DNA fingerprinting is rapid, easy, and efficient method for discrimination, identification and characterization of various genotypes for protection of plant breeder’s rights (PBRs). Present study was designed for DNA fingerprinting and genetic diversity assessment of 25 GM cotton genotypes (possessing Cry1Ac gene) using 297 SSR markers through conventional PCR and Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Out of 297 SSR markers, 25 markers were not amplified, 28 were monomorphic and 244 were polymorphic. A total of 1537 alleles were amplified among which 1294 (84.18%) were polymorphic. PIC value in our study ranged from 0.08 to 0.93 with an average of 0.73. Unique allelic pattern was observed for nineteen genotypes whereas six genotypes were identified using two-step identification methods. The UPGMA dendrogram divided the genotypes into two distinct clusters. Cluster I was comprised of 20 genotypes whereas cluster II was comprised of four genotypes. MNH-1020 did not obey any clustering and remained separated. The results of the structure analysis were complementary to cluster analysis and the population was divided into two subgroups. Our results evidenced narrow genetic base of the cotton genotypes cultivated in Punjab Pakistan due to use of common parents in the pedigree/parentage. Further, we proposed a core set of markers for future DNA fingerprinting and genetic diversity studies. The information generated in this study will be helpful in variety registration and subsequent protection under PBRs. Further our findings will be useful in selection of SSR markers for future studies which are focused on DNA fingerprinting and genetic diversity assessment. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

Diversity at molecular level among thirty rice genotypes, selected based on earliness and morphometric diversity was evaluated through five SSR markers associated with days to heading. Three primers viz., RM147, RM167 and RM215 showed polymorphism for growth duration related traits. A total of 17 alleles were detected among the 30 rice genotypes with an average of 5.66 alleles per locus. Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) ranged from 0.356 to 0.798 with an average of 0.543. A dendrogram based on total microsatellite polymorphism grouped 30 genotypes into four major clusters at 0.39 similarity coefficient differentiating early maturing genotypes from others. This information about the genetic diversity will be very useful for proper identification and selection of appropriate parents for future breeding programs, including gene mapping. The results also showed that microsatellite markers associated to genes or QTLs controlling growth duration properties are suitable tools for marker assisted selection (MAS) to select rice lines with short growth duration.

DNA fingerprinting and genetic diversity analysis helps direct selective breeding and conservation of plant species. Since simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers are co-dominant, they can predict level of genetic diversity and thereby protect plant genetic resources of a region. Keeping the aforesaid rationale in mind, we worked on molecular characterization of eight cotton varieties in Bangladesh using simple sequence repeat (SSR) or microsatellite DNA markers. All the three microsatellite DNA markers were found to be polymorphic, extracting a total of eight alleles with an average of 2.67 alleles per locus in the present study. Allele sizes were as 149-155 bp, 178-198 bp and 140-202 bp for the loci BNL1551, BNL1721 and BNL2960, respectively. Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values were ranged from 0.469 to 0.531. UPGMA dendrogram separated 8 varieties of cotton into two clusters. One cluster contained six varieties CB-1, CB-2, CB-3, CB-7, CB-9 and CB-10 while other two varieties CB-5 and HC 1 formed another cluster. The findings of this study would provide a useful guide for selecting specific germplasm with distinct genetic background for diversifying cotton breeding program in Bangladesh.

In Ghana, sesame is cultivated in some districts of northern Ghana. Genotypes cultivated are land races that are low yielding leading to decline in production. There is the need for improvement of these land races to generate high yielding cultivars. Characterization of genetic diversity of the sesame land races will be of great value in assisting in parental lines selection for sesame breeding programmes in Ghana. Twenty-five sesame land races were collected from five districts in northern Ghana noted for sesame cultivation. Seeds collected were planted in three replicates in randomized complete block design and were evaluated for a number of morphological characters. Data collected were subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a dendrogram showing similarity between the accessions were drawn. Data on number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, and plant height at flowering were subjected to analysis of variance using GenStat Discovery Edition 4. Molecular genetic diversity was assessed by using thirty eight SSR markers widely distributed across sesame genome to characterize the materials. Twenty-one out of the 38 primers were polymorphic. Cluster analyses using the Euclidean similarity test and a complete link clustering method were used to make a dendrogram out of the morphological data. Analysis of variance showed that capsule number was significantly different; a range of 54.9 and 146.7 was produced. The number of seeds per capsule varied significantly and the variation between highest and lowest accession in seed production was 33%. Plant height was also significantly different ranging from 60.6 to 94.1 cm. Using morphological traits the accessions clustered into two major groups and two minor groups and variation among accessions were 10-61%. On the other hand, SSR marker-based dendrogram revealed five major and two minor groups. It showed that variation among the accessions was low, 10-20%. Heterozygosity was 0.52, total alleles produced were 410, and average allele per locus was 19.52. Six accessions, C3, C4, S5, W1, W3, and W5 fell in five different clusters in the SSR dendrogram and in six clusters in the morphomolecular based dendrogram. These accessions were noted for high capsule number per plant and seeds number per capsule and are recommended for consideration as potential parental lines for breeding programme for high yield.

The Sorghum genus is extremely diverse both morphologically and geographically, however, relatively few of the 25 recognized species have been evaluated genetically. The apparent lack of basic knowledge pertaining to the levels of genetic diversity both within and between the 17 Australian wild species is a major obstacle to both their effective conservation and potential use in breeding programmes. Twelve Sorghum bicolor-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were evaluated for cross-species amplification in all 25 Sorghum species. The SSR markers were highly polymorphic, with diversity indices ranging from 0.59 to 0.99 with mean of 0.91. Five markers combined were able to differentiate 24 of the 25 Sorghum species, with intra-species polymorphism apparent. Sorghum bicolor-derived SSRs have proven to be an efficient source of markers for genetic diversity studies of the relatively poorly characterized Australian indigenous Sorghum species.

<em>Analysis of genetic diversity of cacao germplasm collections using molecular markers has an important role in the assembly of new superior clones. The availability of commercial and superior local clones could increase the success of new superior clones’ assembly. Hence, the genetic diversity analysis of these materials needs to be done. The study was aimed to analyze genetic diversity of 28 cacao collections based on SSR markers that would be useful for selection of parental lines. The research was conducted in the Integrated Laboratory, Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute, Sukabumi, and Plant Molecular Biology laboratory, Bogor Agricultural University, from November 2015 to May 2016.</em> <em>Analysis of genetic diversity was conducted using 28 cacao clones (13 superior local clones and 15 commercial clones). DNA was extraction using CTAB method, which then amplified by PCR technique using 20 SSR primers. The result showed that all SSR markers used in this study were polymorphic with an average value of PIC was high (57%). Phylogenetic tree constructed using DARwin program version 6.05 is divided into 3 major groups, which placed commercial and superior local clones together in each group. Superior local clones observed herein might have close relationships with commercial clones that have long been cultivated in Indonesia. Furthermore, some cacao clones could potentially be parental lines because they had high genetic distance. The results showed that SSR markers are powerful tools to determine potential parental lines, which is expected to increase the chances of heterosis in their progenies.</em>

The RAPD and SSR markers were used to compare the genetic diversity among the 16 maize inbred lines. Twenty-two primers were used in the RAPD reactions, resulting in the amplification of 265 fragments, while 16 pairs of SSR primers resulted in 75 fragments. The similarity based on Dice coefficient for the RAPD ranged from 53 to 84% and for the SSR from 11 to 82%. The dendrogram obtained by the RAPD showed five groups, while dendrogram obtained by the SSR showed three groups and one isolated line. The association constructed from the markers and the principal coordinate’s analysis separated lines into two groups according to endosperm color, either orange or yellow. The RAPD were effective to validate pedigree data, while the SSR were effective to recognize the differences between the quantitative characters. Because they assess the distinct regions of the genome, the selection of one or other marker would depend on the characteristics of the material used and the objectives of the project.

Seed protein patterns of 182 Stylosanthes accessions, representing 16 species and two hybrids, were obtained by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of crude extracts. All species could be recognized by examination of photographs and densitometer traces of the gels. Within the species capitata, guyanensis, hamata and viscosa considerable variation occurred, whilst the variation in humilis, scabra and fruticosa was not as great. Data from the densitometer traces were analysed by various methods of pattern analysis and the resulting classifications compared. A variance-standardized Euclidean distance coefficient was found to be the similarity measure of choice, whilst selection of fusion strategy was not as critical.Species relationships obtained by using the chemical data were not in agreement with the accepted taxonomic division of the genus into the sections Styposanthes and Stylosanthes. A classification based on the complete data set was compared with a working classification based on morphological and agronomic data, which is used in the agronomic assessment of the genus. Only within S. scabra did the two classifications conform. Morphological–agronomic (M–A) types within the species hamata and subsericea could be distinguished by the examination of the fine structure of the densitometer traces, whilst groups based on protein data in the species ahumilis, guyanensis, fruticosa and viscosa did not correspond with M–A groups. The application of seed protein patterns as a rapid and inexpensive means of identifying introductions of the genus at the species level, as well as characterizing types within certain species, is proposed.
