Genetic diversity of cultivated and wild tomatoes revealed by morphological traits and SSR markers

R. Zhou, Wu, Z., Cao, X., and Jiang, F. L., Genetic diversity of cultivated and wild tomatoes revealed by morphological traits and SSR markers, vol. 14, pp. 13868-13879, 2015.

In the current study, morphological traits and molecular markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of 29 cultivated tomatoes, 14 wild tomatoes and seven introgression lines. The three components of the principal component analysis (PCA) explained 78.54% of the total morphological variation in the 50 tomato genotypes assessed. Based on these morphological traits, a three-dimensional PCA plot separated the 50 genotypes into distinct groups, and a dendrogram divided them into six clusters.
