Abstract Background Improving oil palm in Nigeria for food security and subsequent export requires a better understanding of the genetic diversity among oil palm progenies tolerant and susceptible to Fusarium wilt disease. In view of the limitations of the orthodox method used in screening this disease, and the advantages of molecular markers, fourteen (14) Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) DNA markers were applied to evaluate the genetic diversity, population structure and cluster resolutions of alleles responsible for tolerance of 560 Elaeis guineensis Jacq palms representing 8 different progenies distributed across NigeriaResults The amplification product revealed a moderately high level of genetic diversity with a total of 46 alleles identified, resulting in an average of 4.9091 alleles per locus detected between the oil palm progenies. Polymorphic information content (PIC) values varied between 0.3706-0.7861, with a mean value of 0.6829. The genetic diversity values ranged from 0.4063-0.8125 with a mean of 0.7216, while the major allele frequency ranged from 0.2500- 0.7500 with a mean value of 0.3750. Shannon's information index (I), Nei's gene diversity (H), and the effective number of alleles (Ne) had values of 0.6931, 0.5000, and 2.000, respectively. The genetic diversity was highest in progeny 3023, and lowest in progeny 4189. Mean values of the total gene diversity (Ht), gene diversity within the population (Hs) of the progenies, coefficient of gene differentiation among the progenies (Gst) and level of gene flow (Nm) were 0.4899, 0.3520, 0.2815 and 1.2764, respectively. The dendrogram clustered the progenies into six major clusters, while Principal Component Analysis (PCA) grouped the progenies into five clusters. PCA further identified the coordinate positions of tolerant and susceptible alleles of oil palm progeniesConclusion This study confirmed the identification of the coordinate positions of tolerant alleles in the gene loci, which could be exploited by breeders to developing tolerant oil palm seedlings.

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.

Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) were used to evaluate the genetic diversity of Kongpo Monkshood (Aconitum kongboense L.) in Motuo, Tibet Plateau. From 70 accessions of three populations, 10 out of 100 informative ISSR primers were chosen for polymorphism analysis. Percentage of polymorphic bands was 50% to 66.67% with a mean of 58.42%. The effective number of alleles (Ne) was between 1.545 (population 3) and 1.586 (population 2), and the mean value was 1.564; the Nei’s gene diversity (h) ranged from 0.315 to 0.327 with the average value of 0.320; the value of Shannon’s information index (I) ranged from 0.459 to 0.478, with the mean of 0.469. Based on molecular data, cluster analysis classified the 70 cultivars into three groups. Most accessions were related to the geographical origin and their genetic backgrounds. Bayesian structure and PCoA analysis were consistent with the dendrogram result. Based on the analysis, it will provide a reference for Kongpo Monkshood breeding purposes and contribute to identification, rational exploitation, and conservation of germplasms.

Abstract. Nasrika E, Retnonongsih A. 2021. Inter Simple Sequence Repeat molecular markers to reveal the genetic diversity of superior durian of Gunungpati, Semarang, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 4054-4059. Kalimantan is the center of many tropical fruits, including durian. One of the edible durians and favorited by many is Durio zibethinus, which has many superior varieties. Almost all regions in Indonesia have superior durian varieties; for example, superior durian Gunungpati from Gunungpati Sub-district, the center for producing durian in Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia. ISSR analysis was carried out to reveal the genetic diversity of the superior durian Gunungpati. DNA isolation of 16 superior durians used the modified CTAB method. The genomic DNA was amplified using 10 ISSR primers and then electrophoresed using 2% agarose gel. Data were analyzed using NTSYS PC version 2.02. The resulting allele has a relative size of 220 bp-1800 bp, with 87.9% are polymorphic. The similarity coefficient of 16 varieties was ranged between 0.54-0.88. All the superior durian varieties examined were different accessions so that each variety has the potential to be registered as a new variety of superior Indonesian durian. Specific alleles are found in G1, G3, G7, G8, and G13, which can be an identity of these varieties.

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.
