A key component of biodiversity is the number and abundance of individuals (ie genotypes),
and yet such intraspecific diversity is rarely considered when investigating the effects of …

Genetic mapping is a basic tool for eukaryotic genomic research. Linkage maps provide
insights into genome organization and can be used for genetic studies of traits of interest. A …

The recently described ascomycete fungus Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus (anamorph:
Chalara fraxinea) causes the current dieback of ash (Fraxinus excelsior) in large parts of …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) or microsatellites are one of the most popular sources of
genetic markers and play a significant role in gene function and genome organization. We …

Lily belongs to family liliaceae, which mainly propagates vegetatively. Therefore, sufficient
number of polymorphic, informative, and functional molecular markers are essential for …

Since the 1990s, brown root rot caused by Phellinus noxius (Corner) Cunningham has
become a major tree disease in Taiwan. This fungal pathogen can infect more than 200 …

The aim of this study was to develop a large set of microsatellite markers based on publicly
available BAC-end sequences (BESs), and to evaluate their transferability, discriminating …
