Patterns of variation at selected isozyme loci were examined in populations of Cistus albidus L. in south-east Spain, from areas differing in precipitation and temperature, to determine whether population divergence has occurred. Total genetic diversity was high, with a high percentage of the variation being found between populations. Genetic variation between populations did not relate to climate. Populations exposed to severe summer drought did not show lower genetic diversity than populations from more benign climates. Little genetic variation was found between populations that showed variation in ecophysiological and growth responses in situ and under controlled conditions. Cluster analyses showed different patterns of between-population distances with respect to genetic, physiological and morphological data, and none of these patterns corresponded to that for between-site environmental variation.

Genetic variation in cucumber accessions from China was assessed by examining variation at 21 polymorphic isozyme loci. Principal component analysis of allelic variation allowed for the depiction of two distinct groupings of Chinese accessions collected in 1994 and 1996 (67 accessions). Six isozyme loci (Gpi, Gr, Mdh-2, Mpi-2, Pep-gl, and Pep-la) were important in elucidating these major groups. These groupings were different from a single grouping of Chinese 146 accessions acquired before 1994. Allelic variation in Chinese accessions allowed for comparisons with other accessions in the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (U.S. NPGS) collection grouped by continent and sub-continent. When Chinese accessions taken collectively were compared with an array of 853 C. sativus U.S. NPGS accessions examined previously, relationships differed between accessions grouped by country or subcontinent. Data indicate that acquisition of additional Chinese and Indian cucumber accessions would be strategically important for increasing genetic diversity in the U.S. NPGS cucumber collection.

Geographic Clustering

Within the Murrumbidgee drainage system, 100 seedlings from each of 14 populations of Casuarina cunninghamiana were assayed for their allozyme genotypes at 14 loci. The levels of genetic variation were fairly similar in all populations. There was no geographic clustering of populations based on genetic distance measures. Only 3.8% of the total genetic diversity could be apportioned among populations within the drainage system. In six additional populations, branchlets from 50 trees per population were assayed for their allozyme genotypes at 27 loci. Three populations were from the Murrumbidgee drainage system and each of the others from a different coastal drainage. The mean expected heterozygosities for coastal and inland zones were 0.139 and 0.093 respectively. Of the total genetic diversity 10.7% could be apportioned among the four drainages. The results of this study suggest that for in situ conservtion of C. cunninghamiana within a region, more emphasis should be placed on conserving one large population from each major drainage system rather than a number of populations within one or two drainage systems.

Abstract In this study, intra-specific genetic variation and inter-specific genetic relation were investigated among Phlomis oppositiflora, P. kurdica, P. × melitenense (P. kurdica × oppositiflora), P. capitata and P. kurdica × capitata by using RAPD and ISSR markers. The hybridity of P. × melitenense and P. kurdica × capitata samples was also surveyed in terms of morphological and molecular aspects. Except for two, all bands obtained from RAPD (707 bands) and ISSR (651 bands) analyses were polymorphic. The lowest genetic distance values obtained from RAPD and ISSR analyses were 0.0156 (between P. × melitenense and P. kurdica) and 0.0142 (between P. × melitenense and P. kurdica) respectively. The highest genetic distance values obtained from RAPD and ISSR analyses were 0.0866 (between P. kotschyana and P. oppositiflora) and 0.1237 (between P. kotschyana and P. kurdica × capitata) respectively. While P. kurdica indicated the highest genetic diversity (H = 0.1572; I = 0.2646) in RAPD analysis, P. capitata displayed the highest genetic diversity (H = 0.1403; I = 0.2329) in ISSR analysis. AMOVA results showed that 86% and 75% of the total variance resided within groups based on RAPD and ISSR markers, respectively. Based on the RAPD and ISSR results, both P. × melitenense and P. kurdica × capitata samples inherited species specific bands from their parental species, which confirms their hybridity. Although both P. × melitenense and P. kurdica × capitata hybrids showed a morphological mosaic between their parental phenotypes in terms of the majority of the quantitative characters examined, P. × melitenense and P. kurdica × capitata exceeded their parental phenotypes in terms of the three and 11 quantitative characters respectively. MANOVA results from the morphological data showed significant distinction among P. kurdica, P. oppositiflora, P. × melitenense, P. capitata and P. kurdica × capitata (Wilks’ Lambda = 0.003; df = 112; P < 0.01). Average pollen fertilities of P. oppositiflora, P. × melitenense, P. capitata, P. kurdica and P. kurdica × capitata were 93.44%, 68.42%, 93.28 %, 90.12% and 92.77% respectively.

Genetic diversity and population structure of 22 Carex humilis var. nana Ohwi (Cyperaceae) populations in Korea were determined using genetic variation at 23 allozyme loci. This is a long-lived herbaceous species with a widespread distribution in eastern Asia. The 12 enzymes revealed 23 putative loci, of which 11 were polymorphic (47.8%). Genetic diversity at the varietal level and at the population level was 0.131 and 0.118, respectively. Total genetic diversity (HT = 0.274) and within population genetic diversity (HS = 0.256) were high, whereas the extent of the population divergence was relatively low (GST = 0.068). An indirect estimate of the number of migrants per generation (Nm = 3.42) indicated that gene flow was high among Korean populations. Wide geographic ranges, perennial herbaceous nature, and the persistence of multiple generations are associated with the high level of genetic variation. A distinct difference between Asian and North American Carex is shown in the proportion of genetic variation (GST) (p < 0.001). The mean GST of Asian Carex was estimated as 0.056; thus, only 5.6% of genetic variability was distributed among populations, whereas the mean GST of North American Carex was estimated as 19.5% (3.5 times higher). It is probable that the geographical distance between population pairs and presence or absence of glacial history may play roles in the substantial difference between both groups.Key words: Carex humilis var. nana, genetic diversity, population structure.

The susceptibility to glyphosate and genetic diversity based on intersimple sequence repeat markers were characterized for 17 tropical sprangletop populations collected from two separate regions mainly in Persian lime groves in Veracruz, Mexico. The whole-plant dose response together with shikimic acid assays indicated different levels of glyphosate resistance in those populations. Genetic diversity values (h) estimated using POPGENE ranged from 0.119 to 0.198 and 0.117 to 0.214 within susceptible and resistant populations, respectively. The average genetic diversity (HS) within the susceptible populations was 0.157, and the total genetic diversity (HT) was 0.218. TheHSof the resistant populations was 0.144, and theHTwas 0.186. The analysis of molecular variance based on the response to glyphosate indicated that most of the genetic variation was found within groups of susceptible and resistant populations (90% of the genetic variation), whereas 10% or less was among groups. The high level of genetic diversity between glyphosate-resistant tropical sprangletop populations from distant and adjacent locations is likely due to both short- and long-distance seed dispersal and independent evolutionary events in tropical sprangletop populations among Persian lime groves in Veracruz.

AbstractIn this study an evaluation was made of changes in the genetic variation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) of Nordic and Baltic origin, from the end of the 19th century until today. A comparison of Nordic and Baltic material with exotic material that has not been subjected to intense selection was also made. A total of 293 accessions, including 160 Nordic and 80 Baltic landraces, cultivars and breeding lines, and another 53 landraces of exotic origin (Central Asia), were surveyed using isozyme starch gel electrophoresis. For the four isozymes studied, 28 alleles at 11 loci were observed. The average total genetic diversity value (HT) for individual loci ranged between 0 and 0.519. In the exotic material nine loci were polymorphic and two monomorphic, compared to seven polymorphic and four monomorphic loci in the Nordic and Baltic material. Some of the rare alleles were detected only in the exotic material. The studied isozyme loci of Nordic and Baltic material indicated that modern cultivars have a lower average genetic diversity value compared to the landraces, old and exotic material.

Abstract In Cameroon, cowpea plays an important role in traditional agroecosystems. Genetic variation in wild and cultivated cowpea in Cameroon has not yet been documented. Allozyme markers because of their codominance and polymorphism are useful tools for studying genetic variation and disparity in plant species. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the relationship between wild and cultivated cowpea from Cameroon. Ten enzyme systems encoding nineteen isozyme loci were used on 62 cowpea germplasm (45 wild and 17 cultivated). A total of thirty-two alleles were found. One allele was only found in cultivated samples (Enp98 ). Eight alleles were specific only to wild plant (Amp2 98 , Amp3a 103 , Amp4 96 , Fdh104 , Idh2 95 , Pgi3 92 , Pgm2 95 and Sdh95 ). Twenty-three alleles were common to both wild and cultivated accessions. Amp2 10 2 (z = −4.633, p < 0.001) and Fle3 96 (z = −2.858, p < 0.010) were significantly more represented in cultivated compared to wild cowpea forms. The mean number of alleles per locus in wild (1.632 alleles/locus) cowpea were significantly higher (t = 2.805, p < 0.010) compared to cultivated (1.263 alleles/locus) cowpea. Also, the proportion of polymorphic loci (P = 52.63%) and average Nei’s genetic diversity (He = 0.126) were important in wild, compared to the cultivated plants: P = 26.31% and He = 0.063, respectively. The low level of diversity found in domesticated accessions compared to wild can be attributed to a major genetic bottleneck that probably happened during the domestication process. Cluster analysis revealed by UPGMA dendrogram separated the 62 accessions into three clusters. Although an admixture of both wild and cultivated accessions within the same cluster were found, the dendogram, however, highlighted a visible separation between wild and cultivated cowpea. Wild cowpea with many more private alleles indicates an untouched resource available for future breeding.

Five species of Trifolium L. (T. repens L., T. pretense L., T. hybridum L., T. campestre Schreb., and T. dubium Sibth.) were analyzed used to evaluate the genetic diversity and their phenetic relationships using inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers. Overall, T. pratense exhibited higher variation than other species. 114 amplicons were produced by ISSR markers, of which 77 (67.5%) bands were polymorphic. T. dubium showed the low genetic variation. Total genetic diversity values (HT) varied between 0.333 and 0.487, for an average over all polymorphic loci of 0.282. On a perlocus basis, the proportion of total genetic variation due to differences among species (GST) was 0.380. This indicated that about 38.0% of the total variation was among species. The estimate of gene flow, based on GST, was very low among species of genus Trifolium (Nm = 0.816). An assessment of the proportion of diversity present within species, HPOP/HSP, indicated that about 95.8% the total genetic diversity was within species. T. pratense and T. hybridum were grouped together and this clade was sister with T. repens. Two remainder species with yellow flowers were grouped together. Information on genetic diversity for Trifolium is valued for the management of germplasm and for evolving conservation strategies.Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 23(2): 167-173, 2016 (December)

Genetic Diversity And Structure

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity and structure in the germoplasm of Oenocarpus mapora conserved at Eastern Amazon. Thus, 88 individuals were genotyped with five microsatellite loci. These individuals belong to 24 accessions that were sampled in eight sample places of three Brazilian Amazon states conserved at the Active Germplasm Bank (AGB) of Embrapa Eastern Amazon. All loci were polymorphic and they generated 85 alleles with an average of 17 alleles per loci. Total genetic diversity (HE) was 0.48. Sample places were considered genetically distinct, with ?p = 0.354. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) identified that the genetic portion among areas was of 36.14% and within 63.86%. The Nei distances varied from 0.091 between Abaetetuba and Santo Antônio do Tauá, both in the state of Pará (PA), to 4.18, between Parintins, AM and Rio Branco, AC. By means of Bayesian analysis, it was identified nine clusters that compose the accessions of the germplasm bank, with different distributions among individuals. The study showed high fixation rates per sample area, which indicates that there may have been significant inbreeding or crossing among parental individuals. It suggests that future samples should be made of different plants in natural populations. Even though, it was verified that there is considerable genetic variation in the germplasm of O. mapora.
