The amount and structure of genetic diversity in dessert apple germplasm conserved at a European level is mostly unknown, since all studies conducted Europe until now have been performed on regional or national collections. Here, we applied common set 16 SSR markers to genotype more than 2,400 accessions across 14 collections representing three broad geographic regions (North + East, West South) with the aim analyze extent, distribution variation resources Europe. A Bayesian model-based...
Deciphering the genetic control of flowering and ripening periods in apple is essential for breeding cultivars adapted to their growing environments. We implemented a large Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) at European level using an association panel 1,168 different genotypes distributed over six locations phenotyped these phenological traits. The was genotyped high-density SNPs Axiom®Apple 480 K SNP array. ran GWAS with multi-locus mixed model (MLMM), which handles putatively...
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping approaches rely on the correct ordering of molecular markers along chromosomes, which can be obtained from genetic linkage maps or a reference genome sequence. For apple (Malus domestica Borkh), sequence v1 and v2 could not meet this need; therefore, novel approach was devised to develop dense map, providing most reliable marker-loci order for highest possible number markers. The based four strategies: (i) use multiple full-sib families, (ii) reduction...
Trees of 68 apple cultivars, aimed for preservation by the 'National Program diversity cultivated plants' as mandate were analysed using a set 10 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primer pairs and self-incompatibility (S−)locus to evaluate genetic reveal inter-cultivar relationships. The 12 polymorphic loci exhibited 2 15 alleles, with expected heterozygozity (He) ranging from 0.36 0.88 mean 0.74. Numerous alleles classified rare or unique (35% 18% respectively). For S-locus, total 14 identified...
Growing pear has a long tradition in Tunisia, and numerous local cultivars possessing an excellent adaptability resilience potential to climatic variation are present. This large is associated with important genetic diversity, which threatened erosion. Appropriate measures have be taken order properly evaluate conserve this material. Microsatellite markers were used assess the level of diversity among Tunisian germplasm, compare it some European varieties wild species. 61 accessions...
Abstract Common bean ( P haseolus vulgaris L .) is one of the most important legume crops for human consumption. However, its grain yield can be reduced by up to 90% seedborne disease, anthracnose. Fungicide treatment costly and time‐consuming. The introduction host plant resistance against this disease appears, therefore, crucial enhancing productivity crop in K yrgyzstan. use DNA ‐based markers backcrossing programmes may help speed breeding resistance. In study, we used a combination...
Cultivated apple is one of the most widely grown fruit crops worldwide.With introduction modern cultivars, from foreign and national breeding programs, use local cultivars decreased during 20th century.In order to minimize genetic erosion avoid loss special genotypes, a number clonal archives were established across Sweden, with goal retaining old cultivars.About 220 appointed for preservation, obtained status mandate cultivars.Initially, they identified based on pomological traits, but...
SummaryGenetic diversity in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) was estimated among 213 seedlings from 22 accessions collected Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The consisted of two types landraces: sweet (C. lanatus var. cow-melon citroides), also known as citron melon. In addition, three commercial varieties C. the USA were included for comparison. Ten simple sequence repeat (SSR; microsatellite) loci detected a total 153 alleles. polymorphic information content (PIC)...
European canker, caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima, is a severe problem in apple production both Sweden and many other northern countries. Even when applying fungicides good horticultural practices, canker damage occurs almost yearly nurseries orchards. Some years, devastating outbreaks destroy numerous trees. To date, complete resistance to N. ditissima not known apple. For further research plant breeding, heritable variation quantitative should be investigated phenotyping large...
Early blight, caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, occurs on potato mainly in south-eastern part of Sweden, but also other parts country. The aim this study was to investigate genetic diversity A. solani populations from different growing regions Sweden using AFLP marker analysis. In addition, cultured isolates were examined for substitutions gene encoding cytochrome b, associated with loss sensitivity against QoI fungicides. Nei's index Swedish revealed a up 0.20. Also differentiation...
This study evaluated options and obstacles to strengthening food security through breeding a staple crop in developing country, using the case of quality bread wheat Tajikistan as an example. Three varieties 19 lines were collected from two field trial locations included Tajik programme. Grain protein composition measure was determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Payne scores calculated order predict quality. There high variation between...
SummaryInreasing consumer demand for firm apple fruit has raised interest among scientists and breeders to identify heritable traits that affect texture. One such candidate gene is the bi-allelic Md-ACS1 locus, shows a strong association between genotype internal ethylene content in ripening fruit. However, associations firmness, or softening during storage, have been somewhat unclear. In order determine potential importance of allelic variation at this we used PCR methods investigate...
The genetic diversity of 23 chickpea accessions representing Kyrgyz landraces and cultivars, ICARDA breeding lines, Spanish Turkish cultivars was characterized using nine microsatellite (SSR) markers which generated a total 122 alleles. number alleles (Na) per locus varied from 9 to 20. observed heterozygosity (Ho) ranged between 0.05 0.43 (average 0.13) whereas both the expected (He) polymorphic information content (PIC) 0.71 0.90 0.83). Analysis molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that 62%...
Although the main goal of traditional farming is to produce food, it can play an important role in conservation genetic resources. This paper reports a study, which explored diversity date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars grown by farmers and their preferences for different cultivars. The possibilities using farms as sites conserving resources are discussed. data study were collected from personal interviews that involved randomly selected Northern State River Nile State, Sudan....
The aim of this study was to apply some the vegetative and fruit traits which are easily recognised identify variation diversity level most famous Sudanese date palm cultivars grown on farm in northern region Sudan. Sixteen phenotypic consisting ten quantitative six qualitative characteristics were used for describing characteristics. principal components analysis (PCA) UPGMA clustering analyse data set. results revealed high variability among according PCA. Fourteen out sixteen investigated...
