Genetic diversity analysis in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) germplasms using RAPD markers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty four apricot genotypes with different geographic origins, maintained in the germplasm collections of Central Institute of Temperate Horticulture, Srinagar, India, were studied by means of RAPD markers. The aim of the study was to determine the genetic relationship amongst genetypes from different eco-geographical regions. Fourty three decamer primers were used in the study. All of them were polymorphic in the set of cultivars studied and allowed every genotype to be unambiguously distinguished. A dendrogram based on UPGMA analysis grouped the 24 genotypes into four main clusters with Jaccard’s similarity coefficient ranging from 0.14 to 0.86 with an average of 0.40. RAPD markers have proved to be an efficient tool for fingerprinting of cultivars and conducting genetic-diversity studies in apricot.

Apricot (Prunus armenica L.), a fruit species of the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus L., is widely distributed in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East, especially in Iran. Suitable climatic conditions for apricot production and its economic importance were the main reasons for its vast area under cultivation and diversity. We studied genetic diversity of eighty three apricot genotypes and...
متن کاملSSR-based molecular analysis of economically important Turkish apricot cultivars.
Turkey is not only the main apricot (Prunus armeniaca) producer and exporter in the world, but it also has a wide variety of apricot germplasms, owing to its close proximity to the centers of apricot origin. However, there is little or no genetic information on many apricot cultivars that are extensively cultivated in Turkey. We examined the genetic relatedness of 25 Turkish and four exotic apr...
متن کاملSRAP based genetic analysis of some apricot cultivars
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is an important fruit species in Turkey with high level of economic value. Sequence related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used for the first time to determine genetic diversity and relationships among Turkish and some foreign apricot cultivars. A total 87 bands were obtained from SRAP analysis and 63 of them (73%) were polymorphic. Similarity values am...

متن کاملAssessment of Iranian Apricot Cultivars Resistant, Susceptible and Mutant to Late Spring Frost
Apricot is grown in a wide range of climatic conditions in Iran, however, it is frequently damaged by late spring frost. In this case, identification of new genotypes tolerant to cold stress is indispensably needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic population and relationships among 27 apricot accessions (Prunus armeniaca) by 30 microsatellite markers and 11 morp...
