Dieffenbachia Schott is an important ornamental foliage plant genus. A total of 30 species has been recognized, but most cultivars come from or are related to a single species, D. maculata (Lodd.) G. Don. At least 11 of the cultivars are sports or somaclonal variants. As a result, the potential lack of genetic diversity in cultivated Dieffenbachia has become a concern. However, no research has been conducted to determine the genetic relatedness of the cultivars. This study analyzed the genetic similarity of 42 Dieffenbachia cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Six primer sets, selected from an initial screening of 48, generated a total of 453 scorable AFLP fragments of which 323 (71%) are polymorphic. All cultivars were clearly differentiated by their AFLP fingerprints. A dendrogram was constructed using the unweighted pair-group method of arithmetic averages, and principal coordinated analysis was carried out to show multiple dimensions of the distribution of the cultivars. The 42 cultivars were divided into three clusters; clusters I and II comprise 18 and 23 cultivars, respectively. Jaccard's similarity coefficients for cultivars in the clusters I and II varied from 0.44 to 0.95 and 0.41 to 0.87, respectively. These results indicate that broadening the genetic variability in the Dieffenbachia gene pool is needed, but the genetic similarity of many cultivars is not as close as previously thought. Additionally, Jaccard's similarity coefficients between most sports or somaclonal variants and their parents were 0.73 or lower, suggesting that accumulation of somatic mutations through tissue culture may play a role in the increased variation between some sports or variants and their parents.

Philodendrons (Philodendron Schott) are among the most popular tropical ornamental foliage plants used for interior decoration. However, limited information is available on the genetic relationships among popular Philodendron species and cultivars. This study analyzed genetic similarity of 43 cultivars across 15 species using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers with near infrared fluorescence labeled primers. Forty-eight EcoR I + 2/Mse I + 3 primer set combinations were screened, from which six primer sets were selected and used in this investigation. Each selected primer set generated 96 to 130 scorable fragments. A total of 664 AFLP fragments were detected, of which 424 (64%) were polymorphic. All cultivars were clearly differentiated by their AFLP fingerprints, and the relationships were analyzed using the unweighted pair-group method of arithmetic average cluster analysis (UPGMA) and principal coordinated analysis (PCA). The 43 cultivars were divided into five clusters. Cluster I comprises eight cultivars with arborescent growth style. Cluster II has only one cultivar, `Goeldii'. There are 16 cultivars in cluster III, and most of them are self-heading interspecific hybrids originated from R.H. McColley's breeding program in Apopka, Fla. Cluster IV contains 13 cultivars that exhibit semi-vining growth style. Cluster V has five cultivars that are true vining in morphology, and they have lowest genetic similarity with philodendrons in other clusters. Cultivated philodendrons are generally genetically diverse except the self-heading hybrids in cluster III that were mainly developed using self-heading and semi-vining species as parents. Seven hybrid cultivars have Jaccard's similarity coefficients of 0.88 or higher, suggesting that future hybrid development needs to select parents with diverse genetic backgrounds.

Genetic relatedness was estimated among 42 U.S. plant introduction (PI) accessions of the genus Citrullus (37 PIs of which were reported to have disease resistance and five watermelon cultivars) using 30 RAPD primers. These primers produced 662 RAPD markers that could be scored with high confidence. Based on these markers, genetic similarity coefficients were calculated, and a dendrogram was constructed using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmatic average (UPGMA). The analysis delineated three major clusters. The first cluster consisted of a group of five watermelon cultivars, a group of C. lanatus var. lanatus accessions and a group of C. lanatus var. lanatus accessions that contained some C. lanatus var. citroides genes. The second cluster consisted of the C. lanatus var. citroides accessions, while the third cluster consisted of the C. colocynthis accessions. The two C. lanatus clusters differentiated from each other and from the C. colocynthis cluster at the level of 58.8% and 38.9% genetic similarity. Our results indicate that closely related Citrullus PIs may have resistances to the same diseases. Thus, molecular markers may be a useful tool in the development of core collections of Citrullus PIs with resistance to diseases.

SummaryCorynespora leaf fall disease (CFLD) caused by the fungus Corynespora casiicola is one of the most important diseases of Hevea brasiliensis.CFLD was reported to cause serious damage on rubber productivity, and the disease has became more apparent in the recent years. The objectives of this study were (i) to analyze genetic similarities among several rubber clones resistance and susceptible to CFLD based on RAPD and AFLP markers, (ii) to compare the effectiveness of RAPD and AFLP markers. DNA genomic was extracted from young leaves of RRIM600, GT1, PB260, RRIC100, BPM1 (belongs to resistance group), PPN2058, PPN2444, and PPN2447 (belongs to susceptible group). Data were analyzed with NTSYS-pc program version 2.10, and a dendogram was created by cluster analysis using the unweighted pair group method on the basis of arithmetic averages (UPGMA). The results show that marker index AFLP (3.57) is higher than RAPD (1.02), it means that AFLP is more effective compared to RAPD. The average of genetic similarity AFLP (0.63) lower than RAPD (0.67) it means that AFLP is more discriminative than RAPD. Dendogram based on AFLP and RAPD were the best with at 0.65 level of genetic similarity cluster divided into two cluster A and B. Cluster A with a sub group A1 consisted of RRIC100, PPN2058 and PPN244 are belongs to resistance group), and sub group A2 consisted of (RRIM600, GT1, BPM1 and PB 260 are belongs to susceptible group), while cluster B only PPN2447 is belong to susceptible group. AFLP analysis show that one AFLP band of 110 bp resulting from PCR amplification using E-ACA/M-CAG (E-ACA/M-CAG110) primer pairs present in resistance clones, but absent in the susceptible clones. Meanwhile, application of 50 random primers decamer in RAPD analysis did not showed the specific band for either one of the group. It is concluded that AFLP marker analysis using EACA/M-CAG primer pair have a potential to differentiate resistance and the susceptible rubber clones to Corynespora. For the confirmation of the results more resistance and susceptible clones are needed for further test. RingkasanPenyakit gugur daun Corynespora (PDGC) yang disebabkan oleh patogen Corynespora asiicola, merupakan salah satu penyakit penting pada tanaman karet (Hevea brasiliensis). PGDC menyebabkan penurunan yang cukup serius terhadap produktivitas tanaman karet. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk (i) mengidentifikasi kesamaan genetik antar beberapa klon yang tergolong tahan dan rentan dengan marka RAPD dan AFLP, dan (ii) mempelajari efektivitas kedua marka tersebut. DNA genomik diekstraksi dari daun muda klon RRIM600, GT1, PB260, BPM1, RRIC100 (tergolong resisten), PPN2058, PPN2444, dan PPN2447 (tergolong rentan ). Data dianalisis dengan NTSYS-pc program versi 2.10. Dendogram dibuat dengan analisis pengelompokan menurut metode Unweighted Pair Group berbasis Arithmetic Avarages (UPGMA). Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa marka indeks AFLP (3,57) lebih tinggi daripada RAPD (1,02), sehingga AFLP lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan RAPD. Rata-rata perkiraan kesamaan genetik AFLP (0,63) sedikit lebih rendah dari RAPD (0,67) sehingga AFLP relatif lebih diskriminatif daripada RAPD. Dendogram berdasarkan integrasi AFLP dan RAPD adalah yang paling baik, dimana pada rata-rata perkiraan kesamaan genetik (0,65) terbentuk dua kelompok yaitu A dan B. Kelompok A terdiri atas sub sub kelompok A1 yang beranggotakan (RRIC100, PPN2058 dan PPN244 yang tergolong resisten), dan sub group A2 yang beranggotakan (RRIM600, GT1, BPM1 dan PB 260 yang tergolong rentan) Sedang kelompok B beranggotakan hanya PN2447 yang tergolong rentan. Analisis AFLP menghasilkan satu pita AFLP dengan menggunakan pasangan primer EACA/M-CG (E-ACA/M-CAG110 ) secara konsisten diperoleh dari klon karet yang resisten, namun tidak ditemukan pada klon yang rentan. Sementara itu, aplikasi 50 primer acak dekamer dalam analisis RAPD tidak menghasilkan pita spesifik untuk kedua kelompok yang diuji. Disimpulkan bahwa analisis AFLP menggunakan pasangan primer EACA/M-CAG berpotensi untuk membedakan klon karet yang resisten dan rentan terhadap Corynespora. Untuk mengkorfirmasi hasil yang diperoleh, perlu dilakukan pengujian terhadap klon-klon yang resisten dalam jumlah yang lebih banyak

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed on 18 accessions belonging to four different species of the genus Ipomoea, including sweetpotato and three related species. Twenty-two out of 30 primers tested revealed polymorphisms among these four species. Eight primers were selected on the basis of the number and repeatability of polymorphism produced. With these, a total of 98 different DNA bands were obtained and 85% of them were polymorphic. Based on the presence/absence of the bands, a genetic similarity among accessions and among species was calculated. Unweighted pair-group method with arithmetical averages (UPGMA) based on the similarity coefficients clearly discriminated these four species. Ipomoea trifida and sweetpotato share more genetic similarity. Ipomoea triloba and I. leucantha fall into another cluster. This study demonstrated that RAPD techniques can be a very useful tool for genotype/accession identification and studying the genetic relationship among genotypes/accessions of sweetpotato and among species of Ipomoea.

Use of AFLP molecular markers for estimating genetic similarity of alfalfa (Medicago sativaL. Sl.)The aim of study was to determine genetic similarity among sixteen alfalfa populations using the AFLP technique. Plant material was selected considering the high genotypic variability. It included populations of different origin: native forms of alfalfa (secondary ecotypes), inbred lines, single hybrids, synthetic populations, varieties and mutants. Analysis was carried out using 10 combinations of primers. It was noticed, that in case of the studied alfalfa populations, the highest polymorphism was obtained using primers with three selective nucleotides. The genetic similarity coefficients were calculated by the method of Nei and Li. Those coefficients were used for the hierarchical grouping of objects by the unweighted pair group method of arithmetic means. Results of the grouping were presented in the form of dendrogram. Values of coefficients ranged from 0.3311 (between the inbred F line and the Ulstar variety) to 0.8076 (between ecotype 27 and the synthetic population Syn 7-3). Dendrogram of genetic similarity obtained in this way did not fully correspond with the known data about the studied populations' origin. Considering the genetic similarity, inbreed line F was the most outlying from the studied populations of alfalfa.

Anthurium is the largest genus in the family Araceae, consisting of about 1000 species. Anthuriums are valued for their colorful spathes and traditionally used as cut flowers. With the introduction of compact cultivars through breeding, a series of container-grown cultivars have been released and widely produced as flowering foliage plants. However, limited information is available about genetic relatedness among these container-grown cultivars. This study analyzed genetic relationships of 58 cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers with near infrared fluorescence labeled primers. Forty-eight EcoR I + 2/Mse I + 3 primer set combinations were screened from which six primer sets were selected and used in this investigation. Each selected primer set generated 94 to 115 scorable fragments. A total of 647 AFLP fragments were detected of which 401 were polymorphic (67%). All cultivars were clearly differentiated by their AFLP finger-prints. A dendrogram was constructed using the unweighted pair-group method of arithmetic averages (UPGMA) technique and a principal coordinated analysis (PCA) was used to analyze the relationships. The 58 cultivars were divided into three clusters; clusters I, II, and III had 40, 10, and 8 cultivars, respectively. Most commonly grown cultivars were positioned in cluster I, where had Jaccard similarity coefficients among them ranged from 0.7 to 0.98. Eighteen of the 40 shared Jaccard similarity coefficient of 0.8 or higher, indicating that genetic diversity for cultivated container-grown Anthurium is needed.

Calathea, the largest genus in the family Marantaceae, is composed of 100 species native to tropical America in moist or swampy forest habitats. Because of their brilliant patterns of leaf color and different textures plus ability to tolerate low light levels, calatheas have been widely produced as ornamental foliage plants for interiorscaping. Thus far, genetic relationships among its species and cultivars have not been documented. This study analyzed the relationships of 34 cultivars across 14 species using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Six EcoR I + 2/Mse I + 3 primer set combinations were used in this investigation. Each selected primer set generated 105 to 136 scorable fragments. A total of 733 AFLP fragments were detected of which 497 were polymorphic (68%). A dendrogram was constructed using the unweighted pair-group method of arithmetic averages (UP-GMA) technique and a principal coordinated analysis (PCOA) was used to analyze the relationships. The 34 cultivars were divided into four clusters. Cluster I had 19 cultivars derived from C. roseo-picta and C. loesnerii with Jaccard's similarity coefficients from 0.74 to 0.97, of which six are somaclonal variants or sports and two cultivars are genetic identical. Only C. kennedeae `Helen' is positioned in cluster II. Cluster III had 10 cultivars across seven species; Jaccard's similarity coefficients among them varied from 0.41 to 0.63. Four species were situated in cluster IV with Jaccard's similarity between 0.27 to 0.41. Results from this study indicate that broadening of genetic diversity is needed for cultivars in cluster I as they are the most commonly grown calatheas but genetically are very close.

Cultivated tomato (L. esculentum L.) germplasm exhibits limited genetic variation compared with wild Lycopersicon species. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to evaluate genetic variation among 74 cultivars, primarily from California, and to fingerprint germplasm to determine if cultivar-specific patterns could be obtained. All 74 cultivars were genotyped using 26 AFLP primer combinations; of the 1092 bands scored, 102 AFLP bands (9.3%) were polymorphic. Pair-wise genetic similarity coefficients (Jaccard and Nei–Li) were calculated. Jaccard coefficients varied from 0.16 to 0.98 among cultivar pairs, and 72% of pair-wise comparisons exceeded 0.5. UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averaging) clustering and principle component analysis revealed four main clusters, I–IV; most modern hybrid cultivars grouped in II, whereas most vintage cultivars grouped in I. Clusters III and IV contained three and two cultivars, respectively. Some groups of cultivars closely related by pedigree exhibited high bootstrap values, but lower values (<50%) were obtained for cluster II and its four subgroups. Unique fingerprints for all 74 cultivars were obtained by a minimum of seven AFLP primer pairs, despite inclusion of some closely related cultivars. This study demonstrated that AFLP markers are effective for obtaining unique fingerprints of, and assessing genetic diversity among, tomato cultivars.Key words: Lycopersicon esculentum, AFLPs, DNA fingerprinting, genetic diversity, phenetic relationships.

Peace Lily

Peace lily (Spathiphyllum Schott) is one of the most popular tropical ornamental foliage plants and is used worldwide for interiorscaping. However, little information is available on the genetic relationships of cultivars. Using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers with near-infrared fluorescence-labeled primers, this study analyzed genetic relatedness of 63 commercial cultivars and breeding lines. Forty-eight EcoRI + 2/MseI + 3 primer set combinations were initially screened, from which six primer sets were selected and used in this investigation. All cultivars were clearly differentiated by their AFLP fingerprints, and the relationships were analyzed using the unweighted pair-group method of arithmetic average cluster analysis (UPGMA). The 63 cultivars were divided into four clusters. All commercial cultivars or breeding lines resulted from crosses of some of the cultivars, a total of 45, were positioned in cluster I with Jaccard's similarity coefficients between 0.61 and 0.88. There was only one cultivar in cluster II. Cluster III contained 16 cultivars; they are either species or breeding lines generated from interspecific hybridization. Cluster IV had one unknown species. This study provides genetic evidence as to why cultivars from cluster I and III are not readily crossable because the Jaccard's similarity coefficient between the two clusters was only 0.35. Results also indicate that commercial cultivars are genetically close. Strategies for increasing genetic diversity of cultivated peace lily should be sought for future breeding efforts.
