Abstract:The development of efficient and low-cost genotyping methods is essential to precise genetic characterization of cultivars. Here, we present a system based on fluorescently labeled universal tail sequence primers (UTSP) to resolve microsatellite (SSR) markers as an alternative for molecular fingerprinting of maize. A set of 20 SSRs using the UTSP presented an average polymorphic information content of 0.84, which provided a probability of random identity ranging from 10 −7 to 10 −14, and a minimum exclusion po… Show more
“…Kozhukhova and Sivolap (2004) differentiated 40 unique molecular patterns of 40 maize genotypes with ten polymorphic SSR loci. In another study, 20 microsatellites revealed unique allelic combinations for 48 commercial maize single-cross hybrids, with a probability of identity ranging from 10 − 14 to 10 − 7 (Ribeiro et al, 2017).…”
The aim of this study was to estimate genetic diversity of 97 modern maize hybrids cultivated in Serbia with 12 microsatellite markers. In total, 89 alleles were detected, with the average of 7.4 alleles per locus. The polymorphic information content ranged from 0.42, for umc1792, to 0.81, for dupssr10, with an average of 0.64. The pairwise relatedness Ritland's values varied between 0.787 and-0.129. Eight markers were sufficient to differentiate hybrids with unique genotypes. A principal coordinate analysis distinguished early and late maturing groups of hybrids, although the observed differentiation between groups was low (Fst = 0.4%). Two markers, bnlg1556 and umc1075, contributed most to the discrimination between early and late genotypes. The values of parameters of molecular genetic diversity were higher in early than in late maturing hybrids, indicating broader genetic basis of the former. A high level of polymorphism of the markers indicates their suitability for fingerprinting.

Local varieties and landraces are traditional crops that have evolved over time through adaptation to their natural and cultural environment. They are presently regarded as a valuable genetic reservoir, given that most of the genetic diversity of domesticated species lies in these and other traditionally used varieties. The 'Platense' tomato landrace is adapted to the local soil and climate of the La Plata horticultural green belt, as a result of the gradual selection of a number of tomato cultivars that were introduced in Argentina towards the end of the nineteenth century following the massive immigration flow, mainly from Europe. In the present study we
