Project description:Genetic improvement mainly depends on the level of genetic variability present in the population, and the degree of genetic diversity in a population largely determines the rate of genetic advancement. For analyzing genetic diversity and determining cultivar identities, a molecular marker is a useful tool. Using 30 SSR (simple sequence repeat) and 30 RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) markers, this study evaluated the genetic divergence of 17 mango cultivars. The effectiveness of the two marker systems was evaluated using their genetic diversity characteristics. Additionally, the effects of SM (simple matching) and Dice similarity coefficients and their effects on mango clustering were evaluated. The findings showed that SSR markers generated 192 alleles, all of which were polymorphic (100%). With RAPD markers, 434 bands were obtained, 361 of which were polymorphic (83%). The average polymorphic information content (PIC) for RAPD and SSR was 0.378 and 0.735, respectively. Using SSR markers resulted in much higher values for other genetic diversity parameters compared to RAPD markers. Furthermore, grouping the genotypes according to the two similarity coefficients without detailed consideration of these coefficients could not influence the study results. The RAPD markers OPA_01, OPM_12 followed by OPO_12 and SSR markers MIAC_4, MIAC_5 followed by mMiCIR_21 were the most informative in terms of describing genetic variability among the cultivars under study; they can be used in further investigations such as genetic mapping or marker-assisted selection. Overall, 'Zebda' cultivar was the most diverse of the studied cultivars.

Project description:Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop known for its nutty seeds and high-quality edible oil. It is an unexplored crop with a great economic potential. The present study deals with assessment of genetic diversity in the crop. Twenty two RAPD and 18 SSR primers were used for analysis of the 47 different sesame accessions grown in different agroclimatic zones of India. A total of 256 bands were obtained with RAPD primers, of which 191 were polymorphic. SSR primers gave 64 DNA bands, of which all of were polymorphic. The Jaccard's similarity coefficient of RAPD, SSR, and pooled RAPD and SSR data ranged from 0.510 to 0.885, 0.167 to 0.867, and 0.505 to 0.853, respectively. Maximum polymorphic information content was reported with SSRs (0.194) compared to RAPDs (0.186). Higher marker index was observed with RAPDs (1.426) than with SSRs (0.621). Similarly, maximum resolving power was found with RAPD (4.012) primers than with SSRs (0.884). The RAPD primer RPI-B11 and SSR primer S16 were the most informative in terms of describing genetic variability among the varieties under study. At a molecular level, the seed coat colour was distinguishable by the presence and absence of a group of marker amplicon/s. White and brown seeded varieties clustered close to each other, while black seeded varieties remained distanced from the cluster. In the present study, we found higher variability in Sesamum indicum L. using RAPD and SSR markers and these could assist in DNA finger printing, conservation of germplasm, and crop improvement.

Project description:Chrysanthemum morifolium, is a well-known flowering plant worldwide, and has a high commercial, floricultural, and medicinal value. In this study, simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers were generated from EST datasets and were applied to assess the genetic diversity among 32 cultivars. A total of 218 in silico SSR loci were identified from 7300 C. morifolium ESTs retrieved from GenBank. Of all SSR loci, 61.47% of them (134) were hexa-nucleotide repeats, followed by tri-nucleotide repeats (17.89%), di-nucleotide repeats (12.39%), tetra-nucleotide repeats (4.13%), and penta-nucleotide repeats (4.13%). In this study, 17 novel EST-SSR markers were verified. Along with 38 SSR markers reported previously, 55 C. morifolium SSR markers were selected for further genetic diversity analysis. PCR amplification of these EST-SSRs produced 1319 fragments, 1306 of which showed polymorphism. The average polymorphism information content of the SSR primer pairs was 0.972 (0.938-0.993), which showed high genetic diversity among C. morifolium cultivars. Based on SSR markers, 32 C. morifolium cultivars were separated into two main groups by partitioning of the clusters using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean dendrogram, which was further supported by a principal coordinate analysis plot. Phylogenetic relationship among C. morifolium cultivars as revealed by SSR markers was highly consistent with the classification of medicinal C. morifolium populations according to their origin and ecological distribution. Our results demonstrated that SSR markers were highly reproducible and informative, and could be used to evaluate genetic diversity and relationships among medicinal C. morifolium cultivars.

Project description:Assessment of genetic diversity and relatedness is an essential component of germplasm characterization and use. We analyzed 120 mango (Mangifera indica L.) genetic resources in Japan for their parentage, cultivar identification, genetic relatedness, and genetic diversity, using 46 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Ten sets of three SSR markers could successfully distinguish 83 genotypes with the exception of synonymous and identical accessions. We successfully assessed parentage, newly identifying or reconfirming both parents of 11 accessions, and revealing over 30 cultivars as offspring of 'Haden'. Genetic relatedness and diversity analyses revealed three distinct clusters. Two clusters correspond to the groups of USA and India, which are closely related. The other includes accessions from Southeast and East Asia. The results agree with the previous identification of genetically distinct Indian and Southeast Asian types, and suggest that the Florida accessions, which originated from hybrids between those two types, are more closely related to the Indian type.

Project description:Barley is a major cereal grown widely and used in several food products, beverage production and animal fodder. Genetic diversity is a key component in breeding programs. We have analyzed the genetic diversity of barley accessions using microsatellite markers. The accessions were composed of wild and domesticated barley representing genotypes from six countries and three breeding programs in Brazil. A total of 280 alleles were detected, 36 unique to Brazilian barley. The marker Bmag120 showed the greatest polymorphism information content (PIC), with the highest mean value found on chromosome three, and the lowest on chromosomes four and six. The wild accessions presented the highest diversity followed by the foreign genotypes. Genetic analysis was performed using Principal Coordinates Analysis, UPGMA clustering, and Bayesian clustering analysis implemented in Structure. All results obtained by the different methods were similar. Loss of genetic diversity has occurred in Brazilian genotypes. The number of alleles detected in genotypes released in 1980s was higher, whereas most of the cultivars released thereafter showed lower PIC and clustered in separate subgroups from the older cultivars. The use of a more diverse panel of genotypes should be considered in order to exploit novel alleles in Brazilian barley breeding programs.

Project description:Landraces are a critical genetic resource for resilience breeding, offering solutions to prepare agriculture for the challenges posed by climate change. Their efficient utilisation depends on understanding their history and genetic relationships. The current study investigates the phylogenetic relationships of barley landraces from Algeria, varieties from the Near and Middle East, traditional landraces, and modern cultivars from Europe. Using a core set of 33 varieties, including the wild ancestor Hordeum spontaneum from Armenia, genetic diversity was analysed with Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers spanning all barley chromosomes. Based on the SSR-based phylogeny, the Algerian varieties are well clustered with those from the Near East, while distinct from the European varieties. The findings from RAPD markers partially support these results. Using exclusively traditional landraces, where a region of origin can be defined, the SSR markers are analysed separately for each chromosome individually, and the resulting clades are represented by the respective region of origin. This strategy resolves qualitative differences in geographic resolution, depending on the chromosome. While marker HvB23D (chromosome 4) separated the wild H. spontaneum from all domesticated genotypes, markers Bmag19 and Hv13GIII (chromosome 3) reveal four distinct geographic clusters (Maghreb, Near and Middle East, West Europe, Central Europe). These biogeographic patterns suggest a model, where divergence of domesticated barley due to human activity interacted with introgression of individual chromosomes from wild barley, yielding adaptive diversity. These biogeographic patterns suggest a model in which the divergence of domesticated barley, driven by human activity, interacts with the introgression of chromosomes from wild barley, resulting in the creation of adaptive genetic diversity. Our research advances our knowledge of barley landraces' functional genomics and highlights their potential in molecular breeding, particularly for developing resilient varieties suited to diverse environmental conditions.

Project description:The genetic relationships among 24 Indian jujube cultivars (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) were evaluated by genotyping the microsatellite loci using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The SSR loci were scored by fluorescent labelling and automated detection systems for the high-throughput capillary electrophoresis and high-resolution gel electrophoresis. Out of the 29 newly characterized SSR loci, 26 were considered as polymorphic with a total of 181 alleles obtained. The number of alleles ranged from 2-12, while the polymorphism information content ranged from 0.08-0.83, and the expected and observed heterozygosity were 0.04-0.83 and 0.04-0.82, respectively. The allele pattern of Indian jujube for all SSR loci confirmed its karyotype as tetraploid. Similarity coefficients and UPGMA dendrogram revealed that the Taiwanese cultivars consisted of a large 'A' clade, which is further divided into 'A1' and 'A2' groups, and the 'B' clade where both are rooted by the wild accession, 'Chad native'. These four genetic clusters were supported by the results of PCoA and the assignment test. The excess of heterozygotes based on F-statistics was attributed to its mating system as outcrossing and self-incompatible, and the introgression of the presumed mutation-derived cultivars with genetic admixture. Based on this study, SSR markers offer valuable information on the genetic relationship of this tropical fruit tree which is basically in agreement with the genealogy of its breeding history.

Project description:Knowledge about the genetic diversity of the available common bean germplasm can help breeders properly direct the choice of genetic material in the breeding process. The aim of the present work was to estimate the usefulness of 10 RAPD and 10 SCoT markers in genetic diversity detection among 33 common bean genotypes. Both molecular marker systems were able to generate high levels of polymorphism in the genetic material, which was supported by the relatively high polymorphic information content (PIC) values observed for the used markers. The Diversity Detection Index (DDI) and Marker Index (MI) were used to compare the effectiveness of RAPD and SCoT markers. For both techniques, high values of MI and DDI were calculated, representing their effectivity. The SCoT markers showed higher values of the parameters used (MI = 7.474, DI = 2.265) than the RAPD markers (MI = 5.323, DDI = 1.612), indicating their higher efficiency in the detection of molecular variability. Three constructed dendrograms and PCoA plots were created using RAPD and SCoT, and both methods combined confirmed sufficient separation of the bean genotypes from each other. At the same time, a higher efficiency of SCoT markers compared to RAPD markers in the detection of the genetic diversity of beans was also proven. The results may be of future interest in the choice of genetically distant material for breeding purposes.

Project description:Thunbergia coccinea Wall. ex D. Don being a rare, ornamental and medicinal plant of India, is needed to propagate for conserving the germplasm and analyzing its phytochemical compounds in the future. A reliable protocol for direct in vitro propagation using nodal shoot meristem of T. coccinea as explant was standardized. The highest number of shoots per explant (22.17 ± 0.54) with maximum shoot length (2.36 ± 0.28) in cm was obtained in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 9.70 µM of 6-furfurylaminopurine (Kinetin) and 0.053 µM of α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) combination, among all the different plant growth regulators (PGR's) and concentrations tested. The aforesaid PGR's combination was optimum for axillary shoot bud induction and multiplication in T. coccinea. The best rooting was observed on the half-strength MS medium fortified with 2.68 µM NAA with the highest number of roots per shoot (3.75 ± 0.12) and maximum length (5.22 ± 0.32) in cm. All the in vitro raised plantlets were acclimatized in sterile sand and soil mixture (1:1) with a survival rate of 70% on earthen pots under greenhouse conditions. PCR-based RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) and ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat) molecular markers were employed to determine the genetic homogeneity amongst the plantlets. Twelve (12) RAPD and nine (9) ISSR primers developed a total of 104 and 91 scorable bands, respectively. The band profiles of micropropagated plantlets were monomorphic to the mother, donor in vivo plant, and similarity values varied from 0.9542-1.000. The dendrogram generated through UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) showed 99% similarities amongst all tested plants confirming the genetic uniformity of in vitro raised plants.

Project description:Molecular identification and genetic analysis of cherry are necessary for solving the problem of synonyms and homonyms that occur in cherry production. In this study, capillary electrophoresis with fluorescent-labeled simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers was used to identify 63 cherry cultivars (varieties and rootstocks) planted in Shaanxi province, China. A total of 146 alleles were amplified by 10 SSR primer pairs, ranging from 10 to 20 per locus (mean: 14); among the SSR primer pairs, genotype number ranged from 12 to 26 (mean: 18). The mean values of gene diversity, heterozygosity, and polymorphism information content were 0.7549 (range 0.4011-0.8782), 0.5952 (range 0.3810-0.9683), and 0.7355 (range 0.3937-0.8697), respectively. An unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average cluster analysis was used to separate the cherry cultivars. A model-based structure analysis separated the cultivars into three populations, which was consistent with the results of a phylogenic and principal component analysis. Based on Bayes' rule, the cultivars were further subdivided into seven populations. Some of the 63 cherry cultivars that are often confused in production were distinguished, and DNA fingerprinting of cherry cultivars was established. This research will significantly assist in the identification of cherry cultivars at the molecular level.
