“…The major Japanese plum cultivars decent from a few genotypes produced by hybrization between P. salicina, P. simonii Carrière and native North American species. Todays breeding programs are utilizing a fraction of improved cultivars, thus narrowing even further the genetic base (Ilgin et al, 2009).…”

Genetic diversity of the Greek plum germplasm collection was investigated using a combined RAPD and ISSR molecular markers approach. Twenty-six genotypes held at NAGREF-Naoussa were analyzed, producing in total 150 loci, of which 116 were polymorphic. Both techniques were highly informative and had a discrimination power greater than 0.9. RAPD and ISSR dendrograms were fairly correlated. The accessions were clustered according to ploidy and species. All Prunus domestica genotypes were grouped together and showed greater similarity to P. insititia and P. cerasifera genotypes compared to P. salicina, which was found genetically diverged. Bayesian structural analysis revealed significant admixture among genotypes. Greek varieties P. domestica 'Goulina' and ' Asvestochoriou' exhibited a distinctive genetic background, differentiating them from foreign varieties. This feature could make them attractive for breeding programs, since they can increase genetic diversity.

“…Although morphological traits are valuable and useful in differentiation of genotypes, not all are reliable enough because these traits are influenced by environmental factors, plant age, phenological stage and cultivation conditions (Struss et al, 2001). In recent decades, molecular markers have become useful tools for plant fingerprinting, phylogeny studies, gene tagging, linkage mapping and identifying plant genetic relationships (Ilgin et al, 2009).…”

A B S T R A C TPlum seedlings are extensively used as rootstocks for stone fruits except P. cerasus. Genetic diversity in seedlings used for rootstocks might result in variation of scion performance and subsequently non-uniform orchards. This study aimed on investigating variation among several Iranian plum genotypes sampled from seedlings grown for grafting. Thirty-five 3-to 4-year-old seedlings were characterized using 28 quantitative and qualitative traits, as well as 22 RAPD markers. Results of the morphological study revealed remarkable variability in studied traits. Genotypes were separated into three different groups according to their height using cluster analysis performed by Ward's clustering method based on morphological data. Twenty two RAPD primers from 120 screened produced 195 polymorphic reproducible bands (86.75% polymorphism). According to the similarity matrix, the lowest similarity was obtained between the genotype Tansgol (control) and S4-13 and the highest similarity between S11-25 and S11-26. According to the cluster analysis based on Jaccard's similarity coefficients and the UPGMA method at a similarity level of 0.56, the genotypes were divided into six sub-clusters. Significant association between eight morphological traits with RAPD markers was found by marker association analysis done using multiple linear regressions. The application of the methodology in screening elite genotypes is discussed.

“…The genomic studies concerning the fruit species have increased enormously in parallel with a renewed interest in fruit germplasm resources and analysis of their genetic diversity including Prunus genus (Aranzana et al, 2003;Romero et al, 2003;Ilgin et al, 2009;Yilmaz et al, 2009;Wünsch, 2009). For crop improvement studies, researchers generally desire abundant genetic diversity among materials.…”

ABSTRACT. Ten SSR loci, previously developed for Prunus, were analyzed to examine genetic relationships among 23 rootstock candidates for sweet and sour cherries, of the species P. avium, P. cerasus, P. mahaleb, and P. angustifolia. Five genotypes of P. laurocerasus, not used as rootstock, were included in the molecular analysis. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 8 to 12, with a mean of 9, while the number of microsatellite genotypes varied from 8 to 17, indicating that the SSRs were highly informative. The degree of heterozygosity (0.61) was high. Clustering analysis resulted in two main clusters. The first cluster was divided into two subclusters; the first subcluster consisted of P. avium and P. cerasus, and the second subcluster consisted of P. laurocerasus. The second cluster was divided into two subclusters. The first subcluster consisted of P. mahaleb genotypes and the second consisted of P. angustifolia genotypes. The reference rootstocks also clustered with their associated botanical species. Unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean analysis demonstrated that P. laurocerasus 2157 ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 9 (4): 2156-2165 (2010) SSR analysis in Prunus rootstocks genotypes had less genetic variation and that P. avium genotypes were more closely related to P. cerasus. The SSR-based phylogeny was generally consistent with Prunus taxonomy information, suggesting the applicability of SSR analysis for genotyping and phylogenetic studies in the genus Prunus.
