Feb 2, 2022 · In this study, we characterized six local and 16 foreign almond cultivars using SSR markers to determine the level of genetic diversity and genetic relatedness among them. Most of the local almond cultivars were characterized by SSR markers for the first time in this study.

Aug 7, 2022 · SSR – is the USDA grade descriptor and stands for “Select Sheller Run.” This is a mid-quality grade descriptor that allows for a slightly higher tolerance of defects such as chips and scratches.

Jul 26, 2010 · Sixteen nuclear and 10 chloroplast SSR markers were evaluated for 40 almond genotypes including cultivated almond, 18 related species and 5 interspecific-hybrid populations. Results establish the value of SSR (nuclear and chloroplast) markers for distinguishing different genetic lineages and characterize an extensive gene pool available to ...

Dec 27, 2024 · This study investigated genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships among 9 almond genotypes naturally growing in Yozgat (Türkiye) and its surroundings, along with 7 local and foreign almond cultivars, using 18 simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers.

Nov 24, 2005 · EST- and genomic SSR markers previously reported in species of Prunus, mainly peach, proved to be useful for almond genetic analysis. DNA sequences of 117 alleles of six of the 16 SSR loci were analysed to reveal sequence variation among the 38 almond accessions.

May 2, 2013 · The objectives of this study are (i) to characterize genetically, by using SSR markers, accessions maintained at INRA-Ain Taoujdate collection (ii) to verify genotypic richness of the collection and (iii) to identify the relationship between Moroccan almond germplasm and some foreign cultivars.

EST- and genomic SSR markers previously reported in species of Prunus, mainly peach, proved to be useful for almond genetic analysis. DNA sequences of 117 alleles of six of the 16 SSR loci were analysed to reveal sequence variation among the 38 almond accessions.

The results show that the application of SSR markers, coupled with the visual observation of kernels in the case of peeled fresh kernels, roasted kernels and hard nougat, can characterize and identify the origin of kernels.

Studies on kernel identification by DNA markers can greatly improve the efficiency of the quality control clearly identifying almond kernels from different cultivars. Among the existing DNA markers, the microsatellite markers (Simple Sequence Repeat, SSR) have been described as the best genetic markers for a wide range of plants because of ...

Twenty one EST-SSRs were thereafter, developed and used together with 7 genomic SSRs, to study the genetic relationship among 36 almond (P. communis Fritsch.) cultivars from China and the Mediterranean area, as well as 8 accessions of other related species from the genus Prunus.
