Abstract
Ginger is an economically important and valuable plant around the world. Ginger is used as a food, spice, condiment, medicine and ornament. There is available information on biochemical aspects of ginger, but few studies have been reported on its molecular aspects. The main objective of this review is to accumulate the available molecular marker information and its application in diverse ginger studies. This review article was prepared by combing material from published articles and our own research. Molecular markers allow the identification and characterization of plant genotypes through direct access to hereditary material. In crop species, molecular markers are applied in different aspects and are useful in breeding programs. In ginger, molecular markers are commonly used to identify genetic variation and classify the relatedness among varieties, accessions, and species. Consequently, it provides important input in determining resourceful management strategies for ginger improvement programs. Alternatively, a molecular marker could function as a harmonizing tool for documenting species. This review highlights the application of molecular markers (isozyme, RAPD, AFLP, SSR, ISSR and others such as RFLP, SCAR, NBS and SNP) in genetic diversity studies of ginger species. Some insights on the advantages of the markers are discussed. The detection of genetic variation among promising cultivars of ginger has significance for ginger improvement programs. This update of recent literature will help researchers and students select the appropriate molecular markers for ginger-related research.

Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken for the assessment of 12 accessions of Zingiber officinale Rosc. collected from subcontinent of India by RAPD markers. DNA was isolated using CTAB method. Thirteen out of twenty primers screened were informative and produced 275 amplification products, among which 261 products (94.90%) were found to be polymorphic. The percentage polymorphism of all 12 accessions ranged from 88.23% to 100%. Most of the RAPD markers studied showed different levels of genetic polymorphism. The data of 275 RAPD bands were used to generate Jaccard's similarity coefficients and to construct a dendrogram by means of UPGMA. Results showed that ginger undergoes genetic variation due to a wide range of ecological conditions. This investigation was an understanding of genetic variation within the accessions. It will also provide an important input into determining resourceful management strategies and help to breeders for ginger improvement program.

Abstract
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess intraspecific variability and relationships in aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera L.). A total of 23 accessions from different geographic locations in Africa, Asia, and Polynesia were analyzed by 10 arbitrarily chosen GC-rich decamer primers. Using cesium chloride purified genomic template DNA, highly reproducible polymorphic fingerprints were generated by all 10 primers, resulting in a total of 375 informative characters. Only eight bands were monomorphic among all investigated accessions. A binary character matrix was generated by scoring for presence/absence of a band at a particular position, transformed into a matrix of pairwise distances using either the Jaccard or a simple matching coefficient, and analyzed by neighbour joining, UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averaging) cluster analysis, or split decomposition. All methods of data evaluation resulted in similar groupings that reflected the geographical origin of the samples. The African accessions formed a distinct isolated group, whereas Asian and Polynesian accessions proved to be more heterogeneous. With two exceptions (var. suavior and var. sativa), the RAPD data supported previous varietal classification based on morphological characters. Stepwise reduction of the number of evaluated characters did not affect branching patterns of the trees above a minimum threshold of 150. Key words : Dioscorea bulbifera, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), genetic variation, genetic relatedness.

Abstract
RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers generated by 30 random decamer primers were used to fingerprint 12 released cultivars and a breeding line of Gossypium hirsutum and 1 cultivar of G. barbadense presently under cultivation in Australia. Among a total of 453 developed markers, 69 (15.2%) were only present (unique) in the G. barbadense cultivar Pima S-7. Of the remaining markers, 128 (33.3%) were fixed in all 13 G. hirsutum cultivars. In pairwise comparisons of the degree of band sharing, nine closely-related cultivars showed 92.1-98.9% genetic similarity. Cluster analysis of genetic distance estimates between each of the cultivars revealed phylogenetic relationships in broad agreement with the known lineage of the cultivars. Ten of the G. hirsutum cultivars can be characterized individually based upon cultivar-specific RAPD markers, thus making it possible to differentiate closely related cultivars by molecular markers.

Abstract
Genetic variations of 15 Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri L.) accessions were evaluated using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers. During RAPD analysis, amplification of genomic DNA of the 15 accessions by 22 primers generated 197 fragments, of which 187 were polymorphic with an average of 8.95 bands per primer. The amplified products varied in size from 2,200 to 250 bp. Twenty-five selected ISSR primers produced 284 bands across 15 accessions, of which 270 were polymorphic with an average of 10.80 bands per primer. The PIC value ranges from 0.363 to 0.908 for RAPD primers, while 0.419 to 0.836 in case of ISSR. The size of amplified bands ranged from 2,800 to 240 bp. Similarity index values ranged from 0.16 to 0.95 (RAPD), 0.18 to 0.98 (ISSR) and 0.179 to 0.945 for pooled ISSR and RAPD markers data. Mantel test revealed the similar distribution pattern of the polymorphism between RAPD and ISSR markers and the correlation co-efficient (r) was 0.71384. The results indicated that both of the marker systems RAPD and ISSR, individually or combined can be effectively used in determination of genetic relationship among B. Monnieri accessions collected from different parts of Central India. It could be concluded that the information of genetic similarities and diversity among Brahmi accessions is necessary for their conservation and breeding programs.

Abstract
Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) provides a high-throughput whole-genome genotyping platform for the detection and scoring of hundreds of polymorphic loci without any need for prior sequence information. The work presented here details the development and performance of a DArT genotyping array for apple. This is the first paper on DArT in horticultural trees. Genetic mapping of DArT markers in two mapping populations and their integration with other marker types showed that DArT is a powerful high-throughput method for obtaining accurate and reproducible marker data, despite the low cost per data point. This method appears to be suitable for aligning the genetic maps of different segregating populations. The standard complexity reduction method, based on the methylation-sensitive PstI restriction enzyme, resulted in a high frequency of markers, although there was 52-54% redundancy due to the repeated sampling of highly similar sequences. Sequencing of the marker clones showed that they are significantly enriched for low-copy, genic regions. The genome coverage using the standard method was 55-76%. For improved genome coverage, an alternative complexity reduction method was examined, which resulted in less redundancy and additional segregating markers. The DArT markers proved to be of high quality and were very suitable for genetic mapping at low cost for the apple, providing moderate genome coverage.

Abstract
Trees of 68 apple cultivars, aimed for preservation by the 'National Program for diversity of cultivated plants' as mandate cultivars, were analysed using a set of 10 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primer pairs and the self-incompatibility (S-)locus to evaluate genetic diversity and reveal inter-cultivar relationships. The 12 polymorphic SSR loci exhibited 2 to 15 alleles, with expected heterozygozity (H(e)) ranging from 0.36 to 0.88 and a mean of 0.74. Numerous alleles were classified as rare or unique (35% and 18% respectively). For the S-locus, a total of 14 alleles were identified in this study. Five alleles, S1-S3, S5 and S7 had frequencies ranging from 11 to 18%, whereas the remaining 9 alleles were below 6%. All sexually obtained cultivars could be distinguished with the set of SSR loci. Sports were identical with their progenitors in two cases, but differed in one SSR allele in a third case. An SSR-based dendrogram, based on Roger's genetic distances, did not reveal any clear pattern of clustering. The genetic distances were, however, correlated with a corresponding matrix obtained in a previously conducted RAPD-based study of the same cultivars. Non-mandate parents of Swedish mandate cultivars together with some other reference cultivars were included in this study to check the accuracy of allele scoring, verify parentage and compare the results of this study with those presented in previously published studies. Some discrepancies in allele sizing were revealed and the possibilities of avoiding this problem are discussed.

Abstract
Populations of Dalbulus maidis (DeLong and Wolcott) from the northeastern and central-southern regions of Brazil differ morphologically, suggesting that they could be genetically isolated. Here we used the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to estimate genetic structuring of this leafhopper species among five geographically distant localities across those regions and to estimate gene flow between populations. Ten specimens were sampled per population and genotyped with RAPD markers generated from amplification with nine oligonucleotides. The percentage of polymorphic loci was 78% in relation to the total number of amplified loci, and genetic similarity either between or within populations was higher than 0.72. Cluster analysis grouped specimens from the northeastern population (Mossoró/RN) into a single group, whereas central-southern specimens were not grouped in relation to their places of origin. Overall, the genetic subdivision index (Fst) was low (<or=0.113), whereas the gene flow estimate (Nm) was high (up to 8.53) between populations, except between the Mossoró/RN population and those of the central-southern region (Fst >or= 0.192 and Nm <or= 1.05). The relatively high rates of gene flow between central-southern populations suggest the occurrence of migration within that region, whereas the Mossoró/RN population seems to be genetically isolated.

Abstract
More than 9000 papers using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) or related techniques (e.g. the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR)) have been published from 1990 to 2005. The RAPD method has been initially used to detect polymorphism in genetic mapping, taxonomy and phylogenetic studies and later in genotoxicity and carcinogenesis studies. Despite their extensive use, these techniques have also attracted some criticisms, mainly for lack of reproducibility. In the light of their widespread applications, the objectives of this review are to (1) identify the potential factors affecting the optimisation of the RAPD and AP-PCR assays, (2) critically describe and analyse these techniques in genotoxicity and carcinogenesis studies, (3) compare the RAPD assay with other well used methodologies, (4) further elucidate the impact of DNA damage and mutations on the RAPD profiles, and finally (5) provide some recommendations/guidelines to further improve the applications of the assays and to help the identification of the factors responsible for the RAPD changes. It is suggested that after proper optimisation, the RAPD is a reliable, sensitive and reproducible assay, has the potential to detect a wide range of DNA damage (e.g. DNA adducts, DNA breakage) as well as mutations (point mutations and large rearrangements) and therefore can be applied to genotoxicity and carcinogenesis studies. Nevertheless, the interpretation of the changes in RAPD profiles is difficult since many factors can affect the generation of RAPD profiles. It is therefore important that these factors are identified and taken into account while using these assays. On the other hand, further analyses of the relevant bands generated in RAPD profile allow not only to identify some of the molecular events implicated in the genomic instability but also to discover genes playing key roles, particularly in the initiation and development of malignancy. Finally, to elucidate the potential genotoxic effects of environmental contaminants, a powerful strategy could be firstly to use the RAPD assay as a screening method and secondly to apply more specific methods measuring for instance DNA adducts, gene mutations or cytogenetic effects. It is also envisaged that these assays (i.e. RAPD and related techniques), which reflect effects at whole genome level, would continue to complement the use of emerging technologies (e.g. microarrays which aim to quantify expression of individual genes).

Abstract
Forensic botanical comparison can be hampered by the lack of appropriate DNA databases. While DNA sequence databases for many mitochondrial loci have been established for the identification of animal species, less is known regarding the genomes of plants. We report on the use of the trnL intron and the trnL-trnF intergenic spacer (IGS) in the chloroplast genome and establish a DNA sequence database for plant species identification. The DNA sequences at these two loci from commonly encountered plants, including monocots and dicots, were aligned to establish a DNA database of local plants. The database comprises 373 individual sequences representing 80 families, 206 genera and 269 species. These plant species can be grouped to species level using both sequence and length polymorphisms at these loci. To validate the database for future forensic purposes, we sequenced 20 blind samples and searched the local database and the databases of GenBank and EMBL. Fifteen of these 20 samples used in blind trial testing matched their respective species from our local DNA database but only 6 matched species registered in the GenBank and EMBL databases. The sequences of two species used in the blind trial did not match any sequence registered in any of these databases. Cluster analysis was performed to demonstrate the family and genus distribution of samples. Neighbor-joining trees of the two DNA regions from 70 samples of the local database and 10 of the species used in the blind trials were constructed and clustered to both family and genus. The bootstrap values of the trnL intron were higher than most of those of the trnL-trnF IGS. The sequence database described in this study can be used to identify plant species using DNA sequences of the trnL intron and trnL-trnF IGS of chloroplast genome and illustrates its value in plant species identification.

Abstract
We generated RAPD, SCAR, and conserved 18S rDNA markers for classifying and identifying cultivars of Pyrus pyrifolia (Japanese pear) and P. communis (European pear). PCR amplification with selected specific primers-LCH327UP and LCH327DOWN-was performed using DNA extracted from 25 P. pyrifolia and P. communis cultivars. The 1,380-bp fragment was amplified from P. communis cvs. Beurre Giffard, Cascade, Conference, Clapp's Favorite, Packhams Triumph, and Winter Nelis. RAPD has only a dominant single band of 1,380-bp, however, SCAR has one or more band of the same size. Amplification involving sequence-specific primer pairs LCH346UP and LCH346DOWN resulted in a loss of polymorphism. The 1,190-bp fragment was amplified from all P. pyrifolia cultivars. The conserved sequences of the 18S rDNA fragment of 25 pear cultivars were amplified and analyzed with 42 restriction enzymes. Compared with P. pyrifolia cultivars, they lacked the restriction enzyme site of KpnI and had one less RsaI site. Cultivar Gamcheonbae had a specific PstI restriction site, while cvs. Mansoo and Conference pear digested with AluI showed a different presentation than other cultivars. For the Okusankichi and Shinil pears TaqI was best marker for identification in P. pyrifolia. These results can be adopted for identifying pear cultivars; to date there is no standard marker for identifying the cultivars of fruit trees in Korean fruit tree breeding programs.

Abstract
Genetic diversity among 13 different cultivars of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) of Saudi Arabia was studied using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. The screening of 140 RAPD primers allowed selection of 37 primers which revealed polymorphism, and the results were reproducible. All 13 genotypes were distinguishable by their unique banding patterns produced by 37 selected primers. Cluster analysis by the unweighted paired group method of arithmetic mean (UPGMA) showed two main clusters. Cluster A consisted of five cultivars (Shehel, Om-Kobar, Ajwa, Om-Hammam and Bareem) with 0.59-0.89 Nei and Li's coefficient in the similarity matrix. Cluster B consisted of seven cultivars (Rabeeha, Shishi, Nabtet Saif, Sugai, Sukkary Asfar, Sukkary Hamra and Nabtet Sultan) with a 0.66-0.85 Nei and Li's similarity range. Om-Hammam and Bareem were the two most closely related cultivars among the 13 cultivars with the highest value in the similarity matrix for Nei and Li's coefficient (0.89). Ajwa was closely related with Om-Hammam and Bareem with the second highest value in the similarity matrix (0.86). Sukkary Hamra and Nabtet Sultan were also closely related, with the third highest value in the similarity matrix (0.85). The cultivar Barny did not belong to any of the cluster groups. It was 34% genetically similar to the rest of the 12 cultivars. The average similarity among the 13 cultivars was more than 50%. As expected, most of the cultivars have a narrow genetic base. The results of the analysis can be used for the selection of possible parents to generate a mapping population. The variation detected among the closely related genotypes indicates the efficiency of RAPD markers over the morphological and isozyme markers for the identification and construction of genetic linkage maps.

Abstract
Forty apricot cultivars with different geographic origins belonging to the germplasm collections of St. Istvan University (Budapest, Hungary) and the Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias (IVIA) (Valencia, Spain) were studied by means of SSR markers. The aim of the study was to determine the genetic relationships among genotypes from different eco-geographical groups. Sixteen primer pairs flanking microsatellite sequences in the peach genome were assayed. Eleven of them were polymorphic in the set of cultivars studied and allowed every genotype to be unambiguously distinguished. Genetic diversity in the population studied was analyzed using several variability parameters. A total of 34 alleles were detected with a mean value of 3.1 alleles/locus. The expected heterozygosity mean was 0.46 and the observed heterozygosity was 32% on an average leading to a high value of the Wright's fixation index (0.32). Additionally, UPGMA cluster analysis based on Nei's genetic distance grouped genotypes according to their geographic origins and pedigrees. SSR markers have proved to be an efficient tool for fingerprinting cultivars and conducting genetic-diversity studies in apricot.

Abstract
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have proven to be highly polymorphic, easily reproducible, codominant markers. However, developing an SSR map is very time consuming and expensive, and most SSRs are not specifically linked to gene loci of immediate interest. The ideal situation would be to combine a high-throughput, relatively inexpensive mapping technique with rapid identification of SSR loci in mapped regions of interest. For this reason, we coupled the high-throughput technique of AFLP mapping with subsequent direct targeting of SSRs identified in AFLP-marked regions of interest. This approach relied on the availability of peach bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library resources. We present examples of using this strategy to rapidly identify SSR loci tightly linked to two important, simply inherited traits in peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch): root-knot nematode resistance and control of the evergrowing trait. SSRs developed in this study were also tested for their transportability in other Prunus species and in apricots.

Abstract
RAPD markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity of 31 Brazilian cassava clones. The results were compared with the genetic diversity revealed by botanical descriptors. Both sets of variates revealed identical relationships among the cultivars. Multivariate analysis of genetic similarities placed genotypes destinated for consumption "in nature" in one group, and cultivars useful for flour production in another. Brazil’s abundance of landraces presents a broad dispersion and is consequently an important resource of genetic variability. The botanical descriptors were not able to differentiate thirteen pairs of cultivars compared two-by-two, while only one was not differentiated by RAPD markers. These results showed the power of RAPD markers over botanical descriptors in studying genetic diversity, identifying duplicates, as well as validating, or improving a core collection. The latter is particularly important in this vegetatively propagated crop.

Abstract
The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique is a simple method to detect DNA polymorphism. It is sensitive to reaction conditions. Small changes in the reactants' concentration cause variations in amplification products. Using DNA from Asparagus officinalis, Dactylis glomerata, Mercurialis annua and Escherichia coli, we examined variability in the amplification pattern associated with reaction constituents. An increase in the ratio of Taq DNA polymerase to DNA in the reaction increased the number of amplified fragments. Increasing the concentration of primer resulted in the amplification of low molecular weight DNA fragments, while lowering the concentration resulted in high molecular weight fragments. Subsets of amplified fragments required different concentrations of magnesium for their highest intensity. Mechanical shearing of DNA obtained by sonication led to reduction in amplification of a subset of products. Enzymatic fragmentation of DNA by restriction enzymes led to loss or gain of specific fragments, depending on the DNA, primer, and restriction enzyme. RAPD markers of pooled DNA of anonymous pedigree should be critically evaluated for frequent 'false positive' markers.

Abstract
Genetic relationships have seldom been analyzed with different types of molecular markers in order to compare the information provided by each marker class. We investigated genetic relationships among nine barley cultivars using separate cluster analyses based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs). Genomic DNA restricted with three enzymes and hybridized with 68 probes revealed 415 RFLPs (74.2% of all bands). Among the 128 primers used for RAPD analysis, 100 provided a reproducible profile, 89 of which revealed 202 polymorphic and 561 monomorphic bands (26.5 and 73.5%, respectively). A nonrandom distribution of 62 RAPDs with a tendency to cluster near centromeric regions was produced when these RAPDs were mapped using 76 doubled-haploid lines derived from a cross between two of the nine cultivars. The correlation between the RFLP and RAPD similarity matrices computed for the 36 pairwise comparisons among the nine cultivars was equal to 0.83. The dendrograms obtained by cluster analyses of the RFLP and RAPD data differed. These results indicate that in barley the information provided by RFLPs and RAPDs is not equivalent, most likely as a consequence of the fact that the two marker classes explore, at least in part, different portions of the genome.Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., genetic distance, molecular markers, cluster analysis.

Abstract
Maize glutathione S-transferase (GST) isozymes are encoded by a gene family comprising at least five genes, three of which (Gst I, II and III) have recently been isolated and sequenced. The enzymes are active as homo or heterodimers and exhibit intraspecific polymorphism including a "null" variant for the two major isoforms expressed in roots. Northern blot analyses performed on total root RNA from "null" and "plus" genotypes, using Gst I- and Gst II-specific probes, indicated that the Gst I gene controls the expression of the two major GST isoforms expressed in roots. Gst I and Gst II were mapped by RFLP analysis using an F2 population of 149 individuals previously characterized. Gst I was localized on the long arm of chromosome 8, while two putative Gst II loci were mapped to chromosome 8 (70 cM from Gst I) and 10, respectively.

Abstract
Several techniques of DNA analysis were applied to identify chrysanthemum cultivars. Unrelated cultivars could be distinguished by using RAPDs (random amplified polymorphic DNAs), inter-SSR (simple sequence repeat) PCR (polymerase chain reaction), hybridization-based DNA fingerprinting, as well as RFLPs (restriction fragment length polymorphisms). Cultivars with different flower colours and belonging to one family, i.e. vegetatively derived from 1 cultivar, appeared to have the same DNA fragment patterns, whichever technique was applied. The absence of polymorphisms between different accessions of the same cultivar indicated a high stability of the observed patterns.

The chloroplastic atpB-rbcL spacer and the first 53 codons of the rbcL coding sequence was sequenced for 40 apple cultivars and 15 wild species. This chloroplast DNA region is 904 base pairs long, and only five mutations sites were found among the tested samples. Although the cpDNA variation was low, some parentages are proposed based on the maternal inheritance of plastid DNA: the male and female parents are specified, or else suggested, for Worcester, Discovery, Starking, Starkrimson, Kidd's Orange Red, Priscilla, and Gloster, as well as for the putative wild origin for Malus x domestica.

Abstract
Eight taxa have recently been proposed as being encompassed by the genus Trichinella on the basis of allozyme and biological data. In this paper we show that an analogous 8 taxon structure for this genus results from the random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs). Five 10-mer or 20-mer primers were used under different polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions to produce multiband RAPD fingerprints from muscle larvae of 40 isolates of Trichinella spp. The resulting RAPD data were analysed following the numerical taxonomic approach, and the resulting classification was compared to that derived from allozyme data. The agreement found between allozymes and RAPDs, while supporting the polyspecific structure of the genus Trichinella, confirms the potential of RAPDs as a tool for the detection of cryptic species. The selected primers were tested on individual muscle larvae in an attempt to standardize a RAPD assay for the routine identification of the 8 taxa of Trichinella. Only 1 of the 5 primers yielded reproducible fingerprints from the single larvae. Using this primer, the 5 species and the 3 other taxa of the genus Trichinella can be identified in a single assay without the need for massive in vivo parasite production.

Abstract
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to estimate intra- and interspecific variations in the genus Lens (lentil). Twenty cultivars of L. culinaris ssp. culinaris, including 11 microsperma (small-seeded) and nine macrosperma (large-seeded) types, and 16 wild relatives (four accessions each of L. culinaris ssp. orientalis, L. odemensis, L. nigricans and L. ervoides), were evaluated for genetic variability using a set of 40 random 10-mer primers. Fifty reproducibly scorable DNA bands were observed from ten of the primers, 90% of which were polymorphic. Genetic distances between each of the accessions were calculated from simple matching coefficients. A dendrogram showing genetic relationships between them was constructed by an unweighted pair-group method with arithmetical averages (UPGMA). This study revealed that (1) expect for L. ervoides, the level of intraspecific variation in cultivated lentil is lower than that in wild species, (2) L. culinaris ssp. orientalis is the most likely candidate for a progenitor of the cultivated species, and (3) microsperma and macrosperma cultivars were indistinguishable by the RAPD markers identified here.

Abstract
RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers were used to fingerprint eight commercially available apple rootstocks (Nertchinsk, Northern Spy, Osman, Heyer 12, M.1, M.9, M.26 and MM.106), 10 winter hardy offsprings derived from the cross of Nertchinsk x M.9, six winter hardy offsprings derived from the cross of Nertchinsk x M.26 and one winter hardy offspring derived from each of the two crosses between Osman x Heyer 12 and Northern Spy x M.1. Phylogeny analysis using parsimony allowed us to draw the genetic relationship between these lines using only RAPD markers data. The resulting cladogram was compared to the true genetic relationship between these lines in order to assess the efficiency of RAPD markers in determining accurately the phylogenetic relationship. We also developed a DNA fingerprinting system based on 13 informative RAPD loci amplified by five RAPD primers that allowed the rapid identification of apple rootstocks.

Abstract
Breeding resistant apple plants is an alternative way to control fungal pathogens reducing the environmental impact due to the use of pesticides. The breeding of apple cultivars resistant to Venturia inaequalis could be much improved by marker-assisted selection. A molecular marker closely linked to the resistance locus called Vf could replace selection based on infection studies. To find such molecular markers, DNA of progenies from crossings of a resistant and a susceptible apple tree was subject to bulked segregant analysis. Two markers were found with a genetic distance of 10.6% and 19.7% recombination frequency to the Vf locus.

Abstract
Multiple arbitrary amplicon profiling (MAAP) uses one or more oligonucleotide primers (> or = 5 nt) of arbitrary sequence to initiate DNA amplification and generate characteristic fingerprints from anonymous genomes or DNA templates. MAAP markers can be used in general fingerprinting as well as in mapping applications, either directly or as sequence-characterized amplified regions (SCARs). MAAP profiles can be tailored in the number of monomorphic and/or polymorphic products. For example, multiple endonuclease digestion of template DNA or the use of mini-hairpin primers can enhance detection of polymorphic DNA. Comparison of the expected and actual number of amplification products produced with primers differing in length, sequence and GC content from templates of varying complexity reveal severe departures from theoretical formulations with interesting implications in primer-template interaction. Extensive primer-template mismatching can occur when using templates of low complexity or long primers. Primer annealing and extension appears directed by an 8 nt 3'-terminal primer domain, requires sites with perfect homology to the first 5-6 nt fom the 3' terminus, and involves direct physical interaction between amplicon annealing sites.

Abstract
The fungus Peronospora parasitica (Pers. ex Fr.) Fr. is an obligate biotroph infecting a wide range of host species in the family Cruciferae. Isolates from different hosts are morphologically similar, and pathotypes are usually distinguished on the basis of host range. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprints were generated from a range of P. parasitica isolates from different Brassica species. Reaction conditions, in particular DNA template, primer and Mg(2+) concentrations, were optimized to ensure that amplifications were reproducible. Possible artefacts arising through host plant DNA were assessed by including such DNA in control reactions. Confirmation that diagnostic RAPD bands were generated from fungal DNA was also obtained by Southern hybridization of a RAPD band to genomic fungal DNA. By screening 20 decamer primers, 2 were found to detect sufficient genetic variation to allow complete differentiation between pathotypes. These results illustrate the potential value of RAPDs for detecting polymorphisms between isolates of a non-culturable plant pathogenic fungus.
