The Determination of Moleculer Diversity Among Some Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Ecotypes Using RAPD Markers
Abstract :
The relationships among total 76 ecotypes of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), 70 landraces and 6 cultivars, collected in Van and neighboring provinces were investigated. The experiment was established as an augmented design in 2009. In the molecular method, seventeen RAPD primers were used and 106 polymorphic bands were obtained. The genetic distances between the ecotypes were expressed by Euclidean coefficients. The genetic variation among alfalfa ecotypes was examined in 16 groups based on the localities, landraces and check cultivars. The highest genetic variations and polymorphisms were found in Ercis and Gurpinar localities H = 0.179, I = 0.277, H = 0.173, I = 0.267 and 62.26%, 59.43%, respectively. As a result, high genetic diversity was found out among the ecotypes and cultivars of allogamous Medicago sativa L.
