Identification and validation of a core set of informative genic SSR and SNP markers for assaying functional diversity in barley
A 'core set' of 28 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 28 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for barley was developed after screening six diverse genotypes (DGs) representing six countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, ...
Genetic Diversity in Durum Wheat Based on RFLPs, Morphophysiological Traits, and Coefficient of Parentage
Estimation of genetic diversity present in gene pools is an important determination for breeding programs. This study was conducted to determine the level of variation in durum wheat cultivars (Triticum turgidum L. var ...
Diversity for Disease Resistance in Barley Landraces from Syria and Jordan
A number of barley landraces collected in Syria and Jordan were evaluated for resistance to yellow rust, powdery mildew, scald and covered smut by inoculating single-head progenies with local pathogen strains during two ...
Genotyping-by-sequencing empowered genetic diversity analysis of Jordanian oat wild relative Avena sterilis
Recent advances in next generation sequencing technologies make genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) more feasible for molecular characterization of plant germplasm with complex and unsequenced genomes. Here we applied the GBS ...
Genetic diversity in barley landraces from Syria and Jordan
Single-head progenies derived from barley landraces collected along the Fertile Crescent in Syria and Jordan were evaluated for agronomic, morphological, and quality traits in a typical barley growing area in Northern ...
Assessment of genetic diversity among Jordanian wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) genotypes revealed by SSR markers
Wild barley, Hordeum spontaneum is the progenitor of cultivated barley. The center of diversity is in the Fertile Crescent in the Near East, where wild barley grows under a wide range of environmental and climatic conditions. ...
Generation and exploitation of EST-derived SSR markers for assaying molecular diversity in durum wheat populations
Durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. subsp. turgidum convar. durum (Desf.) MK] is an important cereal crop economically and nutritionally in the Central Asia and Caucasian, West Asia, and North Africa (CWANA) regions. Durum ...
Characterization and Assessment of Genetic Diversity of Wild Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) in Jordan
This study was conducted to survey and characterize wild populations of date palm in Jordan. Phenotypic parameters either vegetative, leaf morphology, physical and chemical properties of fruits, and genetic diversity within ...
