Molecular Markers Applied to Maize Breeding
Three experiments were conducted to develop methods to practically apply restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to maize (Zea mays L.) breeding. Applications included those requiring linkage between marker loci and loci governing traits of interest and those not requiring linkage.

Incorporating molecular markers into applied maize breeding
Two experiments were conducted to study applying molecular marker technologies to maize breeding. Both isozymes and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used as markers, and associations were established between these markers and different quantitative traits. Comparisons were …

Phytophthora nicotianae: Fungicide Sensitivity, Fitness, and Molecular Markers
Mefenoxam has been a premier compound for Phytophthora disease control in the nursery industry for 30 years. The primary objectives of this research were to examine whether Phytophthora species have developed resistance to this compound and to investigate fungicide resistance management strategies. …

Application of molecular markers to early generation testing in maize breeding
… was conducted to determine the usefulness of molecular marker information to enhance the predictability of early generation testing.

Molecular markers for the assessment of genetic variability in threatened plant species
La variabilità genetica è un importante strumento per lo studio e la conservazione della biodiversità in specie rare e minacciate di estinzione. Durante il mio dottorato mi sono quindi occupata di mettere a punto diverse metodologie molecolari al fine di valutare la diversità genetica in due specie …

The assessment of forensic molecular markers for skin colour in South Africans
The scientific development of innovative molecular techniques has transformed the approach towards human identification. In forensic casework, the emergence of molecular phenotyping, or phenotypic prediction from DNA, has mitigated some challenges involving the unavailability of references samples …

Assessment of 13 Forensic Molecular Markers for skin colour in South Africa
Molecular phenotyping is the use of informative genetic variation to estimate appearance. This concept can be applied in a forensic context to predict the appearance of suspects or decayed deceased individuals, which would otherwise remain unidentifiable. This concept has importance in a local …

Inference of phylogenetic relationships in passerine birds (Aves: Passeriformes) using new molecular markers
… passerine phylogenetic relationships using new molecular markers. The monophyly of the largest avian order Passeriformes (~59% of all living birds) and the division into its suborders suboscines and oscines are well established. Phylogenetic relationships within the group have been extremely …

Novel molecular markers of disease-association among strains of Streptococcus suis: a genomic approach
… the use of a genomic approach to identify novel molecular markers to differentiate Streptococcus suis (S. suis) isolates into two populations, i) disease-associated and ii) non-disease associated. S. suis is a Gram-positive coccus that is considered one of the most important zoonotic bacterial …

The assessment of molecular markers for skin colour determination in the South African population
Molecular markers associated with skin colour need to be investigated to determine viability and discriminatory power within the SA population. The use of phenotyping as a tool to aid forensic investigation is becoming incorporated internationally and its use within SA needs to be considered. This …

Predicting molecular markers of development and regeneration through integrative analysis of high-throughput genomics data
… such transcripts and proteins are termed molecular markers. Molecular markers are indispensable in many facets of scientific research and can ultimately be used to reveal the biology behind their functions as such. However, in many cases, knowledge of which markers are ideal for a given …

Application of molecular markers to characterize potato plants derived from anther culture and protoplast fusion
… by both parents. This study aims to apply the molecular tool of RAPD mapping as an efficient agent of plant (potato) genetic characterization of anther-derived monoploids and putative hybrids of a somatic fusion of two monoploids.

Utilization of tissue culture methods and molecular markers for improvement of Solanum phureja Juz. & Buk.
… of genetically diverse parents using RAPD markers and to develop high yielding diploid potato germplasm that may be instrumental in new cultivar development were addressed. Genetic diversity among in vitro plantlets of S. phureja monoploids (which represent DM maternal genotypes) and …

Palladium uptake and its effect on behavioural and molecular markers in the freshwater shrimp Gammarus pulex
The expanded use of platinum group elements (PGEs), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh), in automobile catalysts has led to increased levels of these metals in aquatic environments. However, data regarding acute toxicity and the sublethal effects of these metals on aquatic biota are …

Identification of molecular markers and association mapping of selected loci associated with agronomic traits in rice
… Analysis as a procedure was evaluated to select molecular markers associated with complex traits in US rice germplasm. Markers for percent head rice, percent total rice, and grain yield were identified with high levels of correct classification that mapped within or near traditional Quantitative …
