Angular leaf spot (ALS) caused by Pseudocercospora griseola is a major disease of french bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) worldwide. A good diversity of French bean is present in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India, which is unexplored. The purpose of this study was to identify ALS-resistant accessions among local landraces of French bean in this region. One hundred seventy-six local accessions were collected from different villages of Garhwal, Uttarakhand. All the accessions were screened by four SCAR primers SN02 (Phg-2), SAA19, SM02, SBA16 (Phg-3), one STS primer TGA1.1 (Phg-1) and one SSR primer Pv-at006 (Phg-5). All the accessions were also screened for ALS resistance under field condition in the years 2019 and 2020. The disease-resistant score was recorded on 1–9 scale. After field screening, 48 accessions (19 resistant, 24 moderately resistant and five susceptible) were selected for in-vitro screening under screen house condition. These 46 accessions were artificially inoculated by two different isolates of P. griseola P5 and P9, which are the most virulent pathotype characterized by microbiology lab, College of Forestry, Tehri, Uttarakhand. After in-vitro screening, seven accessions (GFB-25, GFB-26, GFB-30, GFB-32, GFB-93, GFB-97 and GFB-136) were found resistant to both the isolates P5 and P9. The P. griseola-resistant accessions may further be used in future breeding programmes to develop new and more resistant varieties of French bean against ALS.

Camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz), an oilseed crop, belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Two unique features of camelina in comparison with the main oil crops are an adaptation to different environments and also its unique oil composition. The development of doubled haploid plants is one of the essential methods for crop improvement. The study of genetic diversity is an important step in planning crop breeding programmes. This research was conducted to evaluate the genetic variation of 81 camelina doubled haploid lines obtained from 15 crosses by inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The total number of amplified bands was 243, of which 239 bands (98.3%) showed polymorphism. The percentage of polymorphic bands varied between 93.75 and 100. The size of the bands ranged from 50 to 1700 base pairs. The informative ISSRs were identified by estimating marker features: polymorphism information content, effective multiplex ratio, marker index and resolving power. Three markers had higher resolving power values (9.88, 8.5 and 7.46) and were the most informative markers to identify the lines. Cluster analysis based on the complete algorithm divided the lines into five groups, indicating relatively clear configuration from the geographic distribution patterns of the parents of the doubled haploid lines. Principal coordinate analysis classified the 81 camelina doubled haploid lines into six groups. The ISSR markers detected high polymorphism to reveal the genetic variation of camelina lines. The findings of this research, along with the characterization of biochemical traits of the lines, can improve breeding programmes achieve high-yielding camelina varieties with higher and better oil content.

In order to enhance genetic potential of chickpea materials from the National University of Córdoba Breeding Programme and Germplasm collection (Argentina), a study for a comprehensive understanding of the amount and pattern of genetic variation within and between genotypes was carried out by applying a multivariate analysis form single simple repeats (SSR) and morphological data. Molecular data were also used to determine the discriminating power for genotype identification, and to find the optimal primer combination to ensure unambiguous identification. With the analysis of 15 SSR markers on 53 genotypes, a total of 58 alleles were detected with individual values ranging from one to nine alleles per locus. High values of discriminating power (Dj ⩾ 0.7, PIC ⩾ 0.7), and low values of confusion probability (Cj ⩽ 0.23) were obtained for at least four evaluated markers. The combination of TA113 + TA114 + H1B09 + TA106 primers was effective for discriminating the 53 chickpea genotypes with a cumulative confusion probability value (Ck) of 9.60 × 10−4. Except for some exceptions, individual chickpea genotypes within a cluster in the consensus tree were definitely more closely related with each other by the origin or pedigree. The results confirmed that both multivariate data analysis methods, ordination and clustering, were complementary. In most genotypes, discriminant principal component analysis classification was consistent with the original clusters defined by molecular data. Differences in results from molecular and morphological data indicate that they provide complementary and relevant information for establishing genetic relationships among chickpea materials and a better description and interpretation of the available variability in the germplasm collection.

The use of molecular markers is one of the most sensitive, powerful technologies for genetic purity assessment of seed lots. In this study, we aimed to develop a set of insertion and deletion (InDel) markers, through bioinformatics approaches, that may effectively distinguish three representative japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, Nipponbare, Taichung 65 and Zhonghua11. The published whole-genome sequences of these varieties were aligned using BWA-MEM, followed by manual inspection for InDels of more than ten base pairs in size with the tview function of SAMtools. A set of ten InDel markers were thus identified and then validated by PCR in the three japonica rice varieties and their intercross F1 hybrids. Results showed that the InDel markers developed in this study could reliably distinguish these three japonica rice varieties. These molecular markers together with the detection method developed here can be applied to DNA-based genetic purity evaluation in rice breeding.

Chenopodium quinoa W. is a species of South America with an exceptional nutritional content and wide agroclimatological adaptation. It has great genetic and phenotypic variability, however in Colombia there are few genetic improvement programmes that take advantage of its great genetic and productive potential. In Cundinamarca there are some adapted genotypes which have been selected by farmers. We evaluated 36 genotypes of Blanca de Jericó, Blanca Subachoque, Aurora, Púrpura and Tunkahuan from Cundinamarca, using eight ISSR markers. The analysis by the coefficient of Nei-Li at the level of similarity of 0.40 divided the population into three groups according their background genetic and the colour of oxalates. The percentage of polymorphic loci was higher than 90%. The average value of heterozygosity was 0.32, which is low given the selection processes that the evaluated germplasm has undergone. We found moderate genetic differentiation (Fst = 0.23). The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed higher variation (77%) groups than among groups (23%). The results revealed intra-population diversity, which suggests that farmers within their farms should undergo a more rigorous seed selection process. Our results demonstrate that ISSR markers are useful and powerful to assess the genetic relationships, polymorphism and genetic diversity of quinoa cultivars. The genetic characterization results reported in the present study will be promising for guiding the breeding of quinoa seed quality in Colombia.
藜麦(Chenopodium quinoa W.)是南美洲的一种，具有特殊的营养成分和广泛的农业气候适应性。它具有很大的遗传和表型变异性，但在哥伦比亚，利用其巨大的遗传和生产潜力的遗传改良方案很少。在Cundinamarca，农民选择了一些适应的基因型。利用8个ISSR标记，对来自Cundinamarca的Blanca de Jericó、Blanca Subachoque、Aurora、Púrpura和Tunkahuan的36个基因型进行了评价。在相似水平为0.40的Nei-Li系数分析中，根据草酸盐的背景遗传和颜色将群体分为3个群体。多态性位点的比例大于90%。杂合度平均值为0.32，考虑到被评价种质所经历的选择过程，这是一个较低的杂合度。我们发现中度遗传分化(Fst = 0.23)。分子方差(AMOVA)分析显示，组间变异率(23%)高于组间变异率(77%)。结果揭示了种群内的多样性，这表明农民在他们的农场内应该经历一个更严格的种子选择过程。研究结果表明，ISSR标记对藜麦品种的亲缘关系、多态性和遗传多样性的评价是有效的。本研究报告的遗传鉴定结果对指导哥伦比亚藜麦种子品质育种具有重要意义。

Screening of germplasm for specific traits is a continuous pre-breeding process in deriving the drought-tolerant donors required for crop improvement. The study evaluated 17 medium-late duration finger millet genotypes under drought stress (DS) for 28 days during the reproductive stage to identify the traits and genotypes for drought tolerance using different statistical analysis. The photosynthetic rate (by 26.3%), stomatal conductance (by 26.4%), transpiration rate (by 24.8%) and grain yield (by 13.2%) were decreased and found sensitive to DS, but the leaf temperature was increased (4.7%). From the path analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, the mean ear weight and productive tillers were found to contribute to the grain yield significantly under well-watered conditions. While under DS conditions, the mean ear weight, productive tillers and threshing percentage equally contributed to grain yield. Based on the ranking of traits significantly contributing to grain yield, the genotype GE-4683 with a higher mean ear weight (10.65 g) was found superior to the popular variety, GPU-28. The Multiple linear regression equation predicts the possibility to increase the yield of GPU-28 under DS from the existing 360.0 to 459.5 g per square metre (by 29.1%) by the incorporation of three productive tillers instead of the existing two tillers per plant in the MLR equation. An additional 1.0 g of mean ear weight will be able to predict an increased grain yield from 360.0 to 392.0 gm−2, equivalent to 3.60 to 3.92 t/ha (by 9.4%).

Maize is among major field crops which provides food, fodder and various byproducts to the industry. Development of better performing varieties is very important to enhance and strengthen the maize production system. In this study ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) is used to induce genetic variation in maize. Mutant population was derived from two genotypes 100,003 and 100,004. EMS was applied under three different concentrations of 25, 50 and 75 mM. 25 mM was found as an ideal concentration resulting in maximum survival rate. Total 10 SSRs were used in this study, which amplified 28 alleles with average of 2.7 alleles. Analysis of molecular variance showed significant differences present among individuals. Average heterozygosity for mutants derived from 100,003 and 100,004 was 0.58 and 0.53, respectively. UPGMA analysis characterized the mutants into two main and many sub clusters. According to the principal component analysis, PC 1 and 2 contributed to 64.2% variability with eigenvalue greater than 1. Statistics showed maximum coefficients of variance in traits of leaf area, cobb height and plant height. Promising mutants were also identified and recommended for future breeding programme. In conclusion, EMS mutagenesis is an effective technique to develop novel mutants that can be exploited in future breeding programmes.

Theobroma cacao L. (cacao) is an important tropical crop used to produce chocolate. Evolutionary relationships between cultivated and wild cacao genotypes and their genetic diversity are poorly understood. Exploring phylogenetic diversity and spatial patterns of both cultivated and crop wild relatives can improve the knowledge of the evolutionary history of a crop, giving insights into its cultivation, breeding programmes and conservation. This study identifies biodiversity priority areas in Colombia by calculating phylogenetic diversity indices using a set of 87 single nucleotide polymorphism markers. These were sourced from 279 genotypes conserved in the Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria (Agrosavia) germplasm collection. The Caribbean and North Andes areas exhibited the highest phylogenetic diversity and significantly high relative phylogenetic diversity. We propose that those regions where wild cacao occurs should be prioritized as conservation areas. Besides, cacao lineages that have recently diverged and are present in Arauca, Huila and Nariño areas, with significantly low relative phylogenetic diversity, should be prioritized for breeding programmes. The Amazonia genotypes were closer to the root of the phylogenetic tree, suggesting an older origin than those found in the Andes region. Our study highlights the importance of using T. cacao germplasm from the Amazonia region as a priority to recover relict diversity in breeding programmes and broaden the gene pool of modern cultivated cacao.
可可是一种重要的热带作物，用于生产巧克力。栽培可可和野生可可基因型及其遗传多样性之间的进化关系尚不清楚。探索栽培和作物野生近缘种的系统发育多样性和空间格局，可以提高对作物进化史的认识，为其栽培、育种计划和保护提供见解。本研究利用87个单核苷酸多态性标记计算系统发育多样性指数，确定了哥伦比亚生物多样性优先区。这些基因型来自Corporación columbiana de Investigación Agropecuaria (Agrosavia)种质收集中保存的279个基因型。加勒比和北安第斯山脉地区系统发育多样性最高，相对系统发育多样性显著较高。我们建议将野生可可生长的地区作为优先保护区。此外，在阿劳卡、韦拉和Nariño地区最近出现分化的可可谱系，相对系统发育多样性明显较低，应优先考虑育种计划。亚马逊地区的基因型更接近系统发育树的根部，表明其起源比在安第斯地区发现的更古老。我们的研究强调了利用亚马逊地区的T.可可种质资源作为恢复育种计划中残余多样性和扩大现代栽培可可基因库的重要性。

(cacao) is an important tropical crop used to produce chocolate. Evolutionary relationships between cultivated and wild cacao genotypes and their genetic diversity are poorly understood. Exploring phylogenetic diversity and spatial patterns of both cultivated and crop wild relatives can improve the knowledge of the evolutionary history of a crop, giving insights into its cultivation, breeding programmes and conservation. This study identifies biodiversity priority areas in Colombia by calculating phylogenetic diversity indices using a set of 87 single nucleotide polymorphism markers. These were sourced from 279 genotypes conserved in the Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria (Agrosavia) germplasm collection. The Caribbean and North Andes areas exhibited the highest phylogenetic diversity and significantly high relative phylogenetic diversity. We propose that those regions where wild cacao occurs should be prioritized as conservation areas. Besides, cacao lineages that have recently diverged and are present in Arauca, Huila and Nariño areas, with significantly low relative phylogenetic diversity, should be prioritized for breeding programmes. The Amazonia genotypes were closer to the root of the phylogenetic tree, suggesting an older origin than those found in the Andes region.

Crop germplasm conserved in genebanks, are a fundamental resource of genetic diversity for crop improvement activities, underpinning future food security and sustainable agricultural practices. However, taxonomic errors in genebank germplasm (due to misclassification, contamination and poor data collation) restrict the effective use of this material for correct purpose. Earlier studies investigating species genetic diversity using genebank germplasm, have shown varying levels of taxonomic error within the Brassica species. In response to this reported taxonomic error of global collections, together with the availability of a multiplex PCR (MPCR) marker, targeting the specific chromosomes (A, B and C) of the six Brassica species in U's triangle, this study was undertaken to confirm the taxonomic identity of accessions within the Australian Grains Genebank's (AGG) long-term Brassica collection. A total of 5161 accessions were analysed with MPCR for taxonomic identification, of which, 4842 (93.8%) were confirmed to be consistent (correct) with their labelled taxonomy, while the remaining 319 (6.2%) were identified as taxonomically inconsistent (in-error). Through the evaluation of earlier regeneration and original seed of the error accessions with MPCR, we determined that 80.9% of the taxonomic errors were traced back to the original seed, while 19.1% of errors were the result of genebank seed regeneration handling practices. Results from this study directly enhance information of the AGG Brassica collection and shape directions for distribution, acquisition and regeneration practices within the AGG and potentially other global genebanks, which will facilitate in a more effective use of these valuable genetic resources by researchers and breeders.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important grain legumes after common bean. In the present study, a total of 35 chickpea genotypes including desi and Kabuli types of cultivated chickpea (C. arietinum) were evaluated for seed physical characteristics that are very important for seed storage, processing and determining seed quality traits. Therefore, it has become imperative to study the seed physical characteristics of chickpea during the present study. The analysis of data revealed that substantial variation is present among the genotypes under study with respect to seed physical characteristics such as seed size, seed volume, seed density, hydration capacity, hydration index, swelling capacity and swelling index. These traits are considered important to determine the seed rate at the time of sowing of the crop, cooking quality, storage and processing and thereby have a direct bearing on the economics of chickpea consumption. Our results indicated that the desi, Kabuli and pea-shaped genotypes differ significantly in seed physical characteristics with overall superior trait performance of the Kabuli type compared to other seed types, making them superior with respect to consumer/market demands.
