Genetic analysis of a CSR10 (indica) × Taraori Basmati F3 population segregating for salt tolerance using ISSR markers

Segregation for salinity tolerance and ISSR markers based molecular polymorphism were investigated in a F₃ plant population raised via single-seed descent method from a cross between salt-tolerant indica rice variety CSR10 and salt-susceptible premium traditional Basmati rice variety Taraori Basmati HBC19. A total of 130 F₃plants were evaluated individually for salinity tolerance on 1–9 scale on the basis of seedling growth parameters; the average score ranged between 1.7 to 8.3. Frequency distribution curve obtained using the salinity tolerance data of F₃ population and a chi-square analysis, showed a good fit to a normal distribution. Eleven plants each in the category of salt-tolerant and salt-susceptible were selected from the segregating F₃ population for ISSR marker analysis. A total of 149 bands (4–11 bands per primer) ranging from 200 to 3530 bp were scored for the two rice varieties and the selected CSR10 × HBC19 segregating F₃ plants using 26 ISSR primers. Of these, 89 were monomorphic and 60 were polymorphic. Of the 60 polymorphic bands,36 and 20 bands were specific to CSR10 andHBC19 respectively. The remaining four bands were amplified using UBC primers 810,848, 853 and 886 and present in only some of the CSR10 × HBC19 F₃ plants. Notably, ISSR primers with dinucleotide repeat motif and 5'-anchored end amplified more number of bands (7.0 bands/primer) compared to3'-anchored dinucleotide primers (5.4bands/primer), but 3'-anchored dinucleotide primers revealed higher level of polymorphism (2.6 polymorphic bands/primer) compared to 5'-anchoreddinucleotide primers (1.43 polymorphic bands/ primer). While distribution of majority of the polymorphic bands were more or less in the expected ratios in salt-tolerant and/or salt-sensitive F₃segregating plants, but some of the bands amplified using UBC ISSR primers 823, 825,826, 849, 853, 864, 866 and 884 showed highly skewed distribution. Such polymorphic bands stand greater chances of having a linkage with the genes/ QTLs for salinity tolerance and shall be the target for further studies.

Analysis of molecular variance and population structure in southern Indian finger millet genotypes using three different molecular markers

The genetic relationship among 42 genotypes of finger millet collected from different geographical regions of southern India was investigated using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR), and simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers. Ten RAPD primers produced 111 polymorphic bands. Five ISSR primers produced a total of 61 bands. Of these, 23 bands were polymorphic. The RAPD and ISSR fingerprints revealed 71.3 and 37.4% polymorphic banding patterns, respectively. Thirty-six SSR primers yielded 83 scorable alleles in which 62 were found to be polymorphic. Out of 36 SSR primers used, 14 primers (46.6%) produced polymorphic bands. The SSR primer UGEP7 produced a maximum number of six alleles. Mean polymorphic information content (PIC) of RAPD, ISSR and SSR were 0.44, 0.28, and 0.14, respectively. Molecular variances among the population were 2, 11, and 1% for RAPD, ISSR, and SSR markers, respectively. SSR produced 99% molecular variance within individuals. RAPD and ISSR markers produced a low level of molecular variance within individuals. The STRUCTURE (model-based program) analysis revealed that the 42 finger millet genotypes could be divided into a maximum of four subpopulations. Based on the Bayesian statistics, each RAPD and SSR marker produced three subpopulations (K=3), while ISSR marker showed four subpopulations (K=4). This study revealed that RAPD and SSR markers could narrow down the analysis of population structure and it may form the basis for finger millet breeding and improvement programs in the future.     

Study of genetic diversity in safflower genotypes using agro-morphological traits and RAPD markers

This research was conducted to study the genetic diversity in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) using agro-morphological traits and RAPD markers. Sixteen selected lines derived from landraces growing in various agro-climatic regions of Iran along with four exotic genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications under field conditions. Days to emergence, days to initial flowering, days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, branches per plant, capitula per plant, seeds per capitulum, 1,000-seed weight, seed yield per plant, seed yield, and reaction to powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica Arnaud) were evaluated in this study. Genetic diversity of the genotypes was assessed by RAPD markers. The results indicated significant differences among genotypes for the agro-morphological traits and clustering based on these traits classified the genotypes into five groups. Analysis of the RAPD markers revealed 15 polymorphic primers out of 50 used primers. Based on RAPD data, the highest genetic similarity was observed between the cultivars of “AC Sunset,” “AC Sterling” from Canada and the lowest relatedness observed between a local breeding line “E₂₄₂₈” and genotype “GE₆₂₉₂₃” from Germany. Cluster analysis based on RAPD markers and 54% coefficient of similarity divided the genotypes into five distinct groups. Comparing the clusters based on agro-morphological traits with those from molecular markers showed slight similarities. The finding of high genetic variation for agro-morphological traits and polymorphism at DNA level reveal that agronomic traits can be improved by selection programs.     

Evaluation of genetic diversity among commercial cultivars, hybrids and local mango (Mangifera indica L.) genotypes of India using cumulative RAPD and ISSR markers

An assessment of genetic diversity studies was undertaken to understand the level and pattern of diversity in 65 mango (Mangifera indica L.) genotypes of India including 20 commercial cultivars, 18 hybrids, 25 local genotypes and two exotic cultivars based on qualitative and quantitative fruit characters as well as RAPD and ISSR profiles. A considerable variation was observed in respect of three important qualitative characters namely table quality, fruit attractiveness and storage life of ripe fruits and potentially superior genotypes for the above traits were identified. A wide variation was noticeable regarding metabolite composition of pulp of ripe mango fruit with respect to total soluble solids, total sugar, reducing sugar, acidity, sugar:acid ratio, ascorbic acid and phenolic content. Fifteen RAPD primers yielded 27 monomorphic and 129 polymorphic bands with percent polymorphism averaging 82.7%. Of a total 70 ISSR bands generated from eight ISSR primers, 60 bands (85.71%) were found to be polymorphic. Cumulative band data from these two methods precisely arranged accessions into eight clusters which correspond well with their pedigree relationship. UPGMA dendrograms drawn using RAPD, ISSR and cumulative data showed highly similar grouping of genotypes on the basis of their parental origin. No clear-cut geographical separation was revealed among East, West, North and South Indian mango cultivars by neither of these molecular markers nor their combinations. This supports the common gene pool origin of mango as well as operation of similar selection pressure as the cultivar preferences in these areas are largely similar.     

The effect of the number of RAPD markers on the evaluation of genotypic distances in Vitis vinifera

The effect of the number of RAPD fragments on the estimation of genetic distances has been studied on 10 genotypes (Vitis vinifera) using 320 primers. A total number of 1683 scorable bands was obtained but only polymorphic bands (932) were considered in this work. The variation of the genetic distances, in relation to an increasing number of bands, was evaluated through a bootstrap sampling procedure. The mean coefficient of variation (CV) of the genetic distances decreased as the number of bands increased. A CV of 10% was obtained with about 100–150 bands while a CV of 5% with a large number of bands (400–500 and over). To reduce the cost and the time of the analyses, primers with different levels of polymorphism were compared. Genetic distance matrices, based on different numbers of bands and primer polymorphism, were highly correlated with the genetic distance matrix of the whole data set when they were determined with a large number of RAPD fragments, either from high or low polymorphic primers. The effect of the number of bands on the estimation of genetic distances was evaluated also through the variation of the pattern of aggregation among genotypes (cluster analysis). Stable clusterings were detected when a large number of polymorphic bands (400 and over) was used. Some rearrangements of the genotypes in the dendrograms was observed as the number of bands decreased; below 100–150 bands the clusterings were completely rearranged.

Fingerprinting temperate <Emphasis Type="Italic">japonica</Emphasis> and tropical <Emphasis Type="Italic">indica</Emphasis> rice genotypes by comparative analysis of DNA markers

This paper describes the relative efficiency of three marker systems, RAPD, ISSR, and AFLP, in terms of fingerprinting 14 rice genotypes consisting of seven temperatejaponica rice cultivars, three indica near-isogenic lines, three indica introgression lines, and one breeding line of japonica type adapted to high-altitude areas of the tropics with cold tolerance genes. Fourteen RAPD, 21 ISSR, and 8 AFLP primers could produce 970 loci, with the highest average number of loci (92.5) generated by AFLP. Although polymorphic bands in the genotypes were detected by all marker assays, the AFLP assay discriminated the genotypes effectively with a robust discriminating power (0.99), followed by ISSR (0.76) and RAPD (0.61). While significant polymorphism was detected among the genotypes of japonica and indica through analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), relatively low polymorphism was detected within the genotypes of japonica rice cultivars. The correlation coefficients of similarity were significant for the three marker systems used, but only the AFLP assay effectively differentiated all tested rice lines. Fingerprinting of backcross-derived resistant progenies using ISSR and AFLP markers easily detected progenies having a maximum rate of recovery for the recurrent parent genome and suggested that our fingerprinting approach adopting the ‘undefined-element-amplifying’ DNA marker system is suitable for incorporating useful alleles from the indica donor genome into the genome of temperate japonica rice cultivars with the least impact of deleterious linkage drag.

Generation and validation of unique male sex-specific sequence tagged sites (STS) marker from diverse genotypes of dioecious Jojoba-Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneider

DNA fingerprinting studies have been carried out with the physiologically mature male and female plants of Jojoba using 80 ISSR primers with a view to generate sex-linked markers. After bulk segregant analysis, two unique ISSR markers, viz. ISSR848₁₅₀₀ and VIS11₁₃₁₇ have been developed which can be used for determining the sex at the seedling stage. Of the eighty primers tested on the pooled male DNA and pooled female DNA samples, six ISSR primers were found to be associated with sex expression. Of the six, only two primers ISSR848 and VIS11 generated unique male sex specific bands of ~1,500 and ~1,300 bp which were consecutively present in all the male genotypes and absent in all the respective female genotypes. The remaining four primers when tried on individuals of different genotypes were confined to their sex specificity in only two female genotypes and absent in their male counterparts. One of the male-sex specific markers, VIS11₁₃₁₇ has also been cloned and sequenced which showed homology with a sex linked gene, DD44 from dioecious Silene species. Furthermore, VIS11₁₃₁₇ was converted into a male sex-specific sequence tagged sites (STS) marker of 584 bp. The male specific STS marker thus developed has been verified and validated on 100 populations of male and female individuals from ten different genotypes of Jojoba to endorse the diagnostic reliability of the STS marker. This can gainfully be employed for screening of sex at seedling stage which would be quite helpful for uprooting the undesired plants, thereby, saving resources like labor, water, fertilizers and space for highly desirable female plants.

Fingerprinting in cucumber and melon (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cucumis</Emphasis> spp.) Genotypes using morphological and ISSR markers

In the present investigation, 13 Cucumis genotypes from different geographical areas of India were screened for genetic diversity using 19 morphological traits and 15 ISSR primers. The analysis of morphological traits grouped the accessions into six clusters. Cluster V contained the maximum number of genotypes namely Kanivellari, Long Green, Andaman Local, Perundurai Local, and Sempatti Local. Clusters I and VI contained the minimum number of genotypes. Among all the characters, the highest mean value was observed in fruit length (23.38) and the lowest mean value was observed in stripes on the blossom end (1.31). The 15 ISSR primers generated 109 polymorphic alleles. The average number of ISSR alleles generated was 8.3 per primer and the level of polymorphism was 87.20%. The ISSR primer UBC 825 was highly informative with a PIC value of 0.8934. The 13 genotypes were grouped into six clusters based on ISSR markers. Cluster III contained the maximum number of genotypes, namely Kanivellari, Sankagiri Local, Perundurai Local, Long Melon, and Sempatti Local, while Clusters I, II, IV, and V (Karur Local, Andaman Local, Edapaddi Local, and N 78, respectively) contained the minimum number of genotypes. The ISSR profile generated genotypes specific allele namely, UBC 812_700bp and UBC 812_1000bp for Cluster VI which contained Cucumis genotypes collected from the northern part of India. Similarly, UBC 808 produced specific allele UBC 808_650bp formed in Cluster III which contained genotypes collected from Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

RAPD variability in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants derived from desiccation-tolerant calli

Genetic modification from selfed progenies of 18 rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants regenerated from callus tissues which survived desiccation, were investigated at the DNA level using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method. Twelve 10-mer random primers were used to amplify DNA of progenies from the regenerated plants, and a total of 228 PCR products and 1780 DNA fragments were obtained by primers, generating between four to thirteen major bands. The size of the amplified fragments ranged from 0.2 to 2.55 kb. The results showed that 10 out of 12 primers produced polymorphic bands, two primers (RA31 and RA185) showed no polymorphism among plants tested. A dendrogram of the genetic distance was constructed based on their polymorphism, demonstrating that somaclonal variation exists in rice plants regenerated from callus which survived the desiccation treatment. Part of this variation can be useful in rice breeding. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Assessment of some barley germplasms based on RAPD analysis and anti-nutritional factors

The variation among some barley germplasm (Giza 123, Giza 127, Giza 130, Desert, and Sinai) was investigated comparatively at the molecular and biochemical levels. Leaf DNAs extracted from different barley germplasm were amplified with randomly chosen primers in a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Only five primers amplified all DNA templates among 15 primers. Primers generated a total of 112 DNA fragments ranged from 1.2 to 0.1 kbp. Out of the 112 fragments, 16 (14.29%) were polymorphic. The result indicated that fragments generated per primer, with an average of 22.4 products, where the number of polymorphic bands per primer, with an average of 3.2 polymorphic bands. In addition, the genetic variation in the anti-nutritional factors and nutrient composition of the same genotypes were determined. A wide variation in total phenolic, phytic, tannin, vicine, and saponin contents was found among these germplasm. The range of total phenolic was 3.83 to 7.50 mg g⁻¹ d.w. Among all germplasm, Desert germplasm was characterized by the highest tannin content. However, saponin ranged between 5.66 mg g⁻¹ d.w. (in Giza 123) to 9.21 mg g⁻¹ d.w (in Sinai) germplasm. The concentrations of the phytic acid were generally low, ranging between 0.99 to 6.78 mg g⁻¹ d.w. The germplasm Desert and Sinai had the highest level of vicine, 1.89 and 1.87 mg g⁻¹ d.w., respectively. The results of the molecular characterization and anti-nutritional content can be used as the starting point needed to identify the valuable Egyptian barley germplasm.
