The population genetics of two hybridizing Mexican red oaks, Quercus affinis Schweid. and Quercus laurina Humb. & Bonpl., was investigated with 54 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers scored in 415 individuals from 16 populations representing the distribution area of the two species and a probable secondary hybrid zone. Genetic relationships among populations, depicted in a unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averaging (UPGMA) dendrogram, were largely incongruent with the morphological classification of populations as Q. affinis-like or Q. laurina-like that was obtained in previous studies. In contrast, the two main population clusters in the UPGMA dendrogram corresponded to the location of populations in two distinct geographical areas: southwestern and northeastern. A Mantel test confirmed a significant association between geographic and genetic distances among populations. Analyses of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated that most genetic variation is contained within populations (84%), while 10.5% (P < 0.0001) is among populations, and 5.1% (P = 0.007) is between the two morphological groups. Differentiation between the southwestern and northeastern geographical groups (as recognized by the UPGMA), was 7.8% (P < 0.0001). The incongruence between genetic and phenotypic patterns suggests that introgression of neutral markers has been considerable between the two species in the hybrid zone, while morphological differentiation has remained comparatively stable.Key words: hybridization, population genetics, Quercus, RAPD markers.

Diversity Assessment

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an asexually propagated crop that displays much morphological diversity. Studies which have assessed garlic diversity with isozymes and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers generally agreed with the morphological observations but sometimes failed to discriminate clones. To discriminate among closely related garlic clones in more detail, we introduced amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLPs) to evaluate the genetic diversity and phenetic relatedness of 45 garlic clones and three A. longicuspis clones and we compared AFLP results with RAPD markers and isozymes. Three AFLP primer combinations generated a total of 183 polymorphic fragments. Although similarities between the clusters were low (≥0.30), some clones within the clusters were very similar (>0.95) with AFLP analysis. Sixteen clones represented only six different banding patterns, within which they shared 100% polymorphic AFLPs and RAPD markers, and likely are duplicates. In agreement with the results of other investigators, A. longicuspis and A. sativum clones were clustered together with no clear separation, suggesting these species are not genetically or specifically distinct. The topology of AFLP, RAPD, and isozyme dendrograms were similar, but RAPD and isozyme dendrograms reflected less and much less polymorphism, respectively. Comparison of unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averaging (UPGMA) dendrograms of AFLP, RAPD, and isozyme cluster analyses using the Mantel test indicated a correlation of 0.96, 0.55, and 0.57 between AFLP and RAPD, AFLP and isozyme, and RAPD and isozyme, respectively. Polymorphic AFLPs are abundant in garlic and demonstrated genetic diversity among closely related clones which could not be differentiated with RAPD markers and isozymes. Therefore, AFLP is an additional tool for fingerprinting and detailed assessment of genetic relationships in garlic.

Japanese stone pine (Pinuspumila Regel) is a dominant species characteristic of alpine zones of high mountains. Eighteen natural populations of P. pumila were studied in an effort to determine the extent and distribution of genetic diversity. The extent of genetic diversity within this species was high (HT = 0.271), and the genetic differentiation among populations was also high (GST = 0.170) compared with those of other conifers. In previous studies of P. pumila in Russia, the genetic variation within the species was also high, but the genetic differentiation among populations was low. We infer that this difference originates from differences in geographic distribution and ecological differences between the two countries. The genetic variation within each population tended, as a whole, to be smaller within marginal southern populations than within northern populations. Genetic relationships among populations reflect the geographic locations, as shown by unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means and neighbor-joining phylogenetic trees.

High Genetic Diversity

Genetic diversity studies are essential to understand the conservation and management of plant resources in any environment. The genus Consolida (DC.) Gray (Ranuculaceae) belongs to tribe Delphinieae. It comprises approximately 52 species, including the members of the genus Aconitella Spach. No detailed Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) studies were conducted to study Consolida genetic diversity. Therefore, we collected and analyzed 19 species from 12 provinces of regions. Overall, one hundred and twenty-seven plant specimens were collected. We showed significant differences in quantitative morphological characters in plant species. Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean and principal component analysis (PCA) divided Consolida species into two groups. All primers produced polymorphic amplicons though the extent of polymorphism varied with each primer. The primer OPA-06 was found to be most powerful and efficient as it generated a total of 24 bands of which 24 were polymorphic. The Mantel test showed correlation (r = 0.34, p=0.0002) between genetic and geographical distances. We reported high genetic diversity, which clearly shows the Consolida species can adapt to changing environments since high genetic diversity is linked to species adaptability. Present results highlighted the utility of RAPD markers and morphometry methods to investigate genetic diversity in Consolida species. Our aims were 1) to assess genetic diversity among Consolida species 2) is there a correlation between species genetic and geographical distance? 3) Genetic structure of populations and taxa.

Genetic analysis with RAPD markers has been extensively used to determine diversity among maize genotypes. The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic relationships among 70 genotypes, provided from SCDA Turda Cluj germplasm collection. RAPD analysis was performed with 14 decamer primers. These primers generated, among the studied genotypes, a number of polymorphic bands comprised between 13 bands (OPA 04) and 7 bands (OPAL 20). The highest numbers of polymorphic bands were obtained with primer OPA 04, respectively 13 bands, following by OPO 12 (12 polymorphic bands), OPAB 11 and OPA 17 (11 polymorphic bands). Lowest number was obtained with primer OPAL 20, respectively 7 polymorphic bands. Genetic distances were established using Nei-Li coefficient and UPGMA dendrogram was constructed with RAPDistance 1.04 software. The built dendrogram shows phylogenetic relationships between genotypes analyzed.

Olive Cultivars

Eighty-two Spanish olive cultivars from the World Germplasm Bank of the Centro de Investigación y Formación Agraria (CIFA) Alameda del Obispo in Cordoba (Spain) were analysed by RAPD markers to assess their genetic relatedness and to study patterns of genetic variation. The dendrogram based on unweighted pair group cluster analysis using Jaccard's index included two major groups that consisted mostly of cultivars from the southern and central part of Spain. Clustering together of cultivars from the Levante zone was also observed. The pattern of genetic variation among olive cultivars from three different Spanish zones (Levante, central and Andalusia) was analysed by means of the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Although most of the genetic variability was attributable to differences of cultivars within each zone (95.88%), significant φ-values among zones (φst = 0.041; p < 0.001) suggested the existence of phenotypic differentiation. These results are consistent with the predominantly allogamous nature of Olea europaea L. species. Significant values of φst for the pair Andalusia/Levante indicate the presence of differentiation. The negative value of φst observed in the case of the Andalusia/central pair suggests that some varieties from central Spain are more similar to the Andalusian ones than to the varieties of their own geographic area, and vice versa.

<p><em>Identification of the genetic diversity within populations of yellow-berried Arabica coffee cultivar based on morphological characters faced an obstacle in finding identical environmental conditions at farmers field. Therefore, an approach which is not influenced by differences in environmental conditions is required, for instance based on DNA polymorphism. The research aimed to analyze genetic variation within populations of yellow-berried Arabica coffee cultivar based on SSRs markers. The research was conducted in the Integrated Laboratory, Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute, Sukabumi, from April until June 2015. The leaf samples for DNA extraction were obtained from yellow-berried Arabica coffee cultivar (AGK-1) and two red-berried cultivars  as controls, namely  ABP-1 (dwarf type) and Typica (tall type). AGK-1 and ABP-1 cultivars consisted of 17 and 5 individual numbers, respectively, whereas Typica cultivar comprised three individuals. PCR amplification was carried out using 12 SSR primers. Four primers (M24, SSRCa052, M32, and M42) produced polymorphic band. The binary data obtained in this research was subsequently processed using NTSYS-PC program version 2.1. The genotypes were grouped  based on a genetic similarity matrix using the unweighted pair group method arithmetic mean (UPGMA). The result showed the existence of genetic variation among individual of AGK-1 cultivars, which forming three clusters at the genetic similarity value of 67%. One cluster exhibited close genetic relationships between some individuals within the population of AGK-1 cultivar and Typica cultivar. Meanwhile, the other two clusters showed high genetic similarity between AGK-1 cultivar and ABP-1 cultivar. The result demonstrated the possibility of gene flow between genotypes or residual heterozygosity within the population of  AGK-1 cultivar at farmers field, which required a further study.</em><em></em></p>

Genetic variation is a principal concern for the plant breeders. Genetic variation and relationship among high yielding rice varieties viz. Binadhan 4, Binadhan 5, Binadhan 6, Binasail, BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 were analyzed using four decamer random primers. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplified 22 RAPD markers, of which 18 (81.82%) were polymorphic. The proportion of polymorphic loci and the gene diversity values were 59.09% and 0.25 for the Binadhan 4; 59.09% and 0.21 for Binadhan 6; 54.55% and 0.23 for Binasail; 54.55% and 0.19 for BRRI dhan29; 50.00% and 0.19 for Binadhan 5 and 45.45% and 0.18 for BRRI dhan28, respectively. The coefficient of gene differentiation (Gst) across all loci was calculated as 0.35 reflecting the existence of high level of genetic variation among the six modern rice varieties. UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei’s genetic distance segregated the six high yielding rice varieties into two clusters: all four mutant varieties viz. Binadhan 4, Binadhan 5, Binadhan 6 and Binasail formed one cluster and two varieties of BRRI grown in boro season, BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 grouped together in another cluster. Among the mutants, two boro season varieties, developed from the same parent, Binadhan 5 and Binadhan 6 grouped together with genetic distance of 0.10. Therefore, RAPD offer a reliable method to evaluate genetic variation and relatedness among the high yielding rice varieties.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v21i1.17042

The Mean

PCR-RAPD markers revealed individual variation in F. ornus. A total of 122 fragments were amplified using 7 primers and of these 97 fragments were polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic loci was between 53.3% and 74.6% with an average of 63.1%. The mean gene diversity for all populations was 0.30 and the mean Shannon?s index was 0.44. Of the total genetic variation 87% was intra-population whilst 13% was inter-population. The Mantel test revealed significant correlation between genetic and geographical distance matrice. Results herein represent the first use of molecular genetic (DNA) markers to characterize genetic variation in F. ornus populations. The partition of total genetic variance indicates a relatively restricted population differentiation as expected in outcrossing species. Present and future information on genetic structure and variability in F. ornus needs to be incorporated into strategies for the preservation of genetic resources of tree species.

In this study, genetic variation and phylogenetic analysis of 13 populations of 6 species belonging to Conringia genus spreading in Turkey were performed using RAPD markers. Genomic DNA isolation from the leaves of the Conringia plant samples was performed via using a commercial kit. Seven RAPD primers were used to identify the genetic diversity between the populations. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed using DNA samples and primers. PCR products were resolved using agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized under UV light. All gel images were analyzed, and the absence and presence of polymorphic bands were scored. The total of 34 DNA bands were detected by seven RAPD primers. PAUP 4.0b10 analysis program was used to calculate phylogenetic tree and genetic distances between the species. The phylogenetic tree was obtained using the UPGMA algorithm and it was composed of two clades. According to the PAUP analysis, the species having the closest distance between each other are C. planisiliqua (Ankara-Aya?) and C. planisiliqua (Ankara-Nall?han) with the value of 0.000 and those having the longest distance are C. grandiflora (Akseki ?ukurk?y) and C. orientalis (Elaz??-Baskil) with the value of 0.6000. The results suggest that the RAPD markers are useful tools to demonstrate the genetic relationships between populations of the Conringia species.

Objective: The present investigation was undertaken for identification and assessment of eight accessions of Curcuma longa collected from all ecological zones in India by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.Methods: DNA was isolated using modified cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed according to the method based on Williams et al. and data analysis was done using Alpha Imager EC software.Results: Eleven out of twenty primers screened were informative and produced 150 amplification products among which 132 products (88%) were found to be polymorphic. The percentage polymorphism of all 08 accessions ranged from 44.44% to 100%. A total of 150 amplification products were scored with an average frequency of 13.63 bands per primer. Most of the RAPD markers studied showed a different level of genetic polymorphism. The data of 150 RAPD bands were used to generate Jaccard’s similarity coefficients and to construct a dendrogram by means of UPGMA.Conclusion: Results shows that C. longa undergoes genetic variation due to a wide range of ecological conditions within distribution area of its population in India. This investigation as an understanding of the level and partitioning of genetic variation within the accessions and would provide an important input into determining efficient management strategies and will help to breeders for turmeric improvement program.
