TL;DR: This review is an attempt to evaluate critically the role of SCAR markers in authentication of medicinal herbs used in traditional formulations by converting RAPD amplicons into Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR) markers.

TL;DR: The robustness of the R 1 SCAR marker was demonstrated through the amplification of the marker in a diverse range of sunflower germplasm considered to possess the R1 gene, supporting the contention that this is a novel resistance gene.
Abstract: In this study we report on the identification of molecular markers, OX20600 and OO04950, linked to the geneRAdv in the proprietary inbred line P2. This gene confers resistance to most of the pathotypes of Puccinia helianthi identified in Australia. Analysis indicates these RAPD markers are linked to the resistance locus at 0.0 cM and 11 cM respectively. SCAR markers SCX20600 and SCO04950 derived from these two RAPD markers, and SCT06950 derived from a previously reported RAPD marker linked at 4.5 cM from the R1 rust resistance gene were developed. SCX20600 and SCO04950 were linked at similar distances from their resistance locus as the RAPD markers. SCTO6950 co-segregated completely with rust resistance. The robustness of the R1 SCAR marker was demonstrated through the amplification of the marker in a diverse range of sunflower germplasm considered to possess the R1 gene. The SCAR markers forRAdv were not amplified in the sunflower rust differential set thereby supporting the contention that this is a novel resistance gene. They did amplify in a number of proprietary lines closely related to the line P2. This locus is under further investigation as it will be useful in our attempts to use molecular-assisted breeding to produce durable resistance in sunflower to P. helianthi.

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the hypothesis that the red/yellow dimorphism is controlled by a monogenic system with the presence of the red anthocyanin pigmentation being dominant.
Abstract: A simple genetic basis for the red/yellow skincolor polymorphism in apple was verified using DNA markers. Bulked segregant analysis identified one 10-base oligomer that generated different fragments in each of the bulks. After testing the primer in four populations, two fragments were found to be associated with red skin color and another two fragments associated with yellow skin color. Three of the fragments (1160, 1180, and 1230 bp) were partly sequenced and found to share high sequence homology, suggesting these were generated from the same locus. A pair of universal primers were designed to amplify the fragments. In the 'Rome Beauty' x 'White Angel' population, two fragments were associated with red skin color; one fragment designated as A(1) (1160 bp) was from 'Rome Beauty' and another fragment (A(2), 1180 bp) was from 'White Angel'. Progeny possessing both fragments, or either one, had red fruit. Both parents displayed an alternate fragment, a(1) (1230 bp), associated with yellowskinned fruit. In three other crosses tested, only fragment A(1) co-segregated with red skin color; two fragments, a(1) and a(2) (1230 bp and 1320 bp), were associated with yellow skin color. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that the red/yellow dimorphism is controlled by a monogenic system with the presence of the red anthocyanin pigmentation being dominant. There was no indication that other modifier genes could reverse the effect of the locus (R f ) linked to the markers. Examination of amplification products in 56 apple cultivars and advanced breeding selections demonstrated that the universal primers could be used to correctly predict fruit skin color in most cases.

TL;DR: It is concluded that this simple RAPD technique is well suited to the epidemiological typing of VRE and the monitoring of its nosocomial spread.
Abstract: Sixty vancomycin-resistant vanA mutant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) isolates, collected during a 40-month period from 48 patients hospitalized in a French Cancer Referral Center, were typed by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and the results were compared with those previously obtained by typing with SmaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), which is currently recognized as the "gold standard." The discriminating power of RAPD typing, with seven primers and 11 combinations of primers, was tested on 18 strains, and only the most discriminating combination was further tested on the whole collection. We compared the epidemiological usefulness of RAPD typing of 60 clinical VRE isolates with that of SmaI PFGE typing. With primers AP4 and ERIC1R, RAPD generated 30 patterns versus the 36 patterns generated by SmaI PFGE. However, this did not hamper the epidemiologically correct clustering of 15 related strains and the detection of multiple colonization in nine patients. We conclude that this simple RAPD technique is well suited to the epidemiological typing of VRE and the monitoring of its nosocomial spread.

TL;DR: A high degree of polymorphism in restriction patterns of the ITS region, including part of 25S rDNA, has been reported for the first time in the charcoal rot fungus.
Abstract: Phenotypic and genetic diversity of 59 Macrophomina phaseolina isolates collected from various host species growing in or near cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) fields in four states of north and north-west India were characterized using RAPD and PCR–RFLPs of the ITS region. These isolates, and 11 from various hosts from culture collections, were classified into three mycelial phenotypes: dense, feathery and restricted, based on variable growth patterns on nutrient agar containing 120 mm chlorate. Pathogenicity of isolates was evaluated by measuring the length of stem lesions 21 days post-inoculation on the susceptible cluster bean genotype FS 277. Isolates showed considerable variation in aggressiveness, with the isolates from cluster bean with dense chlorate phenotype producing relatively higher lesion lengths on cluster bean plants. The results of the RAPD assay clearly distinguished the isolates on the basis of chlorate phenotype and host origin. Isolates from a single host were generally similar to each other, but differed distinctly from those from other hosts. Chlorate-sensitive isolates were distinct from chlorate-resistant isolates within a given host. A high degree of polymorphism in restriction patterns of the ITS region, including part of 25S rDNA, has been reported for the first time in the charcoal rot fungus.
