In House Generated SSR markers Reveals Genetic Variation and Population Structure in the Germplasm and Identification of Trait-Specific Markers that Enables Efficient Plant Breeding Program in Moringa (Moringa oleifera)
Abstract:Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves are rich in nutritionally and therapeutically important bioactive compounds. As the knowledge on natural population genetic diversity is a prerequisite for further leaf biomass improvement, the morphological and molecular diversity were assessed among 55 South Indian ecotypes of M. oliefera. Leaf traits such as leaf length, breadth, fresh weight, dry weight and number of leaves were evaluated for morphological diversity and for genetic diversity, a total of 116 Simple Sequence Repe… Show more
