Abstract
The phylogenetic relationships of 60 accessions representing ten species of the genus Hordeum were investigated based on AFLP markers and seed storage protein SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. A total of 339 AFLP polymorphic markers were scored as a result of fingerprinting the studied taxa using seven AFLP primer combinations, whereas 46 polymorphic protein bands resulted from the water soluble and water non-soluble seed storage protein electrophoresis. The phylogenetic tree deduced from AFLP analysis is concordant in a large extent with that deduced from seed storage protein electrophoresis. The studied taxa were clustered according to their genome type into two main groups representing the Old and New World's species. Inside each group the species were clustered according to their genome type. Highly significant cophenetic correlation coefficient was obtained between both AFLP (0.96) and seed storage protein (0.89) indicating the reliability of the results.

Abstract
An analysis of Amplification fragment polymorphism of DNA from 27 accessions of 19 tetraploid Elymus species was carried out using 18 wheat microsatellite (WMS) primer pairs and 10 decamer primers. Ten WMS primer pairs produced multiple polymorphism on all accessions tested. Two independent phenograms, one based on WMS-PCR and one on RAPDs, separated the 19 tetraploid species into two main groups, viz., the SH genome species group and the SY genome species group. The results coincide with the genomic classification of these species and hence support previous studies showing that Elymus is not a monophyletic genus. The assays indicated that accessions within a species cluster together, which concurs with the morphological classification. Interspecific and intraspecific polymorphisms were detected by the WMS-PCR and RAPD analyses. Variation was observed among accessions of Elymus caninus. The WMS-PCR detected a much higher level of polymorphism than the RAPD analysis. WMSs seem to be more efficient markers than RAPD markers for studying the population diversity of Elymus species. The potential of cross-species amplification of microsatellite markers as an additional source for genetic analysis and applications in Elymus is discussed in the context of these results.

Abstract
Understanding the distribution of genetic diversity among individuals, populations and gene pools is crucial for the efficient management of germplasm collections and breeding programs. Diversity analysis is routinely carried out using sequencing of selected gene(s) or molecular marker technologies. Here we report on the development of Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) for pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) and its wild relatives. DArT tests thousands of genomic loci for polymorphism and provides the binary scores for hundreds of markers in a single hybridization-based assay. We tested eight complexity reduction methods using various combinations of restriction enzymes and selected PstI/HaeIII genomic representation with the largest frequency of polymorphic clones (19.8%) to produce genotyping arrays. The performance of the PstI/HaeIII array was evaluated by typing 96 accessions representing nearly 20 species of Cajanus. A total of nearly 700 markers were identified with the average call rate of 96.0% and the scoring reproducibility of 99.7%. DArT markers revealed genetic relationships among the accessions consistent with the available information and systematic classification. Most of the diversity was among the wild relatives of pigeonpea or between the wild species and the cultivated C. cajan. Only 64 markers were polymorphic among the cultivated accessions. Such narrow genetic base is likely to represent a serious impediment to breeding progress in pigeonpea. Our study shows that DArT can be effectively applied in molecular systematics and biodiversity studies.

Abstract
The genetic variation of sixteen wild, Spanish populations of Thinopyrum junceum and Thinopyrumjunceiforme and their interspecific relationships were analyzed. The relationships between these species and the diploids T. bessarabicum and T. elongatum were also investigated. The number of phenotypes and the composition of bands yielded by the electrophoretic separation of endosperm proteins were used to estimate intra- and interpopulational variability. DNA polymorphism generated by 24 arbitrary 10-mer primers and 14 specific 20-mer primers was used to determine interpopulational variability and interspecific relationships. Jaccard's coefficient of similarity was used to analyze presence and absence data in the DNA polymorphism and endosperm protein determinations of individual plants. Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient was used to analyse interpopulational variation using endosperm protein band frequency data. Dendrograms were constructed using an unweighted pair group method with arithmetical average (UPGMA). The high level of intrapopulational variability found in T. junceum and T. junceiforme was inconsistent with the traditional classification of these species as self-pollinating. The level of interpopulational variation varied according to the degree of polymorphism of the corresponding markers. The endosperm proteins and random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) proved to be the most polymorphic markers to those used although only the former were able to distinguish between the different populations. Interspecific relationships were consistently confirmed by all the PCR-based markers, and were also in agreement with the results of other authors.

Abstract
The sequences of the chitinase gene (Chi-26) and the internal transcribed spacer of 18S - 5.8S - 26S rDNA (ITS1) were determined to analyze the phylogenetic relationships among species representing the four basic genomes of the genus Hordeum. Grouping analysis based on data for Chi-26 gene sequences placed Hordeum secalinum (H genome) near the Hordeum murinum complex (Xu genome), and Hordeum bulbosum distant from the other species that carried the I genome. ITS sequence data showed the expected grouping based on the genome classification of the species studied. Different sequences of ITS were detected even in the genomes of the diploid species. The results are interpreted in terms of defective or unfinished concerted evolution processes in each taxon.

Abstract
Relatively few molecular analyses are available for diploid oat species, which constitute the majority of the wild species of Avena and, therefore, the principal natural reservoir of variability. The present work reports an RAPD-(random amplified polymorphic DNA) and RFLP-(restriction fragment length polymorphism) based study of the intra- and interspecific variability of seven diploid A-genome oat species. Both types of markers resulted in valid tools for identifying polymorphisms both within and between species. The two statistical analyses, UPGMA (unweighted pair group method, arithmetic mean) and PCoA (principal coordinate analysis), computed on the basis of genetic similarities estimated from RAPDs and RFLPs, showed that the different accessions grouped according to species, but the similarity coefficients were consistently higher in the RFLP analysis. Furthermore, slight differences were observed in the intra- and interspecific relationships found with the two types of markers. This may support the hypothesis that the polymorphisms revealed by the two types of markers may associate with regions of the genome having different evolutionary rates. The relationships among species are not identical to those deduced from previous karyotypic and morphological studies, thus suggesting a partially different evolutionary pathway in oat speciation.

Abstract
The phylogenetic relationship between four basic genomes designated H, I, Xa, and Xu in the genus Hordeum was studied using a nuclear DNA sequence. The sequence, cMWG699, is single copy in the H. vulgare genome, and tightly linked to the vrs1 locus which controls two- and six-rowed spikes. DNA fragments homologous to cMWG699 were amplified from diploid Hordeum species and the nucleotide sequences were determined. A phylogeny based on both base substitutions and an insertion-deletion event showed that the H- and Xa-genome groups are positioned in one monophyletic group indicating that the Xa-genome taxa should be included in the H-genome group. The large H-genome group is highly homogeneous. The I and Xu genomes are distinctly separated from H and Xa, and form sister groups. Another phylogeny pattern based on data excluding the insertion-deletion gave a result that the Xa genome forms a sister group to the H-genome group. The difference between the H and Xa genomes was affected only by a single base insertion-deletion event, thus the H and Xa genomes are likely to be closely related. The I and Xu genomes were again distinctly separated from the H and Xa genomes.

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
The use of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to study genetic variability in Scaevola (family Goodeniaceae), a native Australian species used in ornamental horticulture, is demonstrated. Plants of the genus Scaevola are commonly known as "fan flowers," due to the fan-like shape of the flowers. Nineteen accessions of Scaevola (12 cultivated and 7 wild) were studied using 20 random decamer arbitrary primers. Eight primers gave a distinct reproducible amplification profile of 90 scorable polymorphic fragments, enabling the differentiation of the Scaevola accessions. RAPD amplification of genomic DNA revealed a high genetic variability among the different species of Scaevola studied. Molecular markers were used to calculate the similarity coefficients, which were then used for determining genetic distances between each of the accessions. Based on genetic distances, a dendrogram was constructed. Though the dendrogram is in general agreement with the taxonomy, it also highlights discrepancies in the classification. The RAPD data showed that Scaevola aemula (series Pogogynae) is closer to Scaevola glandulifera of series Globuliferae than to the rest of members of series Pogogynae. In addition, the RAPD banding pattern of white flower S. aemula, one of the commercial cultivars, was identical to that of Scaevola albida, indicating their genetic similarity. Our study showed that there is a large genetic distance between commercial cultivars of Scaevola (Purple Fanfare, Pink Perfection, and Mauve Cluster), indicating considerable genetic variation among them. The use of RAPDs in intra- and inter-specific breeding of Scaevola is also explored.

Abstract
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers were used to estimate intra- and inter-specific variation in three species of an exclusive mangrove genus, Avicennia. Intrapopulation polymorphism among the 10 populations of Avicennia marina, as measured by percentage of polymorphic RAPDs, varied between 17.8 and 38.9%, with a standard deviation of 7.28, and the coefficient of variation was 26.5%. Polymorphism in Avicennia officinalis (Pichavaram population, 32.3%) and Avicennia alba (Coringa population, 37.8%) was greater than the intrapopulation variation observed in the populations of A. marina from each of the respective locations. It was greater than the average percentage of polymorphism at the intrapopulation level (27.47%) but far less than the variation measured at the interpopulation level in A. marina. Interpopulation variation in A. marina (76.7% for RAPDs and 66% for RFLPs) was greater than the variation in any individual population of this species, indicating a high degree of divergence between the populations. Interpopulation variation as revealed by RAPD and RFLP markers did not indicate the existence of more than one distinct entity in this species in India. The implications of these observations in genetic sampling and conservation are discussed. Statistical analysis of 109 RAPDs and 84 RFLPs observed in one representative genotype from each species showed that the widely distributed A. marina was more closely related to A. alba (genetic distance (1 − F) = 0.22) than to A. officinalis (genetic distance (1 − F) = 0.37). RAPD analysis of six randomly selected genotypes in each species and principal component analysis of the data also favoured this observation.Key words: mangrove, Avicennia, molecular markers, genetic diversity, conservation.

Abstract
The phylogenetic relationships among 39 wild Hordeum species, subspecies, and cultivated barley were investigated using RAPD markers as discriminating characters. Seventy-six RAPD fragments were generated using 12 single decameric primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequences. Amplification reactions resulted in fragments ranging in length between 200 and 2000 bp. Clearly resolved bands were scored for their presence or absence in a binary matrix. Amplified products were treated as independent characters to generate a phenogram using the NTSYS-PC package. Tree topology was generally found to be consistent with those based on morphological treatments. However, a few species like H. erectifolium, H. jubatum and, to a lesser extent, H. bulbosum occupied a position different from previous classifications. The results demonstrated that RAPD technology represents a useful and reliable tool for detecting polymorphism for phylogenetic studies. Key words : RAPD analysis, molecular markers, phylogenetic studies, Hordeum species, barley.

Abstract
Eleven populations of the Heterodera avenae complex (four Spanish, two British, two French, and three Swedish) were studied by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. From 5 to 11 fragments were obtained with each of 14 random primers, with fragment size ranging from 200 to 2200 bp. Cluster analysis of the 11 populations, using 108 scorable markers, separate these populations into two main groups. These groups coincide with what is known as the "true" H. avenae and the "Gotland strain" or "British pathotype 3" of H. avenae. The results also clarify the relationships among some members of the H. avenae complex established previously using morphological and biochemical criteria.

Abstract
The introgression of rye DNA into the wheat genome was studied using random decamer and specific primers with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA from paired near-isolines in Chisholm and Arkan backgrounds differing with respect to the presence of a 1 RS.1 BL translocation was amplified with 120 arbitrary sequence primers. Two of the primers (OPR 19 and OPJ07) amplified rye-specific DNA fragments. The OPR19 primer amplified a 1.35-kb fragment that appeared to be specific to the 1 RS.1 BL translocation, based on its presence only in lines carrying the 1 RS. 1 BL translocation. A fragment of the same size was also amplified in 1 RS.1 AL translocation lines. This 1 RS. 1 BL marker locus was designated Ximc 1. The other primer, OPJ07, amplified a 1.2-kb DNA sequence, that was designated Ximc 2, specific to the wheat-rye translocation in various wheat backgrounds. The sequences of the two marker loci were found to be different from each other. The Ximc 1 locus was a low-copy sequence which was also present in Balboa rye genomic DNA. Through the use of specific primers, the presence of the rye-specific marker was confirmed in hexaploid as well as in tetraploid wheat backgrounds. The use of RAPDs for the study of smaller alien introgressions into wheat is discussed.

Abstract
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana), an allotetraploid cereal, is widely cultivated in the arid and semiarid regions of the world. Three DNA marker techniques, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and inter simple sequence repeat amplification (ISSR), were employed to analyze 22 accessions belonging to 5 species of Eleusine. An 8 probe--3 enzyme RFLP combination, 18 RAPD primers, and 6 ISSR primers, respectively, revealed 14, 10, and 26% polymorphism in 17 accessions of E. coracana from Africa and Asia. These results indicated a very low level of DNA sequence variability in the finger millets but did allow each line to be distinguished. The different Eleusine species could be easily identified by DNA marker technology and the 16% intraspecific polymorphism exhibited by the two analyzed accessions of E. floccifolia suggested a much higher level of diversity in this species than in E. coracana. Between species, E. coracana and E. indica shared the most markers, while E. indica and E. tristachya shared a considerable number of markers, indicating that these three species form a close genetic assemblage within the Eleusine. Eleusine floccifolia and E. compressa were found to be the most divergent among the species examined. Comparison of RFLP, RAPD, and ISSR technologies, in terms of the quantity and quality of data output, indicated that ISSRs are particularly promising for the analysis of plant genome diversity.

Abstract
Allozyme, chloroplast (cpDNA) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers have been used to estimate genetic and taxonomic relationships among different populations of Abies alba and the relic population of A. nebrodensis. Twelve isozyme gene loci, as well as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) at cpDNA spacer regions between t-RNA genes were analysed. Moreover, a set of 60 random sequence 10-mer primers were tested. Over all isozyme loci, evident differences in allele frequencies among A. nebrodensis and A. alba populations were found, particularly at 2 loci, phosphoglucose isomerase (Pgi-a) and shikimate dehydrogenase (Skd-a). More than 10% of the total genetic diversity was due to differences among populations. High values of genetic distances among populations were also found. Out of the 60 primers tested, 12 resulted in a polymorphic banding pattern both within and among populations. A total of 84 RAPD fragments were produced by the 12 selected primers. A phenogram of relationships among populations was constructed based on RAPD band sharing: the differentiation of the A. nebrodensis population was evident. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was used to apportion the variation among individuals within populations and among populations. There was considerable variation within each population: even so, genetic divergence was found among populations. This pattern of genetic variation was very different from that reported for inbred species. Identical cpDNA amplification and restriction patterns were observed among all the individuals sampled from the populations. Taken together, the results of allozyme and RAPDs show a clear differentiation among A. nebrodensis and A. alba populations and provide support for their classification into two different taxonomic groups.

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.
