Comparative Evaluation of RAPD and AFLP Based Genetic Diversity in Brinjal (Solanum melongena)

The present investigation was carried out with an objective of evaluating genetic diversity in brinjal (Solanum melongena) using DNA markers. A total of 38 brinjal accessions including one wild-species, Solanum sisymbrifolium were characterized using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAP D) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) techniques. Out of 45 primers employed to generate RAPD profiles, reproducible patterns were obtained with 32 primers and 30 (93.7%) of these detected polymorphism. A total of 149 bands were obtained, out of which 108 (72.4%) were polymorphic. AFLP analysis was carried out using four primer combinations. Each of these primers was highly polymorphic. Out of 253 fragments amplified from these four primer combinations, 237 (93.6%) were polymorphic. The extent of pair-wise similarity ranged from 0.264 to 0.946 with a mean of 0.787 in RAPD, in contrast to a range of 0.103 to 0.847 with a mean of 0.434 in AFLP. The wild species clustered separately from the brinjal genotypes. In the dendrogram constructed separately using RAPD and AFLP markers, the brinjal genotypes were grouped into clusters and sub-clusters, and the varieties released by IARI remained together on both the dendrograms. All the 30 RAPD primers in combination and each of the four primer pairs in AFLP could distinguish the brinjal accessions from each other. AFLP was thus found to be more efficient than RAPD in estimation of genetic diversity and differentiation of varieties in brinjal.     

Cleaved AFLP (cAFLP), a modified amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis for cotton

In certain plant species including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. or Gossypium barbadense L.), the level of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is relatively low, limiting its utilization in the development of genome-wide linkage maps. We propose the use of frequent restriction enzymes in combination with AFLP to cleave the AFLP fragments, called cleaved AFLP analysis (cAFLP). Using four Upland cotton genotypes (G. hirsutum) and three Pima cotton (G. barbadense), we demonstrated that cAFLP generated 67% and 132% more polymorphic markers than AFLP in Upland and Pima cotton, respectively. This resulted in 15.5 and 25.5 polymorphic cAFLP markers per AFLP primer combination, as compared to 9.1 and 11.0 polymorphic AFLP. The cAFLP-based genetic similarity (GS) is generally lower than the AFLP-based GS, even though both marker systems are overall congruent. In some cases, cAFLP can better resolve genetic relationships between genotypes, rendering a higher discriminatory power. Given the high-resolution power of capillary-based DNA sequencing system, we further propose that AFLP and cAFLP amplicons from the same primer combination can be pooled as one sample before electrophoresis. The combination produced an average of 18.5 and 31.0 polymorphic markers per primer pair in Upland and Pima cotton, respectively. Using several restriction enzyme combinations before pre-selective amplification in combination with various frequent 4 bp-cutters or 6 bp-cutters after selective amplification, the pooled AFLP and cAFLP will provide unlimited number of polymorphic markers for genome-wide mapping and fingerprinting.     

Genetic structure and diversity analysis revealed by AFLP on different Echinochloa spp. from northwest Turkey

Rice is one of the most economically important cereal crops in the world. The genus Echinochloa is the most competitive and difficult to control weeds in the rice fields. Improving the knowledge on the genetic diversity and structure of Echinochloa spp. can supply crucial information for designing effective management strategies for weed control in rice breeding. In the study, 28 Echinochloa spp. genotypes were subjected to the analysis of genetic diversity using four amplified fragment length polymorphism selective primer combinations. The number of polymorphic fragments per primer combination detected ranged from 28 to 50 bands with an average of 41.5 bands. Average polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.26 in overall primer combinations. E_ACA-M_CAG primer combination showed the highest PIC (0.52) which can be a good candidate primer combination to verify genetic diversity in Echinochloa spp. The unweighted pair-group method of the arithmetic average and principal coordinate analysis showed a clear distinction among the genotypes and the genotypes divided into three clusters in the dendrogram results. A model-based structure analysis revealed the presence of two populations. The accessions were clearly assigned to a single population in which >70 % of their inferred ancestry was derived from one of the model-based populations. However, three genotypes (10.7 %) in the sample were categorized as having admixed ancestry. The study showed that genetic variation and population structure are determined among genotypes collected from different locations. High level of genetic variation in both intra and inter species was detected.     

Diversity and Species Relationship in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum typhoides) and Related Species

Thirteen accessions of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides (L) Leeke) collected from different states of India and eight wild species of the genus Pennisetum across the world were analyzed for genetic diversity using AFLP markers. A combined analysis of eight primer combinations showed 35% polymorphism among P. typhoides accessions while analysis with five primer combinations showed 99% polymorphism among the wild species. The dendrogram constructed for the P. typhoides accessions based on the UPGMA method revealed two major clusters with samples from Gujarat forming a separate cluster from the rest of the samples. Principal component analysis of the same data set revealed similar results with the first principal component accounting for 65% of the total variation. The percentage of rare and common alleles contributing to the diversity in the sample was analyzed using the Shannon Weiner diversity index. The SW index revealed that the samples from Gujarat contributed significantly to the overall diversity among the accessions. Among accessions of each geographical region, considerable variation was revealed by SW index with samples from Tamil Nadu being most polymorphic. The genetic diversity in the accessions could be utilized for future breeding work. The dendrogram constructed for the wild species revealed the extent of genetic diversity among them. Analysis with one primer combination showed P. typhoides being closer to P. mollissimum than to the other analyzed species.     

Assessing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genetic diversity using quality traits, amplified fragment length polymorphisms, simple sequence repeats and proteome analysis

The genetic diversity among 10 Iranian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) genotypes was analysed using 12 quality traits, 320 amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) polymorphic fragments, 491 simple sequence repeats (SSR) alleles and 294 proteome markers. The results revealed that the genotypes differed for quality traits, AFLP, SSR and proteome markers. The average genetic diversity based on quality traits (0.684 with a range of 0.266–0.997) was higher than AFLP (0.502 with a range of 0.328–0.717), SSR (0.503 with a range of 0.409–0.595) and proteome (0.464 with a range of 0.264–0.870) markers. Although there were apparent similarities between the groupings of particular genotypes, the overall correspondence between the distance matrices appeared to be rather low. In this study, the cluster analysis based on AFLP data showed the closest agreement with genotypes’ regions of origin or pedigree information. In addition to the genetic diversity assessment, specific proteins with known function were detected uniquely for the studied genotypes. Our results suggest that the classification based on quality traits and genotypic markers of these wheat genotypes will be useful for wheat breeders to plan crosses for positive traits.     

Genetic diversity in cultivated carioca common beans based on molecular marker analysis

A wide array of molecular markers has been used to investigate the genetic diversity among common bean species. However, the best combination of markers for studying such diversity among common bean cultivars has yet to be determined. Few reports have examined the genetic diversity of the carioca bean, commercially one of the most important common beans in Brazil. In this study, we examined the usefulness of two molecular marker systems (simple sequence repeats - SSRs and amplified fragment length polymorphisms - AFLPs) for assessing the genetic diversity of carioca beans. The amount of information provided by Roger's modified genetic distance was used to analyze SSR data and Jaccards similarity coefficient was used for AFLP data. Seventy SSRs were polymorphic and 20 AFLP primer combinations produced 635 polymorphic bands. Molecular analysis showed that carioca genotypes were quite diverse. AFLPs revealed greater genetic differentiation and variation within the carioca genotypes (Gst = 98% and Fst = 0.83, respectively) than SSRs and provided better resolution for clustering the carioca genotypes. SSRs and AFLPs were both suitable for assessing the genetic diversity of Brazilian carioca genotypes since the number of markers used in each system provided a low coefficient of variation. However, fingerprint profiles were generated faster with AFLPs, making them a better choice for assessing genetic diversity in the carioca germplasm.     

Comparison of RAPD,ISSR, and AFLP Molecular Markers to Reveal and Classify Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) Germplasm Variations

Three different DNA-based techniques, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers, were used for fingerprinting Dactylis glomerata genotypes and for detecting genetic variation between the three different subspecies. In this study, RAPD assays produced 97 bands, of which 40 were polymorphic (41.2%). The ISSR primers amplified 91 bands, and 54 showed polymorphism (59.3%). Finally, the AFLP showed 100 bands, of which 92 were polymorphic (92%). The fragments were scored as present (1) or absent (0), and those readings were entered in a computer file as a binary matrix (one for each marker). Three cluster analyses were performed to express–in the form of dendrograms–the relationships among the genotypes and the genetic variability detected. All DNA-based techniques used were able to amplify all of the genotypes. There were highly significant correlation coefficients between cophenetic matrices based on the genetic distance for the RAPD, ISSR, AFLP, and combined RAPD-ISSR-AFLP data (0.68, 0.78, 0.70, and 0.70, respectively). Two hypotheses were formulated to explain these results; both of them are in agreement with the results obtained using these three types of molecular markers. We conclude that when we study genotypes close related, the analysis of variability could require more than one DNA-based technique; in fact, the genetic variation present in different sources could interfere or combine with the more or less polymorphic ability, as our results showed for RAPD, ISSR and AFLP markers. Our results indicate that AFLP seemed to be the best-suited molecular assay for fingerprinting and assessing genetic relationship among genotypes of Dactylis glomerata.     

Genetic relationship among wild,landraces and cultivars of hazelnut (Corylus avellana) from Portugal revealed through ISSR and AFLP markers

The genus Corylus, a member of the birch family Betulaceae, includes several species that are widely distributed throughout temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. This study assesses the genetic diversity in 26 international cultivars and 32 accessions of Corylus avellana L. from Portugal: 13 wild genotypes and 19 landraces. The genetic relationships among the 58 hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.) were analyzed using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Eighteen ISSR primers and seven AFLP primer pairs generated a total of 570 unambiguous and repeatable bands, respectively, from which 541 (95.03 %) were polymorphic for both markers. Genetic similarity index values ranged from 0.239 for wild types and cultivars to 0.143 for landraces and wild types. The genetic relationships were presented as a Neighbor-Joining method dendrogram and a two-dimensional principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plot. The Neighbor-Joining dendrogram showed three main clusters, and the PCoA analysis has shown to be congruent with the hierarchical analysis. Bayesian analysis clustered all individuals into three groups showing a good separation among wild genotypes, landraces and cultivars. The genetic diversity found on wild genotypes and Portuguese landraces may provide relevant information for the diversity conservation and it will be useful in breeding programs and to identify local selections for preservation.

AFLP-based genetic diversity assessment amongst agronomically important natural and some newly synthesized lines of Brassica juncea

AFLP markers were employed to assess the genetic diversity amongst 21 established natural and nine synthetic varietes and lines of Brassica juncea originating from Asia, Australia, Canada, Eastern Europe and Russia. Six of the synthetics used for diversity studies have been developed recently. Twenty one EcoRI/MseI-based AFLP primer pairs generated a total of 1251 scorable fragments among the 30 genotypes studied, of which 778 bands were polymorphic with an average of 37 polymorphic bands per primer pair. On the basis of the similarity coefficients (F value), cluster analysis was performed using the UPGMA method. The 30 B. juncea lines could be grouped into three distinct clusters. All the Indian, Chinese and previously developed synthetics formed one cluster (cluster A), the recently developed synthetics formed a separate cluster (cluster B) and the lines from Australia, Canada, Eastern Europe and Russia formed the third cluster (cluster C). A majority of the lines were uniquely identified by one or more primer pairs due to the presence or absence of variety specific band(s). Four primer pairs were found to be most informative, since these uniquely identified all the genotypes assayed. These four primer pairs, could therefore be used as fingerprinting primers for varietal identification. Received: 1 November 1999 / Accepted: 8 May 2000     

Genomic diversity among sorghum genotypes with resistance to sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata

Host plant resistance is one of the important components for management of sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata. The levels of resistance in cultivated germplasm are low to moderate, and therefore, it is important to identify sorghum genotypes with diverse mechanisms of resistance based on physico-chemical and or molecular markers. We assessed the genetic diversity of 15 sorghum genotypes with different levels of resistance/susceptibility to shoot fly, A. soccata using 93 sorghum simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs and simultaneously characterized for 15 morpho-biochemical traits associated with shoot fly resistance. Of these 93 SSR primer pairs, amplification products from 79, thought to correspond to single-copy loci distributed across all ten sorghum chromosome pairs, showed good polymorphism across the 15 sorghum genotypes. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values of these 79 SSR markers ranged from 0.06 to 0.86. The Principal Coordinate Analyses (PCoA) and cluster analyses based on dissimilarity matrices derived from SSR based allelic variation (Neighbor-Joining distance) and variation in 15 morpho-biochemical traits (based on Gower??s distance), revealed grouping of most susceptible genotypes in single cluster. The improved breeding lines grouped with resistant or susceptible genotypes, based on shared pedigree. Based on these results, three resistant accessions viz., IS 1054, IS 1057 and IS 4664 were found diverse to IS 18551, which is widely used as shoot fly resistance donor. These diverse sources, after further characterization for resistance mechanisms, can be used in breeding programs for improving shoot fly resistance.

Molecular Analysis of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) Cultivars Using AFLP and STMS Markers

Fifteen AFLP and eighteen STMS primer pairs were employed to reveal genetic diversity and relationship in twenty-one cultivars of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L). Fifteen AFLP primer pairs generated 1804 amplicons, out of which 1732 amplicons (96%) were polymorphic and 600 amplicons (∼33%) were genotype specific. Eighteen polymorphic STMS primer pairs generated 64 amplicons with an average of 3.55 amplicons per primer pair. Polymorphic information content (PIC) varied from 0.52 to 1.0 for STMS markers. The genetic similarity between cultivars varied from 0.30 to 0.85 for AFLP and 0.22 to 0.83 for STMS markers. Dendrogram constructed after combining both AFLP and STMS markers data with Bootstrap analysis, grouped all the cultivars into four clusters. Association of varietal type and flower colour was observed as cultivars E 100Ymu and Nabin (Both Desi type and pink flower) clustered together in the dendrogram.     

Genetic Variability in Pepper (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Capsicum annuum</Emphasis> L.) Estimated by Morphological Data and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Markers

Data on genetic similarity among crop cultivars is of vital importance for the plant breeder. The objectives of this study were to group pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) genotypes into clusters according to their distances as estimated by morphological traits and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers and to assess the relationships between the two. Thirty-nine pepper genotypes obtained from different countries were grown in the greenhouse at University of the Free State, South Africa, during 2001 and 2002 in a randomized complete block design with three replications. A total of 20 different morphological traits were measured and six AFLP primer pairs were used to estimate pairwise genetic distances. Both datasets showed high genetic distances among the different genotypes, indicating high genetic diversity among them. The mean genetic distance among Ethiopian pungent elongated-fruit genotypes, was lower than that between them and the introduced ones. Morphological and AFLP distance estimations generally clustered together genotypes with similar fruit sizes. Significant, positive correlation was observed between morphological and AFLP diversity estimations. The narrow genetic basis among the Ethiopian pungent elongated-fruit cultivars suggests that the pepper breeding program of Ethiopia should focus on enriching its germplasm through local collection and introductions from other parts of the world.     

ATG-anchored AFLP (ATG-AFLP) analysis in cotton

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marker system has had broad applications in biology. However, the anonymous AFLP markers are mainly amplified from non-coding regions, limiting their usefulness as a functional marker system. To take advantages of the traditional AFLP techniques, we propose substitution of a restriction enzyme that recognizes a restriction site containing ATG, called ATG-anchored AFLP (ATG-AFLP) analysis. In this study, we chose NsiI (recognizing ATGCAT) to replace EcoRI in combination with MseI to completely digest genomic DNA. One specific adaptor, one pre-selective primer and six selective amplification primers for the NsiI site were designed for ligation and PCR. Six NsiI and eight MseI primers generated a total of 1,780 ATG-AFLP fragments, of which 750 (42%) were polymorphic among four genotypes from two cultivated cotton species (Upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum and Pima cotton, G. barbadense). The number of ATG-AFLP markers was sufficient to separate the four genotypes into two groups, consistent with their evolutionary and breeding history. Our results also showed that ATG-AFLP generated less number of total and polymorphic fragments per primer combination (2-3 vs. 4-5) than conventional AFLP within Upland cotton. Using a recombination inbred line (RIL) population, 62 polymorphic ATG-AFLP markers were mapped to 19 linkage groups with known chromosome anchored simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Of the nine ATG-AFLP fragments randomly chosen, three were found to be highly homologous to cotton cDNA sequences. An in-silico analysis of cotton and Arabidopsis cDNA confirmed that the ATG-anchored enzyme combination NsiI/MseI did generate more fragments than the EcoRI/MseI combination.     

High-resolution DNA fingerprinting of parthenogenetic root-knot nematodes using AFLP analysis

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis has been used to characterize 15 root-knot nematode populations belonging to the three parthenogenetic species Meloidogyne arenaria , M. incognita and M. javanica. Sixteen primer combinations were used to generate AFLP patterns, with a total number of amplified fragments ranging from 872 to 1087, depending on the population tested. Two kinds of polymorphic DNA fragments could be distinguished: bands amplified in a single genotype, and bands polymorphic between genotypes (i.e. amplified in not all but at least two genotypes). Based on presence/absence of amplified bands and pairwise similarity values, all the populations tested were clustered according to their specific status. Significant intraspecific variation was revealed by AFLP, with DNA fragments polymorphic among populations within each of the three species tested. M. arenaria appeared as the most variable species, while M. javanica was the least polymorphic. Within each specific cluster, no general correlation could be found between genomic similarity and geographical origin of the populations. The results reported here showed the ability of the AFLP procedure to generate markers useful for genetic analysis in root-knot nematodes.     

AFLP linkage map of the Japanese quail Coturnix japonica

The quail is a valuable farm and laboratory animal. Yet molecular information about this species remains scarce. We present here the first genetic linkage map of the Japanese quail. This comprehensive map is based solely on amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. These markers were developed and genotyped in an F2 progeny from a cross between two lines of quail differing in stress reactivity. A total of 432 polymorphic AFLP markers were detected with 24 TaqI/EcoRI primer combinations. On average, 18 markers were produced per primer combination. Two hundred and fifty eight of the polymorphic markers were assigned to 39 autosomal linkage groups plus the ZW sex chromosome linkage groups. The linkage groups range from 2 to 28 markers and from 0.0 to 195.5 cM. The AFLP map covers a total length of 1516 cM, with an average genetic distance between two consecutive markers of 7.6 cM. This AFLP map can be enriched with other marker types, especially mapped chicken genes that will enable to link the maps of both species and make use of the powerful comparative mapping approach. This AFLP map of the Japanese quail already provides an efficient tool for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping.     

AFLP analysis of genetic relationships among aromatic grapevines (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vitis vinifera</Emphasis>)

Genotypic diversity has been detected among aromatic grapevines (Vitis vinifera) by molecular markers (AFLPs). The 22 primer-pairs generated a total of 1,331 bands of which 564 (40%) were polymorphic over all the genotypes. The bootstrap analysis pointed out that a large number of polymorphic bands (200–400) has to be used for a better estimation of the genetic distances among genotypes; 383 polymorphic AFLP bands were used for the cluster and the principal coordinate analyses because they did not present missing data across all the genotypes. The cluster analysis (UPGMA), based on polymorphic AFLP markers, revealed no relationship between the Moscato and Malvasia grapevines. The Malvasias, unlike the Moscatos distinguished by their distinct muscat aroma, have to be considered a more complex group because it includes muscat and non-muscat grapevines. The principal coordinate analysis (PCO) confirmed the pattern of the cluster analysis only for those varieties which presented a low coefficient of dissimilarity, while for the other varieties there was no correspondence between the two analyses. The pattern of aggregation among aromatic grapevines in the cluster and principal coordinate analyses does not support any classification that might include an aromatic grapevine group in V. vinifera. Even though some synonyms and homonyms are present among aromatic grapevines (V. vinifera), genetic diversity exists among genotypes in AFLP markers.Communicated by H.F. Linskens
