TL;DR: Leaves of 22 accessions of olive from three named cultivars, and 17 accessions from cultivars with names that are suspected to include synonyms, showed a within-cultivar genetic similarity of at least 98% irrespective of source, while Verdale showed a high genetic variability, with some accessions having less than 80% similarity to others.

TL;DR: A 3-year study comparing both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and RT-PCR for the detection of PNRSV and PDV using 175 almond leaf samples was found to be more sensitive than ELISA, especially when followed by nested PCR for the Detection of PDV.

TL;DR: The distribution of these clusters within the population suggests that the predominant mode of feral spread was by fruit drop close to the parent trees, with occasional wider dispersal by animals or birds.

TL;DR: A method for characterizing Glu-D3 alleles using a combination of SDS-PAGE and multiplexed PCR-based DNA markers is described, permitting the estimation of the effects of these alleles on end-use quality and the selection of desirable alleles and allelic combinations in wheat breeding.

TL;DR: Investigation of a particular glutenin subunit allele in an Australian cultivar, H45, finds that it overexpresses Bx subunits and that it has relatively low un-extractable polymeric protein (an indicator of weak dough), and proposes and presents evidence that Glu-B1br is co-inherited withLow un- Extractable Polymeric protein.
