Effective population size in field pea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective population size (N_e) is a pivotal parameter in population genetics as it can provide information on the rate of inbreeding and the contemporary status of genetic diversity in breeding populations. The population with smaller N_e can lead to faster inbreeding, with little potential for genetic gain making selections ineffective. The importance of N_e has become increasingly recognized in plant breeding, which can help breeders monitor and enhance the genetic variability or redesign their selection protocols. Here, we present the first N_e estimates based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the pea genome.

Results

We calculated and compared N_e using SNP markers from North Dakota State University (NDSU) mode
