Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in a Selected Germplasm Collection of 292 Jute Genotypes by Microsatellite (SSR) Markers

Diversity analysis based on agro-morphological traits and microsatellite based markers in global germplasm collections of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.)

“…The FT accessions across globe perhaps shared a large number of alleles hence lead to overlap distribution. The phenomenon may be attributed to germplasm exchange of FT (Banerjee et al, 2012). This widespread distribution of FT accessions also indicating their ability to adopt diverse climatic conditions across globe.…”

“…This suggests considerable gene flow between members of the populations which can be observed in estimates of genetic parameters, pattern of PCoA (Supplementary file 2), Neighbor joining dendrogram (Fig. 9) and may be attributed as a consequence of global germplasm exchange (Banerjee et al, 2012) 4.4. Marker based diversity and population structure analysis Individual morphological (Fig.…”

“…Therefore, these agro-morphological traits need to be augmented by molecular markers for better resolution and more precise characterization. Over the past decades molecular markers especially simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been extensively used with considerable success in several crop species including rice (Das et al, 2013;Nachimuthu et al, 2015), wheat (Chen et al, 2012), pigeon pea (Kumari et al, 2014), peanut (Ren et al, 2014) and jute (Banerjee et al, 2012) for germplasm characterisation, assessment of genetic diversity and population structure analysis since these markers offer many advantages over conventional morphological markers viz., abundant, reproducible, environment and crop stage independent, high polymorphism, hyper variability and co-dominant nature (Parida et al, 2009;Ganopoulos et al, 2011). Moreover, ISSRs (Inter simple sequence repeats) have also been used in many crop species like rice (Al-Turki and Basahi, 2015), chickpea (Rao et al, 2007), mustard (Gohl and Mehta, 2014) and cotton (Liu and Wendel, 2001) for genetic diversity analysis due to their abundance, higher polymorphism, and low cost (Powell et al, 1996).…”

The genetic diversity of leaf vegetable jute mallow (Corchorus spp.): A review

“…In their study, PIC values did not differ significantly in the two species and 596 alleles were detected. In both distance based analysis and structure based analysis, the exotic and indigenous genotypes were in separate groups (Banerjee et al 2012).…”

“…Molecular markers techniques have also been used to detect variation in Corchorus species in which both within and among genotype variation has been observed (Basu et al 2004;Benor et al 2011;Banerjee et al 2012;Ghosh et al 2014). Other markers that have been used to study genetic diversity of Jute mallow include proteins and isozymes.…”
