The research was conducted to evaluate AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) and SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) marker systems for their ability to detect genetic diversity within a set of 29 common bean accessions spanning both the Andean and Mesoamerican gene pools and to compare the efficiency of these two marker types in the classification of accessions according to the gene pools of origin. Results show that both marker systems are successful in evaluation of genetic diversity of common bean and its classification according to gene pool of origin.

The identification of genes whose expression is altered under conditions of drought is an important first step towards understanding the response of this species. Changes in gene expression in their leaves at different levels of dehydration were identified by differential display reverse transcriptase PCR and confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. The levels of 15 transcripts were changed significantly (p(0.05) in all cultivars under both growth conditions, 8 being increased and seven decreased. Five of the genes identified have not previously been reported as being influenced by drought.

Genetic variability analysis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) included 100 slovenian and 39 reference genotypes. Evaluation using morphological characteristics revealed all morphotypes present in reference material showing huge phenotypical diversity of slovenian populations. Analysis of phaseolin bands is pointing to the simmilarity with the western mediterranean populations and with that to the possible common point of origin.

This is the first population study of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula using mitochondrial DNA markers (16S, cyt b, COI), nuclear DNA (28S rDNA) and RAPD analysis. Samples from eleven populations from Slovenia, France, Greece, Madeira, Japan, Guadalupe, Galapagos, California, Brasil and Botswana were analysed. Sequence analysis revealed 11 haplotypes or tri main lines: A, B and C. Within 28S rDNA sequences we have not find major differences which shows that we are dealing with one species and not more sister lines as previousely thouhgt.

A set of introgression lines (ILs) representing the genome of the wild nightshade Solanum lycopersicoides in the genetic background of cultivated tomato has been developed. The ILs were selected among inbred backcross lines using molecular markers, primarily RFLPs, to identify individual chromosome segments. Together, these lines represent a nearly complete S. lycopersicoides genome (~ 96% of the total map units in tomato). This IL library provides a novel resource for genetic studies of traits found in S. lycopersicoides.
