Genetic diversity in Capsicum germplasm based on microsatellite and random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers.

ABSTRACT: A sound knowledge of the genetic diversity among germplasm is vital for strategic germplasm collection, maintenance, conservation and utilisation. Genomic simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMPO) markers were used to analyse diversity and relationships among 48 pepper (Capsicum spp.) genotypes originating from nine countries. These genotypes covered 4 species including 13 germplasm accessions, 30 improved lines of 4 domesticated species and 5 landraces derived from natural interspecific crosses. Out of 106 SSR markers, 25 polymorphic SSR markers (24 %) detected a total of 76 alleles (average, 3.04; range, 2-5). The average polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.69 (range, 0.29-0.92). Seventeen RAMPO markers produced 87 polymorphic fragments with average PIC of 0.63 (range, 0.44-0.81). Dendrograms based on SSRs and RAMPOs generated two clusters. All 38 Capsicum annuum genotypes and an interspecific landrace clustered together, whereas nine non-annuum (three Capsicum frutescens, one Capsicum chinense, one Capsicum baccatum and four interspecific landraces) genotypes clustered separately. Genetic variation within non-annuum genotypes was greater than the C. annuum genotypes. Distinctness of interspecific derivative landraces grown in northeast India was validated; natural crossing between sympatric Capsicum species has been proposed as the mechanism of their origin.

Project description:Camel invokes fascinating chapter of Indian desert history and is integral component of its ecosystem. Camel population has reached a crisis point after three decades of decline (75%) causing major concern to the policy makers. >28% of Indian camel is not yet characterized. It is imperative to describe country's camel germplasm and its existing diversity for designing conservation plan. One such population is Sindhi, distributed along border with Pakistan. Twenty five microsatellite markers being valuable tool for estimating genetic diversity were selected to elucidate genetic variability and relationship of Sindhi with two registered camel breeds of India- Marwari and Kharai. The standard metrics of genomic diversity detected moderate variability in all the three populations. A total of 303 alleles with a mean of 8.116 ± 0.587 alleles per locus were found in total of 143 animals. Sindhi population had intermediate allelic diversity with 8.522 ± 1.063 alleles per locus. Corresponding values in Marwari and Kharai were 8.783 ± 0.962 and 7.043 ± 1.030, respectively. Genetic variability within the breeds was moderate as evidenced by the mean observed heterozygosity of 0.556 ± 0.025. Sindhi camel population harbors higher genetic variability (Ho = 0.594) as compared to the two registered camel breeds (Marwari, 0.543 and Kharai, 0.531). Mean expected heterozygosity under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was higher than the observed values across the three camel groups, indicating deviations from assumptions of this model. In fact, average positive F value of 0.084 to 0.206 reflected heterozygote deficiency in these populations. These Indian camel populations have not experienced serious demographic bottlenecks in the recent past. Differences among populations were medium and accounted for 7.3% of total genetic variability. Distinctness of three camel populations was supported by all the approaches utilized to study genetic relationships such as genetic distances, phylogenetic relationship, correspondence analysis, clustering method based on Bayesian approach and individual assignment. Sindhi camel population was clearly separated from two registered breeds of Indian camel. Results conclude Sindhi to be a separate genepool. Moderate genetic diversity provides an optimistic viewpoint for the survival of severely declining indigenous camel populations with appropriate planning strategies for conserving the existing genetic variation and to avoid any escalation of inbreeding.

Project description:BackgroundIdentification of high resolving DNA-based markers is of paramount importance to unlock the potential of genetic diversity and selection of unique accessions of Capsicum annuum L., within Cross River and Ebonyi States of Nigeria, for breeding and conservation. Therefore, we comparatively explored the effectiveness of start codon targeted (SCoT) and directed amplified minisatellite DNA (DAMD) markers for diversity analysis of the accessions. Fifteen accessions were collected for DNA extraction and amplifications with the markers.ResultsDendrograms from SCoT and DAMD categorized the accessions into five and three genetic groups, respectively, while the principal component analysis identified five genetic clusters, each from the markers. The average values of allele, gene diversity and polymorphic information content detected with SCoT and DAMD demonstrate that the two markers were effective and efficient, especially, SCoT in genetic diversity study of the accessions of pepper. Number of polymorphic loci (NPL) and percentage polymorphic loci (PPL) from SCoT (NPL?=?64, PPL?=?80.00-95.73%) and DAMD (NPL?=?56, PPL?=?53.33-86.67%) were high, but higher in SCoT markers. Other effective genetic parameters (effective number of alleles, Nei's genetic diversity and Shannon's information indices) identified with the two marker systems elucidated the allelic richness, rich genetic diversity within the populations and informative nature of the markers, especially SCoT. The intraspecific genetic diversity, interspecific genetic diversity, and coefficient of differentiation obtained with SCoT and DAMD further exposed the genetic structure with more genetic divergence within than among the populations of the accessions. Estimate of gene flow from the SCoT markers was 3.8375 and 0.6.2042 for the DAMD markers. The estimate of gene flow values from the markers indicated extensiveness with SCoT (Nm?=?3.8375) and extremely extensive with DAMD (Nm?=?6.2042) among the populations.ConclusionThis study shows that SCoT markers may be more useful and informative than DAMD in measuring genetic diversity and differentiation of the accessions of the genus Capsicum. Genetic parameters obtained with SCoT showed that the accessions from Cross River were more genetically diverse than the ones from Ebonyi State. Therefore, SCoT may be a preferred marker in evaluating genetic diversity for improvement and conservation of this spicy crop, C. capsicum.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Currently about 26,000 horses are breeding in Korea and 57.2% (14,776 horses) of them are breeding in Jeju island. According to the statistics published in 2010, the horses breeding in Jeju island are subdivided into Jeju horse (6.1%), Thoroughbred (18.8%) and Halla horse (75.1%). Halla horses are defined as a crossbreed between Jeju and Thoroughbred horses and are used for horse racing, horse riding and horse meat production. However, little research has been conducted on Halla horses because of the perception of crossbreed and people's weighted interest toward Jeju horses. METHOD:Using 17 Microsatellite (MS) Markers recommended by International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG), genomic DNAs were extracted from the hair roots of 3,880 Halla horses breeding in Korea and genetic diversity was identified by genotyping after PCR was performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In average, 10.41 alleles (from 6 alleles in HTG7 to 17 alleles in ASB17) were identified after the analysis using 17 MS Markers. The mean value of Hobs was 0.749 with a range from 0.612(HMS1) to 0.857(ASB2). Also, it was found that Hexp and PIC values were lowest in HMS1 (0.607 and 0.548, respectively), and highest in LEX3(0.859 and 0.843, respectively), and the mean value of Hexp was 0.760 and that of PIC was 0.728. 17 MS markers used in this studies were considered as appropriate markers for the polymorphism analysis of Halla horses. The frequency for the appearance of identical individuals was 5.90?×?10-20 when assumed as random mating population and when assumed as half-sib and full-sib population, frequencies were 4.08?×?10-15 and 3.56?×?10-8, respectively. Based on these results, the 17 MS markers can be used adequately for the Individual Identification and Parentage Verification of Halla horses. Remarkably, allele M and Q of ASB23 marker, G of HMS2 marker, H and L of HTG6 marker, L of HTG7 marker, E of LEX3 marker were the specific alleles unique to Halla horses.
