Investigation of genetic diversity of poplar variety samples (populus l.) based on ssr-markers

Abstract

The object of the research were 28 plants with valuable breeding genotypes of the initial 40-year-old variety-testing cultures of white poplar (Populus alba L.), gray poplar (P. сanescens Sm.), presented by variety of samples of different origins. The purpose of the research was the selection of the most effective microsatellite primers for genetic identification of valuable breeding genotypes of poplar. The selection of high-polymorphic markers was conducted by testing a group of 12 SSR primers.
