Genetic diversity analysis of <i>Iris germanica</i> cultivars based on ISSR and SRAP molecular markers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Iris germanica L. (1753), commonly known as bearded iris, is a popular ornamental plant species appreciated for its beautiful and diverse flower colors and forms. Despite its aesthetic appeal, there is limited knowledge about the genetic diversity and relationships among Iris germanica cultivars.

Methods

To address this, in this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and molecular clustering of Iris germanica cultivars through ISSR and SRAP molecular markers.

Results

Our analysis identified that ISSR analysis revealed a high level of genetic diversity among Iris germanica cultivars. The 9 ISSR primers generated 72 amplified bands, of which 66 were polymorphic, yielding a polymorphism percentage of 89.86%. Similarly, SRAP
