High genetic differentiation among wild populations of alien Medicago sativa in Lithuania

Abstract: Alfalfa (Medicago sativa; =M. sativa ssp. sativa) in Lithuania is sown as albuminous forage for cattle due to favourable climatic condition. Over many generations, alfalfa plants have escaped from cultivation fields into natural ecosystems and established wild populations. We collected and analyzed individuals from seventeen wild populations of M. sativa. Using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analyses, 117 RAPD and 64 ISSR reproducible and highly polymorphic (90.… Show more

“…These correlations were stronger for invasive species (for I. parviflora r = 0.861 at RAPD loci and r = 0.941 at ISSR loci, for I. glandulifera r = 0.893 and r = 875, respectively) and weaker for I. noli-tangere (r = 0.696 at RAPD loci and r = 0.249 at ISSR loci). Significant correlations between genetic and geographic distances at RAPD and ISSR loci were found in other studies of invasive species of the other genera, like Erigeron annuus (Edwards et al, 2006;Patamsytė et al, 2013 a), although insignificant in a case of Medicago sativa, M. falcata (Vyšniauskienė et al, 2013) and Bunias orientalis (Patamsytė et al, 2013 b). Comparisons of genetically close invasive and native plants are of special importance for elucidating mechanisms of spread and forecasting this process (Hejda et al, 2009), prompting theoretically validated methods for eradication.…”

“…Alien species on the way of their expansion might meet congenerous species. Few investigations deal with comparisons of geographically close relatives, local and alien ones like in the cases of genera Atriplex (Mandak, 2003) and Medicago (Vyšniauskienė et al, 2013). …”

“…(Halldén et al, 1994;Riaz et al, 2001;Negi et al, 2004;Hasan et al, 2006). RAPD markers are used for genetic diversity analysis of many plant species (Galović et al, 2006;Vyšniauskienė et al, 2011;Zybartaite et al, 2011;Vyšniauskienė et al, 2013). RAPD markers were used for evaluation of genetic variability in some Brassica species (Dulson et al, 1998;Yu et al, 2005).…”

“…Genetic diversity within and among alfalfa populations have been assessed by using various types of DNA markers: Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) [9][10][11][12], Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) [13,14], Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) [15,16], Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) [17][18][19], Intersimple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) [20] and Sequence Related Amplified Polymorphisms (SRAP) [21,22]. Results of all this research lead to conclusions (i) that alfalfa populations, both wild and cultivated, are highly diverse and (ii) that most genetic variation in alfalfa resides within populations.…”
