Evaluation of polymorphism at microsatellite loci of spring durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) varieties and the use of SSR-based analysis in phylogenetic studies

Polymorphism at 28 SSR loci was analyzed and described in 45 cultivars of spring durum wheat created in the former USSR and Russia during the last 80 years. Each cultivar was shown to have a unique allele combination. This allows SSR markers to be used to identify durum wheat varieties. Meanwhile, t...

Summary:Polymorphism at 28 SSR loci was analyzed and described in 45 cultivars of spring durum wheat created in the former USSR and Russia during the last 80 years. Each cultivar was shown to have a unique allele combination. This allows SSR markers to be used to identify durum wheat varieties. Meanwhile, these markers can hardly be used to detect phylogenetic relationships among varieties and to specify their pedigrees, because genetic distances calculated on the basis of these markers do not correlate with the distance calculated by coefficient of parentage.
