The results of the present study support the idea that, the tested Egyptian barley cultivars could make a useful case study for genetic diversity research. When those cultivars were examined using three distinct markers (codon targeted (SCoT), sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) and inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR)). According to SRAP, ISSR, and SCoT analyses, respectively 85, 76, and 66 polymorphism percentages among the seven tested barley cultivars were detected. The genotype specific markers for each genotype used were determined. The data revealed that Giza127 had the highest number of unique markers, showing six specific SCoT markers, three specific SRAP markers, and one specific ISSR marker. The genetic relationships between the seven Egyptian barley cultivars are explained by the phylogenetic tree built using information gathered from various molecular markers. These gene-based molecular markers demonstrated the reliability of SCoT, ISSR, and SRAP molecular markers for identifying DNA polymorphism levels and genetic relationships in barley.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
