Based on their morphoagronomic descriptors however, several improved cultivars are similar. Hence, accurate identification of each cultivar requires well-trained personnel. This study aimed to establish molecular markers for the identification of 16 Thai cassava cultivars from the germplasm collection in Rayong Field Crops Research Center. HAT-RAPD amplicons which were distinctive among the cultivars were employed for molecular cloning. Based on nucleotide sequences obtained four SCAR primer pairs were designed. SCAR markers were generated and used to differentiate the cultivars as follows: (1) 308-bp marker and 850-bp marker for Rayong 60 and Hanatee, respectively; (2) 414-bp marker for Rayong 1, Rayong 11, Rayong 90, Rayong 86-13, Huay Bong 60 and Kasetsart 50; (3) 273-bp marker for Rayong 3, Rayong 9 and Rayong 72; and (4) 414-bp and 273-bp markers for Rayong 5 and Huay Bong 80. For the procedure to be less time-consuming and more cost-effective, efficient multiplex PCR with optimal conditions was developed to incorporate all four pairs of SCAR primers in a single PCR reaction

Genetic diversity of these nineteen cultivars was assessed by high annealing temperature-random amplified polymorphic DNA (HAT-RAPD) technique. Out of 28 random primers used, 21 generated polymorphic bands. Pairwise distances between taxa calculated using Neiâs genetic distance varied from 3 to 82%. An unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram constructed based on 61 RAPD characters classified all 19 cultivars into five clusters, four of which containing bitter-type accessions and one accommodating sweet-type accessions. The bitter-type clusters possessed three cultivars of farmersâ preferences, including Gled Mangorn (closely related to Rayong 72), Giant (placed with Huay Bong 60 and Huay Bong 80), and Nak Khao (placed with Rayong 3 and Rayong 5).Keywords: Manihot esculenta Crantz, cassava germplasm, HAT-RAPD technique, UPGMA metho
Species identification of economic bamboos in the genus Dendrocalamus using SCAR and multiplex PCR
Taxonomic and systematic studies of bamboos are traditionally based on floral morphology, but this can lead to
difficulties in identification because of the irregular reproductive cycle of the bamboos. To overcome such problems several
molecular-marker approaches have been used. In this study, eight species of the woody bamboos belonging to the genus
Dendrocalamus were employed. For each species, DNA samples of 20 individual plants from different localities were isolated
and then pooled to make eight bulks of DNA. Fifty RAPD primers were used to screen all bulked DNA samples. Only five
primers yielded consistent and reproducible RAPD band patterns across all 160 individuals. The amplicons were present among
five species of Dendrocalamus, but were absent in the other three species. They were cloned, sequenced and subsequently, five
pairs of SCAR primers were designed. All SCAR primers were combined in multiplex PCR reactions to unequivocally
discriminate five species of Dendrocalamus
MOLECULAR DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL METACERCARIAE OF PARAGONIMUS HETEROTREMUS AND P. WESTERMANI OCCURRING IN THAILAND
Abstract. To accurately discriminate between individual metacercariae of Paragonimus heterotremus and P. westermani occurring in Thailand, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular methods were established and subjected to an evaluation. We first amplified and sequenced the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA of the two species. Based on their nucleotide differences, P. heterotremus and P. westermani were unequivocally discriminated from each other. These nucleotide differences were further utilized to select the ApaL1 endonuclease site for PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analyses and to design species-specific primers for multiplex PCR reactions. Both PCR-RFLP and multiplex PCR methods allowed a more rapid and labor-effective species discrimination. Furthermore, the multiplex PCR method enabled the most efficient discrimination because species identification involved a single round of PCR in a single tube. In Thailand, P. heterotremus is the only species affecting humans. Thus, the methods established in the present study can be used as reliable tools to identify the lung fluke metacercariae that cause human disease. primers. All of these methods utilize nucleotide differences in the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) for dicrimination between the two species. In the present study, we focused on the lung flukes occurring in Thailand and applied the methods for species discrimination between individual metacercariae of P. heterotremus and P. westermani. MATERIALS AND METHODS Parasite material and DNA isolation The metacercariae of P. heterotremus and P. westermani DNA amplification, restriction digestion and sequencing The rDNA region spanning the ITS2 from individual metacercariae of the two species was amplified by PCR using the primers, 3S (forward, 5'-GGTACCGGTGGATCACTCGGCTCGTG-3') and A28 (reverse, 5'-GGGATCCTGGTTAGTTTCTTTT CCTCCGC-3'). These primers were designed on the basis of the conserved rDNA sequences of the Schistosoma specie
Molecular systematics of a new form of Paragonimus westermani discovered in Thailand. Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health
Abstract. This study aimed to clarify evolutionary relationships of P. westermani-like with other members of Paragonimus in Asia. The parsimony method was employed in molecular analyses of the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) region of mitochondrial DNA. A single most parsimonious tree obtained from the ITS2 region revealed two important groups within P. westermani complex that is based on geographical origins. From this study, it is evident that P. westermani-like is either placed well within the P. westermani complex or is located close to the complex. Since a significant genetic variation was observed between Thai P. westermani and P. westermani-like, further investigation on the specificity of first intermediate hosts should be carried out to determine a proper taxonomic status of P. westermani-like
