Rice grain quality is of paramount importance in the consumer preference for rice varieties and therefore the development of rice varieties should match to the consumer preference. Assessment of segregating population of breeding material in rice for quality parameter made it possible by the use of simple sequence repeat(SSR) marker. The F2 mapping population of a cross between a long slender rice genotype VDN 1137-1-1 and a short slender rice landrace Badshabhog was studied for the inheritance of grain length and to identify the marker associated with grain type. The F2 population showed 3:1 ration for long slender to short slender grain type. This segregating population was assessed by 24 SSR markers using bulk segregant analysis. Among these 24 SSR Markers, a marker RM 147 reported polymorphism between the long slender and short slender parents and respective bulks. Genetic analysis indicated goodness of fit for single gene model indicating the association of RM147 with grain length gene in the segregating population. Therefore, SSR marker RM 147 is of immense value in the assessment of grain quality parameter in rice during the development of rice varieties.

The assessment of the genetic diversity within germplasm collections can be accomplished using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and association mapping techniques. The present study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity of a colored rice germplasm collection containing 376 black-purple rice samples and 172 red pericarp samples, conserved by Dong-A University. There were 600 pairs of SSR primers screened against 11 rice varieties. Sixteen informative primer pairs were selected, having high polymorphism information content (PIC) values, which were then used to assess the genetic diversity within the collection. A total of 409 polymorphic amplified fragments were obtained using the 16 SSR markers. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 11 to 47, with an average of 25.6. The average PIC value was 0.913, ranging from 0.855 to 0.964. Four hundred and nine SSR loci were used to calculate Jaccard’s distance coefficients, using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean cluster analysis. These accessions were separated into several distinctive groups corresponding to their morphology. The results provided valuable information for the colored rice breeding program and showed the importance of protecting germplasm resources and the molecular markers that can be derived from them.

<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. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk:1) karakterisasi kakao koleksi Pusat penelitian Kopi dan Kakao Indonesia menggunakan marka SSR dan 2) analisis keragaman genetik klon-klon kakao koleksi dengan menggunakan marka SSR. Dalam penelitian ini, 39 pasangan primer SSR telah digunakan untuk amplifikasi DNA genomik dari 29 klon kakao. Skoring pita SSR hasil amplifikasi menggunakan masing-masing pasangan primer dilakukan secara terpisah dan digunakan untuk menentukan jarak genetik di antara klon kakao yang dievaluasi. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa semua pasangan primer SSR yang digunakan mampu menghasilkan pita DNA hasil amplifikasi (marka SSR) untuk 29 klon kakao yang diuji. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa 34 dari 39 lokus SSR yang dianalisis bersifat polimorfik sedangkan lima primer yang lain bersifat monomorfik. Dari 29 klon kakao yang dievaluasi, telah berhasil diamplifikasi sebanyak 132 alel, dengan kisaran antara 4-8 alel/lokus. Rataan jumlah alel per lokus sebanyak 5,50. Hasil analisis data yang dilakukan juga menunjukkan nilai PIC untuk marka SSR yang digunakan sebesar 0,665. Untuk populasi klon kakao yang dievaluasi, diperoleh nilai rataan heterosigositas pengamatan (Ho) sebesar 0,651 dan rataan diversitas gen (He) sebesar 0,720. Nilai PIC Ho dan He yang didapat tergolong tinggi. Berdasarkan analisis keragaman dengan menggunakan program NTSys, diperoleh hasil 12 klon kakao berada dalam grup pertama (koefisien keragaman&lt;3,75) dan9 klon berada dalam grup kedua, dengan koefisien keragaman &lt; 7,50. Sedangkan klon-klon lainnya mempunyai koefisien keragaman &gt; 7,50. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan analisis data disimpulkan bahwa marka SSR dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis keragaman genetik plasma nutfah kakao. Tingkat polimorfisme yang dihasilkan marka SSR relatif tinggi. Tingkat heterosigositas plasma nutfah kakao koleksi Puslit Kopi dan Kakao Indonesiarelatif tinggi, dan keragaman genetiknyacukup tinggi.</p><p>Kata kunci : Theobroma cacao L, mikrosatelit, marka molekuler, keragaman genetik, heterosigositas</p>

Fig (Ficus carica L.) is a traditional crop in Turkey and widely cultivated around the Mediterranean areas. The gynodioecious fig species is present in two sexual forms, i.e. the domesticated fig (female tree) and the caprifig (male tree). Caprifigs are crucial for high quality fig production and breeding while, the studies on assessment of genetic relationship among caprifigs is limited. The aim of this study was to determine genetic diversity among 45 caprifigs and 2 female figs collected from four provinces in Marmara and Aegean Sea Regions of Turkey using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. In this work, 24 SSR markers were tested, one was monomorphic and the remaining markers amplified 82 alleles. The number of polymorphic alleles per SSR marker ranged from 2 to 7. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) differed from 0.18 to 0.76 and expected heterozygosity (He) ranged between 0.24 and 0.81. The polymorphism information content (PIC) varied from 0.42 to 0.98. A UPGMA analysis based on Dice similarity matrix clustered fig genotypes into two main groups and similarly, STRUCTURE analysis placed fig genotypes into two different gene pools (K=2). Fig genotypes collected from the same region were not clustered together in a group indicating that the fig genotypes did not cluster on the basis of their collection sites. Our results demonstrated that caprifigs and female figs are not genetically distinct and they clustered together in a group. All fig genotypes had distinct SSR marker profiles suggesting that there were no synonyms or homonyms. These results revealed a high genetic variation among fig genotypes and 23 SSR markers were enough to discriminate all fig genotypes analysed in this study demonstrating that SSR marker system is suitable for genetic analysis in figs.
