Several important aspects of the use of molecular markers in cassava germplasm characterization and in plant breeding programs are indicated. Basic concepts considered include protein and DNA electrophoresis. In the case of cassava, isoenzyme electrophoresis was applied to confirm duplicates dete...

Tecnicas moleculares para evaluar y mejorar el germoplasma vegetal
A series of problems associated with the nutritional quality and acceptability characteristics of Phaseolus vulgaris are discussed. These include water absorption restrictions (hard-shell or hard-seed phenomenon); starch digestibility; flatulence; protein digestibility; overall protein quality; h...

Nutritional quality and acceptability characteristics of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) : A selection of unsolved problems
Genetic diversity of common beans is presented for subdivisions of Mesoamerican groups. Three subgroups were identified by means of molecular markers, such as proteins (phaseolin) and allozymes.
