Abstract/Contents: | "Differences among organisms are coded for by their DNA. Researchers at Oklahoma State University are using 'DNA fingerprinting" techniques to distinguish bermudagrass cultivars and selections, and they explain how this powerful tool can be used to distinguish genetic differences that are important in establishing genetic relatedness and protecting plant patents. This papers points include: Researchers at OSU uses DNA fingerprinting to evaluate genetic background of bermudagrass varieties among bermudagrasses from a world-wide collection. Understanding genetic relationships is fundamental to the efficient production of high quality bermudagrass varieties. DNA fingerprinting coupled to cluster analysis is able to distinguish and infer genetic relationships among even the most closely related organisms from each other. DNA fingerprinting can be used in basic and applied research, genetics, plant breeding, marker-assisted selection, agricultural forensics and patenting, and ecological genetics." |
