Morphological variation, genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra populations from Tunisia

Investigation of resistance using STMS markers against Ascochyta blight in the chickpea varieties

“…Genetic marker-assisted identification of traits related to common diseases is highly preferred in plant breeding applications as it provides accurate results and saves time for screening (Simsek et al, 2020;Jha et al, 2022). Genetic marker systems including Sequence Tagged Microsatellite Site (STMS), Sequence-Tagged Site (STS), Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR), Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Arbitrary Primed-PCR (AP-PCR), Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR), Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), Retrotransposon Microsatellite Amplified Polymorphism (RE-MAP) were developed based on PCR amplification and are commonly employed for a variety of applications such as genome mapping, gene tagging, genetic diversity, phylogenetic analysis and forensic investigations (Kalendar and Schulman, 2006;Filiz et al, 2018;Jenfaoui et al, 2021;Hocaoglu-Ozyigit et al, 2022). Advances in the sequencing of genomes have led to the generation of SNP markers for a variety of applications such as genomewide association studies (GWAS), marker developments, genomic selections, germplasm characterizations (Semagn et al, 2014;Vishwakarma et al, 2019).…”
