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.

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.

The goal of this study was to determine the level of genetic diversity and relatedness among 16 strawberry (Fragaria H ananassa Duch.) cultivars and 11 breeding lines developed in Canada, using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. Seventeen primers generated 225 polymorphic ISSR-PCR bands. Cluster analysis by the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) revealed a substantial degree of genetic similarity among the genotypes ranging from 63 to 77% that were in agreement with the principal coordinate (PCO) analysis. Geographical distribution for the place of breeding program explained only 1.4% of total variation as revealed by analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). The ISSR markers detected a sufficient degree of polymorphism to differentiate among strawberry genotypes, making this technology valuable for cultivar identification and for the more efficient choice of parents in current strawberry breeding programs. Key words: Fragaria × ananassa, DNA fingerprinting, multivariate analysis, breeding, genetic similarity

Panax vietnamensis var. langbianensis is a new variety from Lam Vien plateau of Vietnam. In this study, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were employed to investigate the genetic diversity and variability of 115 individuals belonging to two naturally distributed populations of this variety, which classified by habitat. Genetic diversity at the taxon level was high (HeT = 0.284 and PPBT = 97.2 %).   The result showed lightly higher genetic diversity in population in Lac Duong region (HeLD= 0.228 and PPBLD = 81.5 %) as compared to those located in Dam Rong region (HeDR= 0.213 and PPBDR = 79.4 %). The interpopulation gene differentiation was high (GST Total = 0.221) with the genetic distance among populations was DLD-DR = 0.191. Gene flow within populations was Nm = 0.8793. In Lac Duong population, the genetic diversity of older group (HeLD O = 0.233; PPBLD O = 77.1%) was higher than of younger group (HeLD Y = 0.214; PPBLD Y = 72.4 %) and the intergroup gene differentiation was GSTDL = 0.0205 with the genetic distance between these two group was DLD O-Y  = 0.0061 showed the risk of reduction in genetic diversity. In Dam Rong population, the genetic diversity of older group (HeDR O = 0.204; PPBDR O = 75.2 %) was equal to younger group (HeDR Y = 0.209; PPBDR Y = 72.7 %) and the intergroup gene differentiation was GSTDR = 0.0304 with the genetic distance between them was DDR O-Y = 0.01393 showed the stability in genetic diversity. Data for genetic diversity and variation from this study can be used to further investigate and protect this variety for conservation and development purposes and for sustainable exploiting and use of these valuable natural resources.
