Genetic Dissimilarity

Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae) is a species grown in tropicalcountries and used for biodiesel production. Morphophysiological traits were analyzed to assess the genetic diversity in nine genotypes of J. curcas under deficit water. Seeds of plants from different populations, collected in diferente brazilian regions, were grown under two water regimes (100% and 50% tank capacity). Multivariate analysis was used to characterize genetic diversity. The UPGMA dendrogram built from the genetic distance group indicated the segregation of genotypes into five groups for growth traits and six groups for physiological traits. Then, an principal components analysis was carried out, to evaluate the pattern of character variations and then segregate the characteristics that could distinguish parental genotypes for use in plant breeding. Results showed 65.50% and 56.02% for the two first principal components of growth and physiological traits, respectively. Total root area was the most determining trait for genetic dissimilarity (18.9%) and group formation, followed by plant height (17.9%) and number of leaves (17.6%). On the other hand, stomatal conductance (gs) (24.9%) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) (20.9%) were the most determining physiological traits. The analysis of morphophysiological traits indicated CNPAE-298 and 299 as the most distant genotypes among the plant groups. Under water-limited conditions, total root area, plant height, gs and GPX were the most efficient traits to explain genetic dissimilarity among the genotypes, and for this reason they should be referred as a priority for further studies on genotypes selection in this species.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho, avaliar a eficiência da utilização de diferentes coeficientes de similaridade na estimação da diversidade genética de Jatropha curcas L. utilizando marcadores moleculares ISSR. O DNA genômico foi extraído a partir de folhas jovens de 43 acessos de pinhão-manso. Matrizes de dissimilaridade genética foram obtidas a partir dos coeficientes Baroni, Coincidência Simples, Hamann, Índice II, Índice III, Jaccard, Nei e Li, Ochiai I, Ochiai II, Rogers e Tanimoto e Sokal e Sneath. Os dendrogramas foram construídos utilizando o método UPGMA e comparados mediante os parâmetros de coeficiente de correlação cofenético, estresse e distorção. Foram estimadas as correlações entre os pares de matrizes pelo teste de Mantel. Houve concordância entre as matrizes originais e as matrizes resultantes do processo de agrupamento para todos os coeficientes estudados. Os índices de Jaccard e Nei e Li não diferiram quanto ao ordenamento dos acessos avaliados e permitiram maior discriminação destes, sendo os mais adequados para avaliar a diversidade genética em pinhão-manso baseada em marcadores moleculares ISSR.Palavras-chave: dissimilaridade genética; análise de agrupamento; Jatropha curcas L. SIMILARITY COEFFICIENTS FOR EVALUATION OF GENETIC DIVERSITY IN JATROPHA BY ISSR MARKERS ABSTRACT:The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of using different similarity coefficients in the estimation of Jatropha curcas L. genetic diversity using ISSR molecular markers. Genomic DNA was extracted from young leaves of the 43 jatropha accessions. Genetic dissimilarity matrices were obtained from the Baroni, Simple Matching, Hamann, Index II, Index III, Jaccard, Nei and Li, Ochiai I, Ochiai II, Rogers and Tanimoto and Sokal and Sneath coefficients. The dendrograms were constructed using the UPGMA method and compared using the co-phenetic correlation coefficient, stress and distortion parameters. Correlations between pairs of matrices were estimated by the Mantel test. There was agreement between the original matrices and the matrices resulting from the grouping process for all the studied coefficients. The Jaccard and Nei and Li indices did not differ in terms of the order of the evaluated accessions and allowed for greater discrimination of these, being the most suitable for assessing genetic diversity in physic nut based on ISSR molecular markers.Keywords: genetic dissimilarity; cluster analysis; Jatropha curcas L.

The tropical multiuse tree Jatropha curcas L. (jatropha) is highly promoted as oilseed crop for biodiesel production and for climate change mitigation, but cultivation practices require further research. The objectives of this study were to assess the effects of varying plant spacings (2.0 m × 4 m compared to 1.5 m × 4 m), crop establishment methods (raising plantlets in a nursery prior to planting to the field compared to direct sowing) and genotypes on seed yield, seed quality and plant height, recorded at a dry-subhumid location in Madagascar (Ihosy) and at a humid location in Cameroon (Batchenga). Averaged across treatment variants and genotypes, seed yield and seed oil content were higher at the dry-subhumid site and in particular the narrower spacing reached higher seed yields per unit area than the wider spacing. At the humid site, plant growth was characterized by strong accumulation of biomass. The establishment method tested at the dry-subhumid site showed no significant differences in the recorded parameters. Our results encourage to re-think common practices in jatropha cultivation and underpin the importance of the correct choice of location, genotype and agronomic practices considering the interactions between all factors.

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is a potential biodiesel plant that gained much attention in non-oil production countries. We investigated the ability of the species to cope with water deficit occurring in semi-arid zones like Senegal climatic conditions. The layout of the experiment was a randomized complete blocks design with two factors (level and frequency of irrigation) and 6 repetitions. The trial was conducted from December 2012 to June 2013 in CERAAS/ISRA at Thiès, Senegal. Potted Jatropha seedlings were exposed, after three months under similar well-watered conditions, to three water regimes (100%, 50% and 25% of field capacity, respectively C100, C50 and C25) and two frequency of watering once and twice watering a week(F1 and F2, respectively). The different treatments didn’t affect significantly collar diameter and plant height during the time of the experimentation. Nevertheless, the trend line is up for collar diameter and plant height in well-watered plants. For the same frequency of irrigation, biomass accumulated was high in C100. No difference was found between plants biomass in C25-F1 and C25-F2. For physiological parameters, there are no differences between the treatments at the onset of stress. However, after 2 weeks of stress, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration were affected permanently in treatments C100-F1, C50-F1 and C25-F1 and their values never reached those of plants of C100-F2, 50-F2 and C25-F2. The opposite was noted for leaf temperature. For the same frequency of irrigation, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration were higher in C100 and the opposite occurred for the leaf temperature. These results demonstrate that growth and productivity of Jatropha are significantly affected by water stress conditions. Its need to be watered regularly to maintain physiological functions and biomass production definitely highlights that its growth in semi-arid zones is economically unlikely.
