Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) commonly also known as gram, Chana, Bengal gram and Garbanzo beans is the second most important pulse crop of the world mainly grown in arid and semi-arid regions. Assessment of genetic variability in the base population is the first step in any breeding programme for selection of genetically divergent parents and their use in the crop improvement programme. In the present investigation 20 genotypes of chickpea were characterized using a specific set of 15 numbers of Sequence tagged microsatellite site (STMS) markers. The number of alleles, allelic distribution and their frequency was estimated and found that the 36 alleles amplified with 15 STMS loci having an average of 2.4 alleles per locus. The number of alleles amplified varied from 1 to 4. The Polymorphic information content value ranged from 0 to 0.965 with an average of 0.373 indicated the considerable efficiency of markers for studying the polymorphism level. All primer showed higher polymorphism among the genotypes except two primers namely, TAA59 and GA105 which were monomorphic in nature. Genetic similarity based on UPGMA clustering the dendrogram grouped the 20 genotypes in three clusters, cluster I, II, III comprised of 2, 4, 14 genotypes, respectively. The maximum similarity was found between genotypes ICRISAT-4183 and ICRISAT- 7722 (0.972). The present study provided an insight of the inter-relationship among the genotypes and highlights the genetic distance by STMS markers. The genetic diversity revealed in this study could be exploited for selective breeding programme of chickpea improvement.

Whole genome sequence in mango offers unprecedented opportunities for genomics assisted crop improvement via enabling access to genome-wide genetic markers. In the present study, simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were predicted from genome sequence of mango. Based on the SSR length (? 50 bp), highly-variable mango SSRs (MSSRs) were sorted. A sub-set of 129 MSSRs was validated on a set of 24 diverse mango genotypes yielding marker validation and polymorphism of 88.96 and 85.27 per cent, respectively. One hundred and ten polymorphic markers were identified for the present set of mango genotypes. Polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.10 to 0.78 and the highest value was observed with MSSR133. The mean PIC value was 0.40 but 33 MSSR markers showed PIC values ? 0.5, suggesting that these markers can efficiently measure genetic diversity and serve for mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in mango. MSSRs data was further used for diversity analysis of mango genotypes belonging to different agro-ecological conditions including chance seedlings, landraces, exotic and indigenous germplasm and hybrids. Cluster analysis using UPGMA of 24 mango genotypes revealed that these MSSRs were informative in diversity analysis and distinguished mango genotypes based on their origin, parentage and embryo types. A novel set of 110 hyper-variable SSR markers have been added to the mango repository depicting usefulness in discriminating closely related mango germplasm and their use in mango improvement programme.

The present study aimed to characterize a subset of 10 selected chickpea accessions (Cicer arietinum L.) using SSR. The result indicated a presence of a total of 59 alleles. The genetic diversity at the 15 microsatellites loci was varied from 0, 32 for TA22 to 0.78 for TA72 and TA117 with an average of 0.66. Polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.27 to 0.74. This study also detected a high significant (P less than 0.01) positive correlation between alleles per locus, gene diversity (H) and polymorphism information content (PIC). In the dendrogram and on the PCoA bi-plots, chickpea genotypes were adjoined according to their geographic origin, type of chickpea (Kabuli/ Desi). Nevertheless, the distribution of the different grouping through the factorial correspondence analysis (AFC) is due to the genetic variability.

El garbanzo (Cicer arietinum L.) es una de las principales leguminosas de grano cultivadas en el mundo. México es de los diez principales productores a nivel mundial con una producción total de 171 mil toneladas de grano. Este cultivo presenta alto nivel de autogamia y de monotonía genética, lo que dificulta la diferenciación de genotipos élite. En este estudio preliminar se evaluó la variabilidad de 57 genotipos de diferentes áreas geográficas mediante caracteres morfológicos y marcadores moleculares tipo RAPD e ISSR. El análisis de correspondencia múltiple mostró que los mayores valores discriminantes fueron el color de la flor azul y semillas grandes y de forma redondeada, pero el agrupamiento respectivo no diferenció a las accesiones, incluyendo las especies silvestres; sin embargo, el análisis UPGMA logró una mejor separación. Los marcadores RAPD aun cuando generaron perfiles de ADN, no fueron informativos, mientras que los ISSR diferenciaron a las 57 accesiones de C. arietinum utilizadas y a la especie silvestre C. reticulatum, lo que los hace buenos candidatos para caracterizar este cultivo. Este estudio sirvió como base para desarrollar otro sistema de marcadores moleculares más eficiente en esta especie.
