Genetic characterization of pea (Pisum sativum) germplasm from Turkey using morphological and SSR markers

The need for the conservation of plant genetic resources has been widely accepted. Germplasm characterization and evaluation yield information for more efficient utilization of these valuable resources. The aim of the present study was to characterize the pea germplasm conserved at the Aegean Agricultural Research Institute of Turkey using morphological and simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based molecular approaches.

Genetic characterization of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes from eastern Turkey

G. Sarıkamış, Yaşar, F., Bakır, M., Bakır, M., Kazan, K., and Ergül, A., “Genetic characterization of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes from eastern Turkey”, vol. 8, pp. 880-887, 2009.

Green bean genotypes collected from eastern Turkey were characterized using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and morphological traits. Among 12 SSR markers, 10 produced successful amplifications and revealed DNA polymorphisms that were subsequently used to assess genetic relatedness of the genotypes. Based on the number of alleles generated and the probability of identity values, the most informative SSR loci were PVGLND5, PVMEIG, PV-ag001, and PV-ag004.

Genetic variability of Brazilian Indian landraces of Arachis hypogaea L.

F. O. Freitas, Moretzsohn, M. C., and Valls, J. F. M., “Genetic variability of Brazilian Indian landraces of Arachis hypogaea L.”, vol. 6, pp. 675-684, 2007.

The Kayabi Indians who inhabit the Xingu Indigenous Park, located in West Central Brazil, have grown and managed peanuts for a long time. A great number of landraces are being maintained by these tribes and some of this germplasm has morphological traits that exceed the variation described in the taxonomic literature. Here, we analyzed the genetic variability of these landraces using a set of microsatellite markers. The analysis showed that, in general, the indigenous samples grouped according to the villages where they were collected.
