Genetic diversity and structure of landrace of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet) cultivars in Thailand revealed by SSR markers.

ABSTRACT: Lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet) is a legume crop widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia. In this study, we assessed genetic diversity and population structure of 299 individuals of subspecies purpureus and bengalensis of lablab from Thailand using 13 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The SSR markers detected only 34 alleles in total with a mean of 2.6 alleles per locus. Overall gene diversity was 0.360. Gene diversity (H _E) and allelic richness (A _R) in different geographic regions was comparable. Similarly, both H _E and A _R between subspecies purpureus and bengalensis were similar. STRUCTURE and neighbor-joining (NJ) analyses revealed that t
