TL;DR: AFLP analysis of four soybean near-isogenic lines (NILs) identified three AFLP markers putatively linked to a virus resistance gene from two sources, illustrating the relatively low genetic diversity present in cultivated soybean.

TL;DR: Genetic similarities were lower overall for maintainer (B)×restorer (R) crosses than for B×B or R×R crosses, and there were distinct subgroups within these groups that may represent unique heterotic groups and create a basis for formally describing heterotic patterns in sunflower.

TL;DR: Allele-specific-PCR and single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) markers were developed for 22 fatty acid synthesis genes belonging to seven gene families of Cuphea using homologous and heterologous DNA sequences and have broad utility for DNA fingerprinting and mapping genes and gene families.

TL;DR: Cuphea mutants displaying altered seed oil fatty acid profiles have been isolated following EMS mutagenesis and the phenotypes of single and double homozygous mutants are discussed.

TL;DR: A major QTL of qRtsc8-1 conferring TSC resistance was identified and fine mapped to a 721 kb region on chromosome 8 at 81 Mb, and production markers were validated in breeding lines as discussed by the authors .
