The genetic differences between mungbean and its presumed wild ancestor were analyzed for domestication related traits by QTL mapping. A linkage map of was constructed using 430 SSR EST-SSR markers from species, all these mapped onto 11 groups spanning a total 727.6 cM. present is the first where number coincided with haploid chromosome mungbean. In 105 QTLs genes 38 identified. Compared situation in other Vigna crops, many have played an important role particular high contribution...
Genetic variation and population structure among 1603 soybean accessions, consisted of 832 Japanese landraces, 109 old 57 recent varieties, 341 landrace from 16 Asian countries 264 wild were characterized using 191 SNP markers. Although gene diversity germplasm was slight lower than that exotic germplasm, differentiation clustering analyses indicated clear genetic cultivated soybeans, soybeans soybeans. Nine hundred ninety eight accessions separated to a certain extent into groups...
Abstract Genetic differences between azuki bean (Vigna angularis var. angularis) and its presumed wild ancestor (V. nipponensis) were resolved into QTL for traits associated with adaptation to their respective distinct habits. A genetic linkage map constructed using progenies from a cross Japanese cultivated beans covers 92.8% of the standard map. reciprocal translocation parents was identified on basis having pseudolinkage group clustering seed productivity-related large effect near...
BackgroundThe objective of this study was to dissect into quantitative trait loci (QTLs) the large morphological and physiological differences between cultivated azuki bean (Vigna angularis) a wild relative infer commonalities QTLs for domestication-related traits across Asian Vigna with other warm-season legumes.
The genetics of domestication yardlong bean [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. ssp. cv.-gr. sesquipedalis] is particular interest because the genome this legume has experienced divergent domestication. Initially, cowpea was domesticated from wild in Africa; Asia a vegetable form cowpea, bean, subsequently evolved cowpea. Information on domestication-related traits would be useful for and breeding programmes, as well comparative study among members genus Vigna. objectives were to identify...
Yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. subsp. Sesquipedalis Group) (2n = 2x 22) is one of the most important vegetable legumes Asia. The objectives this study were to develop a genetic linkage map yardlong using SSR makers from related Vigna species and identify QTLs for pod length. was constructed 226 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers cowpea Unguiculata Group), azuki angularis (Willd.)

The research objectives were to determine aspects of the population dynamics relevant effective monitoring gene flow in soybean crop complex Japan. Using 20 microsatellite primers, 616 individuals from 77 wild (Glycine soja) populations analysed. All samples small seed size (< 0.03 g), directly collected field and came all parts Japan where soybeans grow, except Hokkaido. Japanese showed significant reduction observed heterozygosity, low outcrossing rate (mean 3.4%) strong genetic...
A large representative collection of mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) consisting 415 cultivated, 189 wild and 11 intermediate accessions was analysed by using 19 SSR primers. These primers showed polymorphism in cultivated were selected from those available for the related species azuki bean [V. angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohwi]. One or more primer each linkage group (on basis map) analysed. In total, 309 alleles detected these, about twice as many (257 alleles) (138 alleles). The...
The Asian genus Vigna, to which four cultivated species (rice bean, azuki mung bean and black gram) belong, is suitable for comparative genomics. aims were construct a genetic linkage map of rice identify the genomic regions associated with domestication in compare these those bean. A was constructed by using simple sequence repeat amplified fragment length polymorphism markers BC1F1 population derived from cross between wild Using this map, 31 domestication-related traits dissected into...
Abstract The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting fitness hybrids between wild soybean ( Glycine soja ) and cultivated max ). Seed dormancy seed number, both which are important for fitness, were evaluated by testing artificial G. × in a multiple‐site field trial. Generally, the F 1 hybrid derivatives from self‐pollination lower than that due loss dormancy, whereas with higher proportions genetic background comparable . These differences genetically...
Vigna reflexo-pilosa, which includes a neglected crop, is the only one tetraploid species in genus Vigna. The ancestral that make up this allotetraploid have not conclusively been identified, although previous studies suggested donor genome of V. reflexo-pilosa trinervia. In study, 1,429 azuki bean EST-SSR markers were developed 38 primer pairs amplified product diploid and two discrete products selected to analyze 268 accessions from eight taxa seven Asian including var. glabra, exilis,...
The genus Oryza that gave rise to rice has a distinctive phylogenetic position within the Poaceae (Graminae). Recently there been much progress in understanding relationships of angiosperms. In this review current angiosperm and monocot phylogeny is discussed relation emergence Oryza. lineage leading arose early evolution grasses evolved after 70 mya. Since well split Gondwanaland, did not originate on Gondwanaland continental drift play role biogeography. A new hypothesis presented explain...
