Molecular markers appear to be poor indicators of heritable variation in adaptive traits.
Direct comparison of population structure in markers with that in traits is made possible by …

To select candidate populations of wild species to be given priority for conservation, genetic
criteria gained from the study of molecular markers may be useful. Traditionally, diversity …

Genetic diversity at nine isozyme loci was surveyed in an endangered tree species, the
argan tree, endemic to south-western Morocco. The species is highly diverse (3.6 …

Background The economic importance of grapevine has driven significant efforts in
genomics to accelerate the exploitation of Vitis resources for development of new cultivars …

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

Biodiversity refers to variation within the living world, while genetic diversity represents the
heritable variation within and between populations of organisms, and in the context of this …

Allelic richness (number of alleles) is a measure of genetic diversity indicative of a
population's long-term potential for adaptability and persistence. It is used less commonly …

A collection of 1005 grapevine accessions was genotyped at 34 microsatellite loci (SSR)
with the aim of analysing genetic diversity and exploring parentages. The comparison of …

The core collection is a small subset that minimizes genetic redundancy while preserving
the maximum genetic diversity of the entire population. Research on the core collection is …

Molecular markers (SSR, SNP and DArT) and agronomical traits have been used in the
world's largest olive (Olea europaea L.) germplasm collection (IFAPA, Centre Alameda del …
