TL;DR: This article describes a network experiment involving several European laboratories, in which the reproducibility of three popular molecular marker techniques was examined: random-amplified fragment length polymorphism (RAPD), amplified fragment length SNP (AFLP) and sequence-tagged microsatellites (SSR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological characterization, essential oil composition and DNA genotyping of Ocimum basilicum L. cultivars
Massimo Labra,Mariangela Miele,Bernardetta Ledda,Fabrizio Grassi,Mauro Mazzei,Francesco Sala +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the combined analysis of morphological traits, volatile oil composition and molecular markers represents the optimal approach to verify taxonomy and to correlate it with agronomic traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of cytosine methylation pattern in response to water deficit in pea root tips
Massimo Labra,Alessandra Ghiani,Sandra Citterio,Sergio Sgorbati,Francesco Sala,Candida Vannini,M. Ruffini-Castiglione,Marcella Bracale +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the correlation between environmental stress and DNA methylation was studied by following the methylation status of cytosine residues in the DNA of pea root tips exposed to water deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of a secondary grapevine domestication centre detected by SSR analysis.
Fabrizio Grassi,Massimo Labra,Serena Anna Imazio,Alberto Spada,Sergio Sgorbati,Attilio Scienza,Francesco Sala +6 more
TL;DR: PCR-based microsatellite analysis has been applied to study the origin of some Italian cultivated grapevines from in situ direct domestication of the wild autoctonous grapevine, and suggests Lambrusco as an independent Vitis taxon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Diversity and Origin of Weedy Rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea) Populations Found in North-eastern China Revealed by Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers
TL;DR: Recent changes in farming practices and cultivation methods along with less weed management may have promoted the re-emergence and divergence of weedy rice in North-eastern China.
