TL;DR: This paper aims at providing reliable and cost effective genotyping conditions, level of polymorphism in a range of genotypes and map position of newly developed microsatellite markers in order to promote broad application of these markers as a common set for genetic studies in pea.

TL;DR: A sample set of registered perennial ryegrass varieties was used to compare how morphological characterisation and AFLP and STS molecular markers described variety relationships, suggesting these molecular-marker techniques could be suitable methods for investigating disputable distinctness situations or possible EDV relationships.

TL;DR: Investigation of genetic similarity between populations from both continents made it possible to identify various types of American maize introduced into Europe at different times or in different places and which have given rise to distinctive European races.

TL;DR: RFLPs proved clearly superior to isozymes both to identify the origin of a given individual and reveal a relevant genetic structure among populations, suggesting that both enzyme and DNA markers are subject to similar evolutionary forces.

TL;DR: The analysis of larger sets of populations by means of molecular markers is advocated in order to gain insight into the history of maize germplasm and set up appropriate strategies for the use of genetic resources in breeding programs.
