GENECLASS2 is a software that computes various genetic assignment criteria to assign or exclude reference populations as the origin of diploid haploid individuals, well groups on basis multilocus genotype data. In addition traditional aims, program allows specific task first-generation migrant detection. It includes several Monte Carlo resampling algorithms compute for each individual its probability belonging population be resident (i.e., not migrant) in where it was sampled. A...
As a portable source of food, water, fuel, and construction materials, the coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) played fundamental role in human migrations development civilization across humid tropics. Here we investigated coconut's domestication history its population genetic structure as it relates to dispersal patterns. A sample 1,322 accessions, representing geographical phenotypic diversity species, was examined using ten microsatellite loci. Bayesian analyses reveal two highly genetically...
Abstract Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera,2n = 32), a member of genus Cocos and family Arecaceae (Palmaceae), is an important tropical fruit oil crop. Currently, coconut cultivated in 93 countries, including Central South America, East West Africa, Southeast Asia the Pacific Islands, with total growth area more than 12 million hectares [1]. generally classified into 2 main categories: “Tall” (flowering 8–10 years after planting) “Dwarf” 4–6 planting), based on morphological characteristics...
Abstract Coconut ( Cocos nucifera ) is the emblematic palm of tropical coastal areas all around globe. It provides vital resources to millions farmers. In an effort better understand its evolutionary history and develop genomic tools for improvement, a sequence draft was recently released. Here, we present dense linkage map (8402 SNPs) aiming assemble large genome coconut (2.42 Gbp, 2n = 32) into 16 pseudomolecules. As result, 47% sequences (representing 77% genes) were assigned groups...
Identification of an individual, clone or pure line with molecular markers is a simple matter, at least in theory. It involves having sufficient number reproducible to ensure that each the genotypes corresponds unique genetic profile. When operational taxonomic units (OTU) be identified are allogamous populations, them series for which it impossible make list, but can characterized, example, by allelic frequencies. therefore has carried out terms probabilities. The method proposed consists...
Coconut mite ( Aceria guerreronis ‘Keifer’) has become a major threat to Indian coconut Coçcos nucifera L.) cultivators and the processing industry. Chemical biological control measures have proved be costly, ineffective, ecologically undesirable. Planting mite-resistant cultivars is most effective method of preventing yield loss should form component any integrated pest management stratagem. genotypes, -susceptible accessions were collected from different parts South India. Thirty-two...
We propose a general formulation of the Bayesian method for assigning individuals to population among predetermined set reference populations using molecular marker information. Compared previously published methods, ours allows us consider different types prior information about allele frequencies by Dirichlet probability distribution. It also makes it possible assign assumed belong same with increased accuracy their pooled genotype data. The efficiency is illustrated application group...
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The genome size of a species (C‐value) is associated with growth, development and adaptation to environmental changes. Angiosperm C‐values range 1200‐fold frequently vary within species, although little known about the impacts domestication on size. Genome variation among related palms evolutionary significance because changes characterize clades may be polyploidy, transposon amplifications, deletions, or rearrangements. Further knowledge will provide crucial...
AFLP and SSR DNA markers were used to construct a linkage map in the coconut (Cocos nucifera L.; 2n = 32) type Rennell Island Tall (RIT). A total of 227 arranged into 16 groups. The genome length corresponded 1971 cM for RIT map, with 5-23 per group. QTL analysis yield characters two consecutive sampling periods identified nine loci. Three QTLs detected number bunches one three nuts. correlation trait values between evaluation is partially reflected identical QTLs. represent that are...
Coconut palms of the Tall group were introduced to Brazil from Cape Verde Islands in 1553. The present study sought evaluate genetic diversity among and within Brazilian coconut populations. Samples collected 195 trees 10 Genetic was accessed by investigating 13 simple sequence repeats (SSR) loci. This provided a total 68 alleles, ranging 2 alleles per locus, with an average 5.23. mean values gene (H(e) ) observed heterozygosity (H(o) 0.459 0.443, respectively. differentiation populations...
The Cape Saint Paul Wilt Disease (CSPWD) is a coconut lethal yellowing type disease (LY) and the single most serious threat to cultivation in Ghana. recommended management strategy of disease-resistant varieties. More than 38 varieties have been screened for their resistance CSPWD since 1956 results are reviewed this paper. Two varieties, Sri Lanka Green Dwarf (SGD) Vanuatu Tall (VTT), shown high disease, hybrid (SGD × VTT) under observation determine its performance. A programme...
