M Ahmad Genome 2002. doi:10.1139/g02-028
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The 43 SSR loci yielded 156 allelic variants, two to eight per locus.
- Observation Wheat SSR polymorphic information content ranged from 0.10 to 0.89.
- Observation SSR genetic similarity ranged from 30.1 for Era and Klasic to 90.1 for Neepawa and Thatcher.
- Observation UPGMA analysis yielded three loose groups consistent with pedigree information.
- Observation Two genetically different Era genotypes were identified.
- Observation Other genotypes lacked a close common ancestor indicating close genetic relationships.
- Method / resource Principal coordinate analysis confirmed the genetic diversity pattern.
- Observation The wheat genotypes showed wide genomic diversity and were considered breeding candidates.
