A method to measure genetic distance between allogamous populations of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) using RAPD molecular markers

Abstract: Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a forage legume of world-wide importance whose both allogamous and autotetraploid nature maximizes the genetic diversity within natural and cultivated populations. This genetic diversity makes difficult the discrimination between two related populations. We analyzed this genetic diversity by screening DNA from individual plants of eight cultivated and natural populations of M. sativa and M.  falcata using the RAPD method. A high level of genetic variation was found within and be… Show more

“…All the bands whether monomorphic or polymorphic were used for similarity calculation in order to avoid over estimation of distance (Gherardi et al 1998). Jaccard's coeffi cient of similarity (Jaccard 1908) was calculated and a dendrogram based on similarity coeffi cient was obtained through unweighted pair group method using arithmetic averages (UPGMA) (Sneath & Sokal 1973) and SHAN clustering.…”

“…Compared to other forage material, the breeding of orchardgrass is hampered by its strong self-incompatibility system and severe inbreeding depression, which makes it difficult to produce inbred lines and construct fingerprinting (Xie et al, 2011). A series of molecule studies indicate that the conventional method of bulking could be effectively used for evaluating the diversity of cross-pollinated forage grass species (Marshall and Brown, 1975;Morell et al, 1995;Ghérardi et al, 1998;Forster et al, 2001;Bolaric et al, 2005), which requires a suitable sample size per population (Marshall and Brown, 1975). Moreover, more than 15 plants per population should be used for allogamous species (Morell et al, 1995).…”

“…Furthermore, for each species and specific marker system, a certain sample size should be tested before conducting a diversity study (Bolaric et al, 2005). For example, a minimum sample size of 40 individuals per populations is required for the characterization of the allogamous tetraploid crop alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) (Ghérardi et al, 1998), while 20 individuals are required for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars (Bolaric et al, 2005). In this report, a sample size of 25 individuals per population was used for orchardgrass, with an average of 0.848, 7.9, and 92.1% for PIC, TB, and P, respectively.…”
