistance traits in shrimp offspring. The study finds that shrimp with shorter (CT)n repeats exhibit higher resistance to viral pathogens, while those with longer (CT)n repeats show higher tolerance to bacterial infection. These findings suggest that the (CT)n-SSR marker can be used for selective breeding for resistance to both viruses and bacteria in shrimp.

Summary: The study demonstrated that different olive cultivars have specific optimal growth media and factors, leading to improved micropropagation rates. The importance of in vitro growth parameters, such as media, zeatin, mannitol, and light intensity, were highlighted for enhancing micropropagation indices. Genetic stability analysis showed cultivar-dependent true-to-type characteristics in micropropagated olives.

Summary: In this study, 20 wheat lines were evaluated for morphological and genetic diversity using eight simple sequence repeats markers from Wheat Microsatellite Consortium (WMC). Variations were observed among the wheat lines for most of the studied traits. Genetic diversity analysis revealed the presence of 16 alleles at eight SSR markers, with an average of 2.00+/-0.534 alleles per locus. The highest number of alleles was observed for marker WMC78, and genotypes AC and AA were predominantly found in high-yielding lines Borlaug-2016 and Zincol-2016.

Summary: By using genome-wide association study (GWAS) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis, this study revealed the association between leaf petiole angle (LPA) and auxin, brassinosteroid, and ethylene signaling pathways as well as the cell division pathway in rapeseed. Potential candidate genes involved in regulating LPA were identified, providing insights into the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation at the seedling stage in rapeseed.
