Study of genetic diversity in canola (brassica napus l.) Using aflp technique

Authors

Abstract

The AFLP technique was used to investigate genetic diversity and assessing synteny relationships among canola cultivars. A total of 2145 bands were obtained using twenty AFLP primer combinations, which 1058 were polymorphic. Genetic similarity based on Jaccard coefficient ranged from 0.38 to 0.84 with average of 0.61. The dendrogram generated by complete linkage as well as principal coordinate analysis separated the cultivars from each other. Cluster analysis showed that the cultivars could be placed in four groups. These results indicated that the AFLP technique is both efficient and effective tool for determining genetic relationships among canola cultivars.
