Genetic diversity of popcorn genotypes using molecular analysis

F. S. Resh, Scapim, C. A., Mangolin, C. A., Machado, M. F. P. S., Amaral, Jr., A. Tdo, Ramos, H. C. C., and Vivas, M., Genetic diversity of popcorn genotypes using molecular analysis, vol. 14, pp. 9829-9840, 2015.

In this study, we analyzed dominant molecular markers to estimate the genetic divergence of 26 popcorn genotypes and evaluate whether using various dissimilarity coefficients with these dominant markers influences the results of cluster analysis. Fifteen random amplification of polymorphic DNA primers produced 157 amplified fragments, of which 65 were monomorphic and 92 were polymorphic. To calculate the genetic distances among the 26 genotypes, the complements of the Jaccard, Dice, and Rogers and Tanimoto similarity coefficients were used.
