Genetic Variation of Native Perilla Germplasms Collected from South Korea Using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers and Morphological Characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Using morphological characteristics and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, we evaluated the morphological variation and genetic diversity of 200 Perilla accessions collected from the five regions of South Korea and another region. In morphological characteristics analysis, particularly leaf color, stem color, degree of pubescence, and leaf size have been found to help distinguish the morphological features of native Perilla accessions cultivated in South Korea. Twenty SSR primer sets confirmed a total of 137 alleles in the 200 Perilla accessions. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 13, with an average number of alleles per locus of 6.85. The average genetic diversity (GD) was 0.649, with a range of 0.290-0.828. From analysis of SSR markers, accessions from the Jeolla-do and
