Application of S.S.R. markers for assessment of genetic similarity and genotype identification in local winter wheat breeding program

Abstract

Extrait de l'abstract : "Conclusion. The use of SSR markers made it possible to identify rare alleles within the varieties presented. The study of the genetic similarity of the presented geno­types showed their relationship according to their origin. It was shown that unique alleles tended to occur in certain local breeding genotypes. This study has shown that genotypes representing the local Ukrainian breeding program often have the same allelic variants and at the same time some genotypes have unique allelic variants. The results obtained from the study of 42 winter wheat genotypes based on 11 SSR markers showed that molecular markers can be very useful in assessing genetic similarity and identifying genotypes in the local breeding program."
