Genetic diversity is the source of novel allelic combinations that can be efficiently utilized in any crop improvement program. To facilitate future crop improvement programs in rice, a study was designed to identify the underlying genetic variations in the Sali rice germplasms of Assam using SSR markers. The 129 SSR markers that were used in the study amplified a total of 765 fragments with an average of 5.93 alleles per locus. The Shannon's Information Index was found to be in the range from 0.533 to 1.786. The Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) fell into the range from 0.304 to 0.691 with a mean value of 0.55. The overall FST value was found to be 0.519 that indicated the presence of genetic differentiation amongst the genotypes used in the study. The Sali population was divided into two clusters. The information obtained from the present study will facilitate the genetic improvement of Sali rice cultivars.

Aims: The aim of the study was to determine the genetic diversity of twenty four Boro rice landraces using rice genome specific twelve well known SSR markers. Study Design: Genomic DNA extraction, PCR amplification, Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and data analysis-these steps were followed to perform the research work. Data was analysed with the help of following software; POWERMAKER version 3.25, AlphaEaseFC (Alpha Innotech Corporation) version 4.0. UPGMA dendrogram was constructed using MEGA 5.1 software. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Genetic Resources and Seed Division (GRSD), Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh during the period of November 2017 to March 2018. Methodology: Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers were used to assay 24 landraces of Boro rice collected from the Gene Bank of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI). Results: A total fifty four (54) alleles were detected, out of which forty five (45) polymorphic alleles were identified. The Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) of SSR markers ranged from 0.08 (RM447) to 0.84 (RM206) with an average value of PIC = 0.49. Gene diversity ranges from 0.08 (RM447) to 0.86 (RM206) with an average value of 0.52. The RM206 marker can be considered as the best marker among the studied markers for 24 rice landraces. Dendrogram based on Nei’s genetic distance using Unweighted Pair Group Method of Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) indicated the segregation of 24 genotypes into three main clusters. Conclusion: The result revealed that SSR markers are very effective tools in the study of genetic diversity and genetic relationships and this result can be conveniently used for further molecular diversity analysis of rice genotypes to identify diverse parent for the development of high yielding variety in rice.

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is an economically and ecologically important tree species which is used for pillar construction, honey production and soil improvement. More EST-SSR (Expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeat) markers of black locust can be used as a complement and improvement of Genomic-SSR markers for the identification of the function of gene and the construction of genetic map. Additionally, currently there is no simple method for identifying black locust cultivars. In this study, we obtained 2702 unigenes from 3095 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database to identify simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in R. pseudoacacia samples. A total of 170 SSR loci were found to be distributed in 162 non-redundant sequences with a frequency of 6.29%. Dinucleotide repeats were the most predominant types among microsatellites (62.35%), followed by tri-nucleotide repeats (25.88%); the remaining SSRs accounted for less than 12%. The repeat motifs AG/TC (29.25%) and CT/GA (29.25%) were the most abundant among dinucleotides, and AAT/TTA (15.91%) was the most common among tri-nucleotides. A total of 62 primer pairs were designed to screen polymorphic and stable SSR loci. The resulting 25 EST-SSR markers capable of amplifying polymorphic, stable, and repeatable products. Eight newly developed EST-SSR markers and four published SSR markers were selected for DNA fingerprinting and genetic diversity analysis of the 123 main R. pseudoacacia cultivars in China. The 12 SSR loci amplified 102 alleles, with an average number of alleles per locus of 8.5 (range 4–15). The average polymorphism information content at the 12 SSR loci for the 123 cultivars was 0.670 (range 0.427–0.881). The 123 cultivars clustered into six main groups based on similarity coefficients, with most cultivars in one subgroup. Fingerprinting was performed using eight SSR markers; 110 black locust cultivars were distinguished. The results of this study increase the availability of EST-SSR markers in black locust and make it a simple method for checking the collection, the certification, and the correct attribution of clones and cultivars.
