Hedysarum sangilense Krasnoborov et Timokhina (Fabaceae) is а rare subendemic species of the Fabaceae family. It has been found in a restricted area, only in isolated habitats in Tyva Republic and Northern Mongolia. Two PCR techniques, using RAPD and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers, were used to perform a comparative analysis of genetic diversity in this species. When amplifying DNA with three RAPD primers, we produced 51 bands, of which 21 (40.6 %) were polymorphic. Amplification of genomic DNA using ISSR analysis yielded 96 fragments, of which 35 (36.6 %) were polymorphic. Nei,s gene diversity (H) was estimated to be 0.105 within populations (range 0.086–0.150) and 0.191 at the species level. Genetic differentiation among populations (GST) was 0.383. The results indicate that both of the marker systems RAPD and ISSR, individually or in combination, can be effectively used in the determination of the genetic relationship among and within populations of H. sangilense.

More recently the use of different molecular markers in fruit species to determine particularly genetic diversity, genetic relationships and cultivar identification has been gained more importance. In the study, 13 randomly amplified polimorfic DNA (RAPD) and 4 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate genetic relationships among 95 almong accessions (26 foreign cultivars and 69 national cultivars and selections). The all plant material found in Almond Germplasm Repository in Gaziantep, Turkey. Both RAPD and ISSR markers distinguished the almond cultivars and selections in various levels. 17 RAPD and ISSR markers yielded a total of 73 scorable bands, which 51 are polymorphic. The two marker system exhibited variation with regard to average band sizes and polymorphism ratio. The average polymorphism was higher in ISSR (88%) compared to RAPD (74%). RAPD and ISSR marker systems were found to be useful for determining genetic diversity among almong genotypes and cultivars. Combining of two dendrograms obtained through these markers show different clustering of 96 almond specimens without geographical isolation. These results supported that almonds in Turkey indicated considerable genetic diversity.

Abstract Morinda (Rubiaceae) is considerably recognized for its multiple uses viz. food, medicine, dyes, firewood, tools, oil, bio-sorbent etc. The molecular characterization of such an important plant would be very useful for its multifarious enhanced utilization. In the present study, 31 Morinda genotypes belonging to two different species Morinda citrifolia and Morinda tomentosa collected from different regions of India were investigated using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. Fifteen ISSR primers generated 176 bands with an average of 11.7 bands per primer, of which (90.34%) were polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic bands, mean Nei’s gene diversity, mean Shannon’s information index in Morinda tomentosa and Morinda citrifolia was [(69.89%, 30.68%); (0.21 ± 0.19, 0.12 ± 0.20); (0.32 ± 0.27 0.17 ± 0.28)] respectively, revealing higher polymorphism and genetic diversity in Morinda tomentosa compared to Morinda citrifolia. Structure, and UPGMA cluster analysis placed the genotypes into well-defined separate clusters belonging to two species Morinda tomentosa and Morinda citrifolia revealing the utility of ISSR markers in species differentiation. Distinct ecotypes within a particular species could also be inferred emphasizing the collection and conservation of Morinda genotypes from different regions, in order to capture the overall diversity of respective species. Further higher diversity of M. tomentosa must be advanced for its utilization in nutraceutical, nutritional and other nonfood purposes.

In this study genetic diversity and interspecific relationships of 11 Allium L. species from Khorassan province of Iran including 32 accessions were investigated by inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Nine ISSR primers produced a total of 80 polymorphic markers and revealed high polymorphism among the studied species. The average gene diversity, effective number of alleles and Shannon’s information index were 0.2, 1.28 and 0.3, respectively. Allium kuhsorkhense exhibited the greatest level of variation (He: 0.18), whereas A. stipitatum demonstrated the lowest level of variability (He: 0.05). UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean) analysis showed that Allium accessions have a similarity range of 0.60 to 0.95. Allium scapriscapum composed the most distant group in the dendrogram. The clustered groups of Allium species clearly reflect the recent taxonomic concept of the genus at the subgenus and section levels. The present study showed that the ISSR technique is an effective molecular approach for analyzing genetic diversity and relationship in Allium species.Bangladesh J.

Grapevine cultivars diversity is vast and full of synonyms and homonyms. Up to few decades ago characterization of grapevine was based on morphological characters. In the last decades, molecular markers were developed and have been used as tools to study genetic diversity in a range of different plant species. Fifty-six Portuguese accessions representative of ‘Vinhos Verdes’ and ‘Douro’ Controlled Designations of Origin (DOC) were analysed through DNA fingerprints generated by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR). The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of RAPD and ISSR molecular techniques in the detection of synonyms, homonyms and misnames. RAPD and ISSR analysis enabled the detection of 36 different band patterns, reducing in about 36% the initial material. Several accessions grown under different names, between and within collections, were confirmed as the same genotype, namely Gouveio/Verdelho, Sousão Douro/Vinhão and Arinto Oeste/Pedernã. Similarly, some homonyms/misnames were also identified, namely within Azal Tinto and Rabigato accessions. RAPD and ISSR markers revealed to be adequate molecular techniques for grapevine varieties fingerprinting with advantages over other molecular procedures, contributing for a good management of grapevine collections.

Stephanie Kwangsiensis H. S. Lo and Salvia prionitis Hance were two rare and valuable Chinese herbs. Genetic diversity of the two plants were studied by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers after they were transplantation and tissue culture. Results indicated that Nei’s gene diversity (H), Shannon’s information index (I), the percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL) of source / transplantation / tissue culture materials of S. Kwangsiensis H. S. Lo were H=0.282 / 0.195/ 0.056, I=0.415 / 0.290 / 0.087, PPL=75.6% / 56.1% /19.5% based on RAPDs and H=0.295 / 0.292 / 0.111, I=0.445 / 0.435 / 0.166, PPL=85.3% / 85.3% / 32.8% based ISSRs. And the same parameters of source / transplantation / tissue culture materials of S. prionitis Hance were H=0.193 / 0.192 / 0.231, I=0.291 / 0.289 /0.347, PPL=57.8% / 57.2% / 68.6% based on RAPDs and H=0.217 / 0.217 / 0.155, I=0.327 / 0.326 /0.235, and PPL=64.2% / 64.2% / 49.1% based on ISSRs instead. For the transplanted materials, genetic diversity was slightly declining with the disappearance of adversity. And for the tissue culture materials, more genets sampled for tissue culture, less reduction of genetic diversity; and fewer genets sampled, more reduction of genetic diversity. In addition, high genetic diversity appearing in tissue culture materials of S. prionitis Hance partially generate from somatic mutations. And these mutations maybe related to RAPD-PCR regions and just had been checked out by RAPDs.

Melanocrommyum, a subgenus of the Allium genus, is found in different regions of Iran and is in danger of extinction due to excessive exploitation. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity in 170 individuals representing 17 wild populations belonging to six endangered species of Allium subg. Melanocrommyum using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The 10 selected ISSR primers produced 178 polymorphic fragments (100%). Polymorphic band number varied from 12 (primer 8) to 22 (primer 2). The average observed number of alleles, effective number of alleles, Shannon?s indices and Nei?s gene diversity were 1.48, 1.2, 0.2 and 0.1, respectively. According to Nei?s genetic distance, the lowest genetic distance (0.048) was observed among both two populations of A. elburzense (Emamzadeh Ebrahim and Kamelat), and two populations of A. subakaka (Jame Shoran and Ghalelan) while the highest distance (0.097) was observed among a population of A. kurdistanicum (Taze Abad Oryeh) with both A. pseudobodeanum (Shen Jari), and A. derderianum (Dareh Oson) populations. In UPGMA cluster analysis, the populations were grouped into four main clusters at a cutoff value of 0.07. The analysis of molecular variance showed that the maximum value of genetic variation was found within the populations (68%), where as a low genetic differentiation was observed among the populations (32%). Our results revealed that ISSR molecular markers are useful to display the diversity in Allium genus and can be used to improve the classification accuracy. This study provided valuable information for the conservation of these species and breeding program planning.

Abstract Assessing the level and distribution of genetic diversity of rare tree species is essential for their management and the development of effective conservation strategies. Cupressus gigantea is a long-lived endemic cypress of the west Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and the tallest tree in its genus. The current populations of this species are fragmented and highly disturbed. We used RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) and ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat amplification) markers to assess the genetic variation and population structure of this endangered cypress. The 15 RAPD primers used in this study amplified 108 reproducible bands, 49 (45.4%) of which were polymorphic, while the 12 ISSR primers amplified 94 bands, 65 (69.2%) of which were polymorphic. Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) indicated that 49.7% and 38.3% of the variation was attributable to differences between populations for the RAPD and ISSR markers, respectively; relatively high compared to values reported for other conifer species. These estimates were also similar to Gst values obtained from Nei’s gene diversity analyses (RAPD = 0.41 and ISSR = 0.36), and suggest that there is a high degree of population differentiation in this narrowly-distributed conifer. The genetic structure of this species has probably been shaped by its long life cycle and climatic changes during the Quaternary. The high degree of population differentiation in this species highlights the need for additional conservation measures, including measures to protect of all of the remaining populations. The substantial similarities between the results of the RAPD and ISSR analyses of samples from the same individuals indicate that they can be interpreted with high levels of confidence.

To analyze the genetic diversity of 9 species of Clematis from 31 different populations, we extracted DNA by the improved CTAB method, used ISSR-PCR for amplification, and then selected 9 primers with clear amplified bands from amongst 220 primers. A total of 127 clear bands were amplified, of which 126 were polymorphic bands, yielding a ratio of 99.2%. The polymorphism information index (PIC) of the primers ranged from 0.9326 to 0.9649. The Nei’s genetic diversity index (H) was 0.2750, the total gene diversity (Ht) was 0.2845, and the genetic differentiation coefficient (Gst) was 0.6696, indicating high genetic differentiation among populations of Clematis. After cluster analysis, the 31 Clematis populations were divided into 3 categories. Principal coordination analysis (PCoA) of 9 Clematis species then showed that the genetic relationship between samples of the same Clematis germplasms was closer than that of samples from the same region. The mantel test revealed a significant positive correlation between genetic distance and geographical distance among the populations. The population clustering results are broadly consistent with the clustering graphs of UPGMA and PCoA. We can conclude the polymorphism of the 9 primers is good, and that the genetic diversity of 31 Clematis populations is rich. Individual Clematis germplasms are closely related and will gather together preferentially.

Niger plant (Guizotia abyssinica), exhibits phenotypic plasticity in different environments. There is need to assess its genetic diversity since guizotia species has a high number of species which may be confused amongst themselves. To achieve this, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to estimate genetic diversity among 12 wild populations of Niger plant from Moiben sub-county. Total genomic DNA was extracted as per the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (Ctab) method and subjected to ISSR analysis using 20 primers. None of the primers produced unique banding patterns. ISSR data were used to calculate a squared-euclidean distance matrix. All the twenty primers (100%) gave polymorphic bands thus they were all considered for further analysis. The allele frequency of all the primers was below 0.95 indicating that they were all polymorphic in character. Gene diversity was high ranging from 0.3550 to 0.7337 with a mean value of 0.6302. The ISSR based upgma clustering produced four clusters. Niger plant within Moiben sub-county was found to be genetically diverse though heterozygosity was not noticed. The study recommends further analysis of Niger plant so as to form a basis for further development of the plant.

Ottelia acuminata (Gagnep.) Dandy (Hydrocharitaceae), an endangered aquatic species, was investigated in the Eastern Himalayas, especially in Yunnan Province of Southwest China. The genetic diversity among seven populations was examined using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) amplification markers. The field survey showed that 43.5% natural populations of O. acuminata have become extinct during the last 30 years. Among 13 remaining wild populations, eight (61.5%) are on the edge of extinction and only five (38.5%) were unaffected. For the study on seven populations based on ten primers, 147 clear and reproducible DNA fragments were generated, of which 144 (97.96%) were polymorphic. Within populations, however, the polymorphic bands (PPB) generated by ISSRs was 53 and occupied 36.05% in population B, and similarly within population J (51 and 34.69%, respectively). The results showed that genetic variation is much higher among populations of O. acuminata than within populations. Analyses of Nei’s gene diversity, genetic distance and Shannon’s index also agreed with these results. The average value of Nei’s gene diversity (h) equaled 0.3710. The coefficient of genetic differentiation (Gst) equaled 0.5487, which means that 54.87% of the total molecular variance existed among populations. Such a high level of divergence present among populations may be caused by the complex topography and separated habitats which effectively restrict gene flow. Moreover, there is a lack of significant association between genetic and geographical distances (r = 0.28889, P > 0.05) in the populations of O. acuminata. Therefore, we proposed an appropriate strategy for conserving the genetic resources of O. acuminata in the Eastern Himalayas; namely, rescuing and conserving the core populations in situ, while selecting and preserving more populations with fewer individuals from each population ex situ.
