Durian (Durio zibethinus) is one of the most popular tropical fruits in Asia. To date, 126 durian types have been registered with the Department of Agriculture in Malaysia based on phenotypic characteristics. Classification based on morphology is convenient, easy, and fast but it suffers from phenotypic plasticity as a direct result of environmental factors and age. To overcome the limitation of morphological classification, there is a need to carry out genetic characterization of the various durian types. Such data is important for the evaluation and management of durian genetic resources in producing countries. In this study, simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to study the genetic variation in 27 durian types from the germplasm collection of Universiti Putra Malaysia. Based on DNA sequences deposited in Genbank, seven pairs of primers were successfully designed to amplify SSR regions in the durian DNA samples. High levels of variation among the 27 durian types were observed (expected heterozygosity, HE = 0.35). The DNA fingerprinting power of SSR markers revealed by the combined probability of identity (PI) of all loci was 2.3×10−3. Unique DNA fingerprints were generated for 21 out of 27 durian types using five polymorphic SSR markers (the other two SSR markers were monomorphic). We further tested the utility of these markers by evaluating the clonal status of shared durian types from different germplasm collection sites, and found that some were not clones. The findings in this preliminary study not only shows the feasibility of using SSR markers for DNA fingerprinting of durian types, but also challenges the current classification of durian types, e.g., on whether the different types should be called “clones”, “varieties”, or “cultivars”. Such matters have a direct impact on the regulation and management of durian genetic resources in the region.

The assessment of the genetic diversity within germplasm collections can be accomplished using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and association mapping techniques. The present study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity of a colored rice germplasm collection containing 376 black-purple rice samples and 172 red pericarp samples, conserved by Dong-A University. There were 600 pairs of SSR primers screened against 11 rice varieties. Sixteen informative primer pairs were selected, having high polymorphism information content (PIC) values, which were then used to assess the genetic diversity within the collection. A total of 409 polymorphic amplified fragments were obtained using the 16 SSR markers. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 11 to 47, with an average of 25.6. The average PIC value was 0.913, ranging from 0.855 to 0.964. Four hundred and nine SSR loci were used to calculate Jaccard’s distance coefficients, using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean cluster analysis. These accessions were separated into several distinctive groups corresponding to their morphology. The results provided valuable information for the colored rice breeding program and showed the importance of protecting germplasm resources and the molecular markers that can be derived from them.

The genetic relationships among 192 superior, high–yielding, and disease-resistant sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] accessions from the Ugandan germplasm collection were analyzed using 10 fluorescent labeled simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Relatedness among the genotypes was estimated using the Nei and Li genetic distance coefficient, cluster analysis and principle component analysis methods of NTSYS-pc software. The polymorphic information content of the SSR markers used in this study ranged from 0.23 to 0.76 for loci IB-S07 and IB-R12, respectively, with a mean value of 0.62. The number of polymorphic alleles detected per locus ranged from two to six with a mean of four, a confirmation of the effectiveness of microsatellite detection on an automated ABI 3730 sequencer. The mean pairwise genetic distance among the 192 genotypes was 0.57, an indication of moderately high genetic diversity. Cluster analysis divided the accessions into four major groups with no relationship to the district of origin. Two sets of duplicates were identified through SSR genotyping in this study. Up to 190 distinct accessions for use as potential parental genotypes in hybridization schemes for cultivar development in the region were identified.

Floribunda 6(4): 117–126. —  Pulasan is one of the potential local fruits to be developed. This study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of pulasan of Java using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers and to obtain information whether primers of the markers could be used to distinguish male and her-maphrodite plants. The results showed that two primers in the SSR markers and seven primers in the ISSR markers produced polymorphic bands. The genomic DNA of the pulasan amplified with SSR markers produced bands 140–500 bp, while those from the ISSR markers were 150–1500 bp. The population of pulasan in Babakan Madang has the highest genetic diversity, while that of Patean is the lowest. Genetic variation of pulasan based on SSR and ISSR markers in the population and among populations have different compositions. Variation in the population is 72% while among the population is 28%. Primers of LML Y6 and LML Y12 from SSR markers and primers of ISSR 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 cannot be used to distinguish male and hermaphrodite pulasan plants. Nina Ratna Djuita, Alex Hartana, Tatik Chikmawati, Dorly. 2020.

Accelerated improvement of two cornerstones of New Zealand's pastoral industries, per ennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.), may be realised through the application of markerassisted selection (MAS) strategies to enhance traditional plant breeding programmes. Genome maps constructed using molecular markers represent the enabling technology for such strategies and we have assembled maps for each species using EST-SSR markers - simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers developed from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) representing genes. A comprehensive map of the white clover genome has been completed, with 464 EST-SSR and genomic SSR marker loci spanning 1125 cM in total, distributed across 16 linkage groups. These have been further classified into eight pairs of linkage groups, representing contributions from the diploid progenitors of this tetraploid species. In perennial ryegrass a genome map based exclusively on EST-SSR loci was constructed, with 130 loci currently mapped to seven linkage groups and covering a distance of 391 cM. This map continues to be expanded with the addition of ESTSSR loci, and markers are being concurrently transferred to other populations segregating for economically significant traits. We have initiated gene discovery through quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis in both species, and the efficacy of the white clover map for this purpose was demonstrated with the initial identification of multiple QTL controlling seed yield and seedling vigour. One QTL on linkage group D2 accounts for 25.9% of the genetic variation for seed yield, and a putative QTL accounting for 12.7% of the genetic variation for seedling vigour was detected on linkage group E1. The application of MAS to forage breeding based on recurrent selection is discussed.
