Genetic diversity and distinctness based on morphological and SSR markers in peanut

Abstract: The morphological and molecular diversity of 101 peanut varieties from South China were analyzed to identify distinctness among these varieties. No significant difference was observed for six morphological characteristics whereas a range of 0.25-0.51 of diversity index was observed for 11 morphological characteristics, with an average value of 0.39. Molecular characterization with 40 highly polymorphic simple sequence repeats (SSRs) generated a total of 167 alleles ranging from two to six alleles per marker wi… Show more

“…In this study, only five groups could not be distinguished by the 23 core markers, and the field growing comparison test showed that varieties in each of the five groups were very similar but were still distinguishable by some visually observed or measured characteristic. Molecular markers correlated to a medium extent ( r = 0.53) with morphological characteristics, which was higher than that in a previous study on peanuts (0.347) ( Hong et al., 2021 ), but no functional molecular markers associated with morphological characteristics in non-heading Chinese cabbage were found in this study. Therefore, without enough functional markers, molecular markers cannot completely replace morphological markers, but a combination of both types of markers would be more accurate and efficient in variety identification and in similar variety screening for the distinctness test.…”

“…DUS testing is an important scientific basis for the authorization of new plant varieties. In order to improve the testing efficiency and quality, researchers have conducted in-depth studies on the correlation between molecular distances and phenotypic distances of varieties (Jones et al, 2013;Hong et al, 2021). Earlier reports showed that there was low correlation between phenotypic and molecular distances (Gupta et al, 2018;Guan et al, 2020), which might be related to the low number of Correlation between the molecular and phenotypic distances of varieties based on the Jaccard algorithm.…”

“…However, in comparison with morphological characteristics, molecular markers can be used at various developmental stages and they are not affected by the environment. Moreover, molecular markers are abundant and genetically stable, and they are most widely used for genetic diversity analyses in almost all crops (Hayward et al, 2015;Hong et al, 2021). Molecular markers have diverse applications in breeding programs, such as F1 confirmation, cultivar/hybrid purity testing, DNA finger printing (Gangurde et al, 2017), foreground and background selection (Shasidhar et al, 2020), marker-assisted selection (Cockram et al, 2012;Wagh et al, 2021), and genetic mapping (Dodia et al, 2019;Jadhav et al, 2021).…”

“…Cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the most important leguminous oilseeds and food crops used for high-quality eatable oil and protein [ 1 ]. To date, ~54 million tons of peanuts are produced annually around the world [ 2 , 3 ], but peanut bacterial wilt (PBW) a soil-borne vascular disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum , severely damages worldwide peanut production due to its widespread distribution and high pathogenicity [ 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”
