Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) were assayed to determine the genetic diversity of 80 barley specimens from South Tunisia. The ISSR primers showed variation in the percentage of polymorphism, band informativeness (Ib), and resolving power (Rp). The percentage of polymorphism is 66.67%, the average Ib ranged from 0.24 to 0.39, while Rp ranged from 0.74 to 1.16. In RAPD analysis, three primers yielded a total of 17 scorable bands, which are all polymorphic. The three polymorphic primers exhibited variation with regard to average band informativeness (AvIb) and resolving power (Rp). RAPD and ISSR marker systems were found to be useful for the genetic diversity among the barley specimens. The two dendrograms obtained through these markers show different clustering of 80 barely specimens, but we noted that some clusters were similar in some cases. A poor correlation () was found between both sets of genetic similarity data, suggesting that both sets of markers revealed unrelated estimates of genetic relationships. Therefore, the ISSR and RAPD molecular markers show two genetic grouping of studied barely specimens.

Camellia sinensis is a beverage tree crop native to Southeast Asia and introductions have been made into several nonindigenous countries. No systematic assessment of genetic variability in tea has been done anywhere. In this study, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to estimate genetic diversity and taxonomic relationships in 38 clones belonging to the three tea varieties, assamica, sinensis, and assamica ssp. lasiocalyx. Extensive genetic variability was detected between species, which was partitioned into between and within population components. Seventy percent of the variation was detected within populations. Analyses based on band sharing separated the three populations in a manner consistent with both the present taxonomy of tea and with the known pedigrees of some clones. RAPD analysis also discriminated all of the 38 commercial clones, even those which cannot be distinguished on the basis of morphological and phenotypic traits.Key words: genetic diversity, RAPDs, Camellia sinensis.

AbstractGenetic diversity and phylogenetic analyses of 24 species, representing nine sections of the genus Galium (Rubiaceae), have been made using the Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR), Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and combined ISSR and RAPD markers. Four ISSR primers and three RAPD primers generated 250 polymorphic amplified fragments. The results of this study showed that the level of genetic variation in Galium is relatively high. RAPD markers revealed a higher level of polymorphism (158 bands) than ISSR (92 bands). Clustering of genotypes within groups was not similar when RAPD and ISSR derived dendrograms were compared. Six clades can be recognized within Galium, which mostly corroborate, but also partly contradict, traditional groupings. UPGMA-based dendrogram showed a close relationship between members of section Leiogalium with G. verum and G. humifusum (sect. Galium), and G. angustifolium (sect. Lophogalium). Principal coordinated analysis, however, showed some minor differences with UPGMA-based dendrograms. The more apomorphic groups of Galium form the section Leiogalium clade including the perennial sections Galium, Lophogalium, Jubogalium, Hylaea and Leptogalium as well as the annual section Kolgyda. The remaining taxa of Galium are monophyletic.

The DNA fingerprinting methodologies, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), were used to estimate genetic diversity and relationships among 20 black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) varieties. Thirty selected RAPD primers amplified 255 bands, 168 of which were polymorphic (66.5%). On average, these primers produced 8.5 bands, 5.6 of which were polymorphic. Polymorphic band number varied from 2 (A-05) to 10 (OPA-02), with sizes ranging from 100 to 2550 bp. Twenty-four selected ISSR primers produced 238 amplified products, 184 of which were polymorphic (77.8%). On average, these primers generated 9.8 bands, with 7.7 polymorphic bands ranging in number from 4 (ISSR-13) to 11 (ISSR-03), and size from 100-2650 bp. Genetic relationships were estimated using similarity coefficient (Jaccard’s) values between different accession pairs; these varied from 30.7 to 85.0 for RAPD, and from 37.2 to 88.4 with ISSR. UPGMA analysis indicated that the varieties ranged in similarity from 0.50 to 1.00 (mean of 0.75) for RAPD, and from 0.47 to 1.00 (mean of 0.76) with ISSR. Cluster analysis of RAPD and ISSR results identified three clusters with significant bootstrap values, which revealed greater homology between the varieties. Principal coordinates analysis also supported this conclusion. Among the black gram varieties, WBU-108 and RBU-38 were highly divergent, whereas LBG-648 and LBG-623 were genetically similar. The markers generated by RAPD and ISSR assays can provide practical information for the management of genetic resources and these results will also provide useful information for the molecular classification and breeding of new black gram varieties.Key words: Black gram, cluster analysis, genetic diversity, ISSR, molecular markers, RAPD

Ten morpho-agronomic traits and 80 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) molecular markers were used to survey genetic diversity in 25 chickpea genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed significant variability among different genotypes for morpho-metric traits. The cluster analysis done using morpho-metric traits grouped 25 genotypes into seven and six clusters in Environment I (Env. I) and Environment II (Env. II), respectively. Three genotypes viz., ICCV-96904, HPG-17, ICCV-95503 and L-HR-1 belonging to diverse clusters were identified divergent and may use in heterosis breeding programme. Of 80 random RAPD markers, 25 were found polymorphic. Three major clusters were identified using 25 polymorphic RAPD markers. The genetic similarity coefficient among genotypes ranged from 0.57 to 0.91. The average polymorphic information content (PIC) for 25 RAPD markers ranges from 0.12 to 0.40. D2-statistic, RAPD analysis and study of genotypes performance revealed sufficient genetic diversity among chickpea genotypes which would be useful in future breeding programme.

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to estimate genetic similarities between Portuguese Camelliasinensis (L.) O. Kuntze (tea plant) accessions and those obtained from the germplasm collections from the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya and from the National Research Institute of Vegetables, Ornamental Plants, and Tea of Japan. The accessions studied are taxonomically classified as C. sinensis, var. sinensis, var. assamica, or ssp. lasiocalyx. A set of 118 ten-base arbitrary primers was tested, of which 25 produced informative, reproducible, and polymorphic banding patterns. These primers were used to amplify DNA from 71 tea plant accessions and produced a total of 282 bands, of which 195 were polymorphic. The phenotypic frequencies were calculated using Shannon's Index and employed in estimating genetic diversity within tea plant populations. Our study demonstrates that tea plant populations, including the Portuguese tea plants, show considerable genetic variability. From the UPGMA cluster analysis based on a matrix using the Jaccard coefficient, it was possible to distinguish the Portuguese tea plants from the remaining accessions. The RAPD markers discriminated the three C. sinensis varieties. Moreover, within each variety cluster, subclusters formed according to geographic distribution. The RAPD analysis also separated the commercially cultivated tea plants from the Taiwanese wild tea plants. The present results show that RAPD analysis constitutes a good method to estimate genetic diversity within C. sinensis, and to differentiate C. sinensis accessions according to taxonomic variety and geographical distribution.

The identification and genetic relationships of 23 coffee species and one coffee-related species Canthium diccocum were studied using ISSR and SRAP markers. The average polymorphism information content of SRAP primers (0.81) was lower than ISSR primers (0.86), whereas the average resolving power of the SRAP primers (9.74) is higher than the ISSR primers (8.64). The genetic similarity among the species ranged from 0.30 to 0.89 using ISSR and 0.11 to 0.90 using SRAP marker systems. Based on marker analysis, all twenty three coffee species were clustered into two major groups. Both the markers amplified species-specific fragments and are useful in genetic diversity analysis of coffee.

Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb. is a valuable multipurpose forest tree in India. Generally, it is valued greatly for its excellent wood qualities. Due to its significant multipurpose properties, this tree has been overexploited, which ultimately has led to its inclusion in the list of threatened species. In this regard, studying the genetic diversity in P. marsupium is not only significant for the protection of this species, but also necessary for the development and utilization of germplasm resources for its improvement. Before developing any tree improvement program, information on actual genetic diversity and the cryptic number of the differentiated genetic resource are important aids for its conservation and effective utilization. Thus, in the present study, analysis of phylogenetic relationship among P. marsupium species plays an important role in the identification and selection of elite genotype among the wildly distributed accessions. The phylogenetic relationship among 18 genotypes obtained from various forest regions of central India was studied using DNA based molecular markers. In RAPD analysis, out of 40 scorable amplified bands, 29 were polymorphic resulting in expression of polymorphism percentage (73.2%) with an average of 2.90 amplicons per primer. Based on RAPD analysis, the lowest (37%) similarities among accessions were recorded in Anuppur (MAA), Mandla (MMK) and Jabalpur (MJH) and the highest similarity (100%) were observed among Mandla (MMK), Jablapur (MJH); Jashpur (CJM), Surguja (CSA), Bilaspur (CBP) and Durg (CDB) and Raigarh (CRK) accessions. While the ISSR analysis found 66 amplified bands, 45 were polymorphous and average 68.3 percent polymorphic with an average 4.5 bands per oligo. The lowest (36%) similarity was observed among Anuppur (MAA) and Jabalpur (MJH) accessions and the highest similarity (88%) was recorded among Jashpur (CJM), Chhindwara (MCD) and Bilaspur (CBP) accessions. The combined analysis data of RAPD and ISSR showed that Chandrapur (RCC) and Anuppur's (MAA) acessions had the lowest (35%) similarity, with Jabalpur's (MJHs) and Mandla's (MMKs) accession being the highest similarities (100%) reported. As a result, the study of genetic diversity by means of RAPD and ISSR markers alone or in combination, i.e. the MAA, CKB and CRK accessions, was found to be more diverse among 18 accessions of Central India and given greater space for the collection of elite/superior trees to be used in conservation and forest development programs. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

Morphological characterisation allows isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Colletotrichum musae and Colletotrichum acutatum to be identified only to species level. Pathogenicity tests and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers distinguished a mango biotype of C. gloeosporioides from eight other isolates of C gloeosporioides obtained from five different fruit species. Using these procedures, it was also possible to distinguish C. acutatum and C. musae both from each other, and from the C. gloeosporioides isolates. In cross-infectivity studies, isolates of C. gloeosporioides displayed a wide host range with the exception of isolates from mango, which were highly virulent on mango only. Teleomorphic isolates of C. gloeosporioides were clustered together by RAPD analysis. This work has demonstrated the existence of a biotype of C. gloeosporioides which shows specialisation to mango.

Rice is the most important staple crop in Malaysia and is cultivated all over the country, including the state of Sabah. The uniqueness of rice cultivation in Sabah lies in the type of rice itself, deriving mainly from local or non-commercial cultivars but with distinctive characteristics including long grains, aromatic properties, and drought tolerance. However, despite having these important agricultural traits, information on the genetic diversity of Sabah rice remains limited. Hence, the purpose of this study was to determine the genetic polymorphisms of Sabah rice using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. A total of 101 alleles were profiled, from which 94% were identified as polymorphic. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the rice samples into three clusters, with two clusters classifying the ability of rice to grow under different planting conditions, suitable for growth irrigate and upland condition. The first cluster was dominated by cultivars that could survive in wet (irrigated) areas, while the other featured those that were found in dry (upland) areas. Furthermore, two alleles, OPA-05-B2 and OPA-01-B11, were found to be unique to cultivars within the upland cluster and were thus proposed to be involved in dry environmental adaptation. The results of the present study provide an insight into the genetic relationships and diversity of Sabah rice.

DNA markers can assess close genetic relationships between individuals of a crop as when one variety is developed (i.e., “essentially derived”) from another. An acceptable threshold, based on empirical results, should be established for a crop to indicate what constitutes an “essentially derived” variety in the absence of clear pedigree information. Empirical data could help settle infringements of intellectual property rights, but appropriate data are not being generated for most crops. Thus, our objectives were to characterize genetic relationships among broccoli varieties “essentially derived” from known parents using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers as a measure of genotype and to provide an empirical basis for threshold levels in this crop. Six F1 broccoli hybrids and three inbred lines (doubled-haploids) developed from each of the hybrids (24 entries) were evaluated by RAPD analysis. RAPD assays were conducted using 23 different oligonucleotide 10-mers. Of 179 RAPD bands scored, 94 were polymorphic among the entries. Similarity indices were computed from RAPD data, and a multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plot was constructed. Similarity indices for all pairwise comparisons ranged from 0.40 to 0.90. `High Sierra' and it's derived lines were the most closely related group with indices from 0.81 to 0.90. With `High Sierra', `Sultan', and `Marathon', the three derived lines were more closely related to their respective parental hybrids than were any other entries. The hybrids `Futura', `Everest', and `Viking' were more genetically similar to other entries than to their derived lines. A threshold level based on data from `High Sierra', `Marathon', `Sultan', and their derived lines would not identify “essentially derived” lines developed from other hybrids.
