چکیده
Introduction Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is one of the most important species of the Lathyrus genus. It has two subspecies : spp. asiaticus Zalk., which has small, coloured seeds, occurring mainly in the continental part of Asia and Africa and spp. europaeus Zalk. with large seeds, occurring predominantly in Central Europe and European Russia. According to Vavilov (8) its genetic centre is in the Mediterranean region. It is utilised for nutritional, fodder and technical purposes. It is undemanding to grow and so has been cultivated predominantly in dry and warm regions of Southern Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor . It is less widespread in Central Europe.

Introduction Knowledge about genetic diversity is a prerequisite of any breeding programme. Inclusion of diverse parents in hybridisation programmes serves the purpose of combining desirable genes in new recombinations. Mahalanobi’s D statistic (7) is a powerful tool in quantifying the degree of divergence at genotypic level. Several workers have used this method to quantify the degree of diver...

Plant breeding researches is based on genetic diversity and evaluation of genetic diversity is also one of the most important steps in introduction of new cultivars. In this study, genetic diversity of 25 grass pea genotypes was studied based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in Khorramabad (Iran). Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for m...

The study of genetic diversity between Lathyrus sativus L. and its relative species may yield fundamental insights into evolutionary history and provide options to meet the challenge of climate changes. 30 SSR loci were employed to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of 283 individuals from wild and domesticated populations from Africa, Europe, Asia and ICARDA. The allele numb...
متن کاملAn RNA Sequencing Transcriptome Analysis of Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) and Development of SSR and KASP Markers
Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L., 2n = 14) has great agronomic potential because of its ability to survive under extreme conditions, such as drought and flood. However, this legume is less investigated because of its sparse genomic resources and very slow breeding process. In this study, 570 million quality-filtered and trimmed cDNA sequence reads with total length of over 82 billion bp were obtai...
