Genetic Diversity and Sectional Relationships from an Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of Taiwan Bananas

Molecular evaluation of genetic diversity and relationships of Musa cultivars in Thailand using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers

“…The second main subgroup in cluster II consisted of Musa x paradisiaca (ABB) involving Nam Wa and Hak Muk varieties. This similar hetero-genomic grouping was reported in Musa accessions analyzed with several molecular markers (Rotchanapreeda et al 2016;Chang et al 2017;Arora et al 2018;Wanvisait et al 2019;Boonsrangsom et al 2020;González et al 2021). Besides, associations among 90 Musa cultivars were also resolved by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) (Figure 3B).…”

“…Understanding the diversity and relationships of genetic resources are required as a foundation for the development and sustainability of cultivated production, and the evaluation of genetic diversity provides effective information to maintain and manipulate genetic resources. Presently, the ability to evaluate genetic diversity and the relationships within and between populations using molecular markers has resulted from the rapid development of molecular genetics, and molecular markers have been extensively applied in the assessment of genetic diversity, particularly in Musa cultivars (Rotchanapreeda et al 2016;Swain et al 2016;Chang et al 2017;Silva et al 2017;Arora et al 2018;Bawin et al 2019;Santos et al 2019;Marimuthu et al 2019;Wanvisait et al 2019;Boonsrangsom et al 2020;Saraswathi et al 2020;Wahyudi and Rifliyah 2020;Carracedo et al 2021, González et al 2021Mertens et al 2021). Recently, many new marker techniques have been developed in line with the rapid growth of Musa genomic research (Wahyudi et al 2022;Dehery et al 2022;Premjet et al 2022).…”
