Simple sequence repeats (SSR) or micro-satellites are becoming standard DNA markers for plant genome analysis and are being used as markers in marker assisted breeding. De novo generation of micro-satellite markers through laboratory-based screening of SSR-enriched genomic libraries is highly tim...

The extent of genetic diversity and relatedness of cowpea germplasm from East Africa are poorly understood. A set of 13 microsatellites (SSR) and 151 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) markers were applied to assess the levels of genetic diversity in a sample of 95 accessions of local cowpea ...

Molecular-based characterization of open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) in maize is useful to define their unique profiles. A total of 58 SSR markers selected from a panel of 70 were used for genotyping three samples of 30, 50 and 100 plant bulks for each of 32 OPVs. The SSR markers detected a total...

Since 2003, non-compliant aflatoxin concentrations have been detected in maize produced in Italy. The most successful worldwide experiments in aflatoxin prevention resulted from distribution of atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus to displace aflatoxin-producers during crop development. The d...

In a bid to fast-track the process of selection of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes resistant to the cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses, a number of molecular markers have been developed to map resistance genes. The simple sequence repeat (SSR) ...

Theobroma cacao L. with its center of diversity in Central and South America was first introduced to West Africa in the mid-19th century and today the region produces 70% of the world's cocoa. Several distinct cocoa types have been introduced, cultivated, and intercrossed across the region. Also,...

Corky ringspot disease (CRS) resistance is an ideal target trait for breeding using marker-assisted selection (MAS) due to the high variability in field disease incidence that complicates screening for resistance. To develop molecular marker(s) associated with CRS resistance, a linkage map was co...

Oxytocin (OXT) and arginine-vasopressin (AVP) are two phylogenetically conserved neuropeptides that have been implicated in a wide range of social behaviors. Although a large body of research, ranging from rodents to humans, has reported on the effects of OXT and AVP administration on affiliative...
