Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism-Based Genetic Relationships Among Weedy Amaranthus Species

Abstract: Weedy Amaranthus species frequently cause economically significant reductions in crop yields. Accurate identification of Amaranthus species is important for efficient weed control, but Amaranthus species can interbreed, which might cause difficulty when identifying hybrid-derived specimens. To determine which of several economically important weedy Amaranthus species are most genetically similar, and thus most likely to produce viable hybrids, we performed amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-based un… Show more

“…However, other evidence suggests that Palmer amaranth may be more closely related to the monoecious spiny amaranth (A. spinosus L.). Palmer amaranth and spiny amaranth have been assigned as sister taxa in AFLP-based phylogenetic analyses (Wassom and Tranel 2005). These species have the same chromosome number of 2n ¼ 34 (Gaines et al 2012;Grant 1959a), similar genome sizes , and they share distinguishing leaf and pollen morphological characteristics (Franssen et al 2001).…”

“…Different molecular markers including random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), simple sequence repeat (SSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (ALFP) have been used for more accurate study of genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships between Amaranthus species (Xu and Sun 2001;Bež o, 2002, 2003;Wassom and Tranel 2005;Lee et al, 2008;Ray et al, 2008;Popa et al, 2010).…”

“…Many molecular markers have been used to analyze diversity, such as restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), simple sequence repeats (SSRs), and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; Bao et al, 2006;Cheng et al, 2011;Feltus et al, 2004;Jin et al, 2010;Li et al, 2012;Liang et al, 1994;Nagaraju et al, 2002;Zhao et al, 2009). Different marker systems have been used to investigate genetic diversity (Tam et al, 2005), and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and SSRs have been applied to study the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among Amaranthus species (Khaing et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2008;Wassom and Tranel, 2005;Xu and Sun, 2001).…”
