TL;DR: There was no consistent pattern of host association between the two sympatric genotypes and their respective host plants, which supports the need for additional studies to determine which other forces keep the genotypes separate, and what is the degree of genetic differentiation between these populations.

TL;DR: Eight genotypes of the main Fragaria x ananassa cultivars grown in Argentina were analysed using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique combined with electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels, confirming the need for DNA analysis to prevent misidentification of cultivars.

TL;DR: This standardized method, which can be automated for high-throughput phenotyping, could represent a useful tool in breeding programmes for identifying soybean cultivars with improved performance under drought conditions.

TL;DR: The methodological optimization of molecular diagnosis is presented and its efficiency with that of ELISA immunochemistry technique is compared and the molecular approach showed greater sensitivity for the detection of both the bacterial and viral diseases evaluated.

TL;DR: The study proposed combining a simple collection of urediniospore with a subsequent analysis by AFLP was useful to examine the molecular polymorphism of samples of P. pachyrhizi collected and might have a significant contribution to the knowledge of its genetic diversity.
