Estimation of genetic diversity among 34 genotypes in the genus Cajanus with contrasting host response to the pod borer and its allied pests

TL;DR: The genetic divergence among 34 genotypes belonging to 12 species of genus Cajanus were carried out using plant pest interaction and DNA marker analysis and the clustering of genotypes based on Jaccard’s similarity coefficient vis-a-vis Nei‘s genetic distance agreed with the sectional classification of the genus Cjanus.

Advances in genetic transformation of important pulse crop pigeonpea

TL;DR: All the strategies discussed in the present review will definitely contribute to biotechnological breeding programmes of pigeonpea for its improvement.

Nuclear DNA content of some important plant species

TL;DR: This survey identified several horticultural crops in a variety of families with genomes only two or three times as large asArabidopsis and several fruit trees (a pricot, cherry, mango, orange, papaya, and peach) that should facilitate molecular studies of these crops.

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.

Sanwen Huang, +95 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo, and identifies 686 gene clusters related to phloem function.
