Evaluation of gene flow and genetic diversity in rice accessions across Kurdistan region-iraq using SSR markers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, farmers have complained that the only way to obtain seeds is to select plants that show good performance under local climate conditions in the region. This study aimed to investigate the diversity of rice accessions grown in the region to build a breeding program. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 62 accessions of rice from farmers and research stations were collected from the Kurdistan region, including short-grain and long-grain types, for molecular genetics and diversity analysis. In this study, 37 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were selected with several molecular genetics software programs. The results show that these SSR markers are very effective for this investigation, generating a total of 152 observed alleles (Na), 75.166 Effect
