The first report about genetic diversity analysis among endemic wild rhubarb (Rheum ribes L.) populations through iPBS markers

Abstract

Approximately 30% of plant species of Turkey, which is among the richest countries in terms of biodiversity, has been endemic. Wild rhubarb (Rheum ribes L.) is a wild vegetable grows especially in the eastern region of Turkey and is an endemic species.In this study, genetic relationships among 80 wild rhubarb genotypes collected from some regions of Lake Van Basin, which are in the distribution area, were tried to be determined by iPBS marker system. At the same time, a commercial variety of R. rhabarbarum, which is a cultivated species, was used for checkas control. PCR studies were conducted with 23 iPBS primers to determine genetic relationships, and a total of 340 scorable bands were obtained. 100% polymorphism rate was obtained from all primers studied. While the average PIC value was found to be 0.90, the highest value was found to be 0.97 from the primer # 2220. It was determined that the genotypes were divided into 3 basic groups in the dendogram created with UPGMA based on Jaccard similarity coefficient.

Genetic diversity using biochemical, physiological, karyological and molecular markers of Sesamum indicum L

“…Estimating genetic diversity is considered a precursor for crop improvement, giving relevant data for selections and breeding programs ( Pal et al, 2016 ; Erdinc et al, 2021 ; Hasanbegovic et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, it is helping researchers develop new cultivars with desired traits such as yield and quality; genetic resources facilitate the introgression of novel traits required in the production of plants under different climates ( Holmes et al, 2019 ; Park et al, 2021 ).…”

Phytochemical screening, antioxidant, immunomodulatory and analgesic potential of aqueous-ethanolic extracts of Euphorbia prostrata ait. and Crotalaria burhia Buch–Ham

“…Consequently, Medicinal plants are affordable, simple to use, and have fewer adverse effects than current synthetic drugs [ 8 ]. Numerous studies show the fascinating benefits of plant-based medicines used in complementary, alternative, and traditional medicine to cure human ailments [ [9] , [10] , [11] ]. A report from the World Health Organization (WHO) has also recently reported that nearly three-quarters of the global population is currently using herbs and herbal remedies for therapeutic purposes [ 12 ].…”

A comprehensive phytochemical, biological, and toxicological studies of roots and aerial parts of Crotalaria burhia Buch.-Ham: An important medicinal plant

“…Among plants, the study of medicinal plants has gained worldwide attention in recent years. A substantial amount of research demonstrates the intriguing potential of medicinal plants employed in traditional, complementary, and alternative methods of treating human ailments ( Fitzgerald et al, 2020 ; Erdinc et al, 2021 ; Tamer et al, 2021 ). The investigation of medicinal plants as a unique source of enzyme inhibitors, natural antioxidant components, and treatments for a variety of common illnesses has attracted considerable interest ( Phumthum et al, 2018 ).…”
