Java Island is one of origins of a large number of indigenous upland rice accessions, which may serve as valuable plant genetic resources for future crop improvement in Indonesia. However, these landraces especially non-glutinous and glutinous rice are rapidly being lost because of land-use, agricultural practices and other factors. A better understanding of genetic diversity of local upland rice is important for crop improvement program, crop management and conservation strategy. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of upland rice landraces originating from Java Island. A total of 82 upland rice accessions comprising of 55 non-glutinous rice and 27 glutinous type were genotyped using the 16 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The result showed that a total of 74 alleles were found with major allele frequency found on RM431 (0.96). Most of the SSR markers (56.3%) showed high discriminating power as represented by polymorphic informa-tion content (PIC) value higher than 0.5. A moderate genetic diversity index was detected in all landraces, which was 0.55. Genetic diversity index of non-glutinous and glutinous rice were 0.54 and 0.53, respectively. Their genetic distance was about 0.057. The phylogenetic tree generated two main clusters that demonstrated discrimination among landraces according to the individual genetic properties rather than their geographical origins and grain types (non-glutinous and glutinous type). The levels of genetic diversity were varied across rice types and geographical origins. According to the regions, the closest genetic distance was found between upland rice landraces from Central Java and West Java (0.040). The information derived from this study is important, in combination with phenotypic data, to identify desired useful traits came from different origins of the gene pool to be used for breeding purposes.

Despite widespread mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] consumption in Indonesia, few molecular studies have been carried out on accessions and available data are minimal. In this study, we used 30 newly developed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers designed from the mapped sequence scaffolds of the Korean Sunhwanokdu and Gyeonggijaerae 5 mungbean genomes. These markers were used to examine loci in 83 mungbean accessions collected from diverse geographical areas in Indonesia. A total of 107 alleles were detected among the accessions with 29 polymorphic markers. However, the mean of polymorphic information content (0.33) value and diversity index (0.38) value was indicative of low genetic diversity in this germplasm. The mungbean population structure was not clearly differentiated and the number of subpopulations was unclear. Neighbour-joining tree analysis revealed that the genetic cluster did not reflect the geographical origin of the accessions. Interestingly, the most agriculturally improved varieties were genetically similar to some landraces from one of the main mungbean-producing regions. These newly developed SSR markers could be useful for detecting genetic variability as a basis for establishing a conservation strategy for mungbean germplasm with the aim of enhancing Indonesian breeding programmes.

Shanlan upland rice, a kind of unique rice germplasm in Hainan Island, was used to evaluate genetic diversity and association between SSR markers and agronomic traits. A total of 239 alleles were detected in 57 Hainan upland rice varieties using 35 SSR markers, and the number of alleles per locus was 2-19. The observed heterozygosity was 0.0655-0.3115. The Shannon diversity index was 0.1352-0.4827. The genetic similarity coefficient was 0.6736-0.9707, and 46 varieties were clustered into one group, indicating that the genetic base of the Shanlan upland rice germplasm was narrow. A total of 25 SSR markers significantly related to plant height, effective panicle number per plant, panicle length, total grain number, filled grain number, seed rating rate, and 1000-grain weight were obtained ( P < 0.01 ), with the percentage of the total variations explained ranging from 0.12% to 42.62%. RM208 explained 42.62% of the total variations in plant height of Shanlan upland rice. RM493 was significantly associated with 6 agronomic traits. We can speculate that RM208 may flank QTLs responsible for plant height and RM493 may flank QTLs playing a fundamental role in the intertwined regulatory network of agronomic traits of Shanlan upland rice.

Abstract Genetic diversity and structure analysis using molecular markers is necessary for efficient utilization and sustainable management of gladiolus germplasm. Genetic analysis of gladiolus germplasm using SSR markers is largely missing due to scarce genomic information. In the present investigation, we report 66.66% cross transferability of Gladiolus palustris SSRs whereas 48% of Iris EST-SSRs were cross transferable across the gladiolus genotypes used in the study. A total of 17 highly polymorphic SSRs revealed a total 58 polymorphic loci ranging from two to six in each locus with an average of 3.41 alleles per marker. PIC values ranged from 0.11 to 0.71 with an average value of 0.48. Four SSRs were selectively neutral based on Ewens-Watterson test. Analysis of genetic structure of 84 gladiolus genotypes divided whole germplasm into two subpopulations. 35 genotypes were assigned to subpopulation 1 whereas 37 to subpopulation 2 and rest of the genotypes recorded as admixture. Analysis of molecular variance indicated maximum variance (53.59%) among individuals within subpopulations whereas 36.55% of variation observed among individuals within total population. Least variation (9.86%) was noticed between two subpopulations. Moderate (FST = 0.10) genetic differentiation of two subpopulations was observed. Grouping pattern of population structure was consistent with UPGMA dendrogram based on simple matching dissimilarity coefficient (ranged from 01.6 to 0.89) and PCoA. Genetic relationships assessed among the genotypes of respective clusters assist the breeders in selecting desirable parents for crossing. SSR markers from present study can be utilized for cultivar identification, conservation and sustainable utilization of gladiolus genotypes for crop improvement.

Genetic diversity is the source of novel allelic combinations that can be efficiently utilized in any crop improvement program. To facilitate future crop improvement programs in rice, a study was designed to identify the underlying genetic variations in the Sali rice germplasms of Assam using SSR markers. The 129 SSR markers that were used in the study amplified a total of 765 fragments with an average of 5.93 alleles per locus. The Shannon's Information Index was found to be in the range from 0.533 to 1.786. The Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) fell into the range from 0.304 to 0.691 with a mean value of 0.55. The overall FST value was found to be 0.519 that indicated the presence of genetic differentiation amongst the genotypes used in the study. The Sali population was divided into two clusters. The information obtained from the present study will facilitate the genetic improvement of Sali rice cultivars.

<p>Microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have proven to be an excellent tool for cultivar identification, pedigree analysis, and genetic distance evaluations among organisms. The objectives of this research were to characterize cacao collection of Indonesian Coffee and Cacao Research Institute (ICCRI) and to analyze their genetic diversity using SSR markers. In this research, 39 SSR primer pairs were used to amplify genomic DNA of 29 cacao clones. Amplified SSR fragments for each primer pair were scored as individual band and used to determine genetic distance among evaluated cacao clones. Results of the experiment indicated that all SSR primer pairs evaluated were able to produce SSR markers for 29 cacao clones. The results also indicated that 34 out of 39 microsatellite loci evaluated were polymorphic, while 5 others were monomorphic. The total number of observed alleles among 29 clones was 132. Number of alleles per locus ranged from 4-8, with an average of 5.5 alelles per locus. Results of data analysis indicated that the PIC value was 0.665, the observed heterozigosity (Ho) was 0.651, and the gene diversity (He) was 0.720. The PIC, Ho, and He values were considered high. Genetic distances were evaluated using NTSys version 2.1 and dendrogram was constructed. Results of analysis indicated that 12 cacao clones evaluated were clustered in the first group with diversity coefficient of &lt; 3.75. Nine cacao clones were in the second group but with the same value of diversity coefficient (&lt;7.50). The rest of the cacao clones were in the third group with diversity coefficient of&gt;7.50. Based on those finding, all SSR primer pairs evaluated could be used to analyze cacao genome and be useful for genetic diversity analysis of cacao germplasm. The SSR marker analysis in ICCRI cacao collections resulted in high PIC, high observed heterozygosity, and high genetic diversity.</p><p>Key words: Theobroma cacao L, microsatelite, molecular marker, genetic diversity, heterozygosity</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Marka mikrosatelit atau sekuens sederhana berulang (simple sequence repeat = SSR) terbukti merupakan alat yang bagus untuk identifikasi kultivar, analisis pedigree, dan evaluasi jarak genetik berbagai organisme.

Information on the patterns of genetic variation and population structure is essential for rational use and efficient management of germplasms. It helps in monitoring germplasm and can also be used to predict potential genetic gains. Therefore, in the present study genetic diversity of 59 rice genotypes were assessed using 8 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers. By the DNA profiling, a total of 114 alleles were detected. Allele number per/locus ranged from 9 to 27, with an average of 14.25. Average polymorphism information content (PIC) value was 0.857 with lowest 0.767 to highest 0.857. Mean gene diversity over all SSR loci was 0.870 with a range from 0.792 to 0.948. Fst values for each locus varied from 0.071 to 0.262. Genetic distance between the variety pair ranged from 0.33 to 1.0. The lowest genetic distance was found between Rajashili and Kumragori (2). Cluster and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) analysis revealed similar pattern of variation. Marker RM11300 was found most polymorphic and robust among the accessions and can be widely used for rice germplasm characterization. The exclusive variability and unique feature of germplasm found in this study can be a gateway for both domestic and global rice improvement.© 2012 JSR Publications.

Trait tagging through molecular markers is an important molecular breeding tool for crop improvement. SSR markers encoded by functionally relevant parts of a genome are well suited for this task because they may be directly related to traits. However, a limited number of these markers are known for Musa spp. Here, we report 35136 novel functionally relevant SSR markers (FRSMs). Among these, 17,561, 15,373 and 16,286 FRSMs were mapped in-silico to the genomes of Musa acuminata, M. balbisiana and M. schizocarpa, respectively. A set of 273 markers was validated using eight accessions of Musa spp., from which 259 markers (95%) produced a PCR product of the expected size and 203 (74%) were polymorphic. In-silico comparative mapping of FRSMs onto Musa and related species indicated sequence-based orthology and synteny relationships among the chromosomes of Musa and other plant species. Fifteen FRSMs were used to estimate the phylogenetic relationships among 50 banana accessions, and the results revealed that all banana accessions group into two major clusters according to their genomic background. Here, we report the first large-scale development and characterization of functionally relevant Musa SSR markers. We demonstrate their utility for germplasm characterization, genetic diversity studies, and comparative mapping in Musa spp. and other monocot species. The sequences for these novel markers are freely available via a searchable web interface called Musa Marker Database.

Genetic diversity is prerequisite for any crop improvement program as it helps in the development of superior recombinants. Fifty Malaysian upland rice accessions were evaluated for 12 growth traits, yield and yield components. All of the traits were significant and highly significant among the accessions. The higher magnitudes of genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were recorded for flag leaf length-to-width ratio, spikelet fertility, and days to flowering. High heritability along with high genetic advance was registered for yield of plant, days to flowering, and flag leaf length-to-width ratio suggesting preponderance of additive gene action in the gene expression of these characters. Plant height showed highly significant positive correlation with most of the traits. According to UPGMA cluster analysis all accessions were clustered into six groups. Twelve morphological traits provided around 77% of total variation among the accessions.
