Molecular Characterization of Jaboticaba Tree Genotypes Located in the Municipalities of Recôncavo of Bahia

Abstract

ABSTRACT-The jaboticaba tree (Plinia sp.) is a native fruit tree belonging to the Myrtaceae family, which occurs spontaneously throughout Brazil. The estimation of genetic divergence among genotypes of native populations can be useful for conservation and knowledge of available genetic resources, in the formation of gene banks and breeding species. In order to evaluate the genetic diversity of jaboticaba trees identified in the Bahia Reconcavo municipalities, 35 genotypes were characterized by ISSR primers (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats). The 18 primers generated a total of 463 amplicons, and the number of initiator fragments ranged from 14 to 36, with an average of 25.72% and 99.65% polymorphism. Polymorphic information content ranged from 0.13 to 0.33 with a mean of 0.22 and the marker resolution power from 4.34 to 15.77, with an average of 8.67. Multivariate analysis allowed the formation of five groups of genetic divergence, where the longest distance was 0.97 between JCA6 and JSF8 genotypes and the lower of JMT2 and JCA1 (0.11). From the use of ISSR markers it is possible to check the variability between genotypes on the evaluated jaboticaba trees. Index terms: genetic diversity, ISSR, Plinia sp.

Research Article Variability of <i>Myrciaria</i> <i>dubia</i> genotypes (Myrtaceae) in native populations of Roraima state

“…Studies by Goulão and Oliveira (2001) describe that the use of ISSR markers are useful in the identification of cultivars of fruit species that usually present a long juvenile period due to high reproducibility, providing advantages over other methods. The ISSR markers were effective in determining the genetic variability of M. dubia, in the same way as in other studies applied to the family Myrtaceae, as described by Oliveira et al (2014) with Psidium guajava L. (guava), Alves et al (2016) with Myrcia ludiana (Sw.) and Cruz et al (2016) with Plinia cauliflora (Brazilian grape tree). This emphasizes that the use of molecular biology techniques in the evaluation of little studied species, such as M. dubia, allows the selection of genotypes with greater divergence for new studies of backcrossing of the species in a short period of time (Gois et al, 2014).…”

Estudio de la variabilidad genética en accesiones de papa (Solanum tuberosum L.) mediante marcadores SSRs

“…Tres muestras conformaron los grupos C (1991), D (37) reportan en sus investigaciones resultados similares con cultivares diferentes. Por lo tanto, los datos obtenidos sugieren que existe un grado considerable de diversidad genética, y que cada material es útil para ser utilizado en programas de fitomejoramiento.…”

RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) is a molecular marker that allows detection of polymorphism without previous knowledge of genetic sequences, and is commonly used in plant population studies (Ahmed et al 2012;Zhang et al 2013;Tiwari & Shrivastava 2016).…”
