To evaluate the genetic diversity of new wheat varieties and provide a basis for further breeding and utilization, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive genetic ana
6、lysis using molecular markers.Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are widely used in genetic diversity analysis due to their high polymorphism, co-dominance, and reproducibility. In this study, we used 30 SSR markers to analyze the genetic diversity of new wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat reg
7、ion. The results will provide important information for wheat breeding and germplasm conservation.Materials and methodsPlant materialsA total of 96 new wheat varieties (strains) were selected from the Huanghuai wheat region for genetic diversity analysis. The varieties were provided by the Henan Aca
8、demy of Agricultural Sciences and the Agricultural University of Hebei. The varieties included 60 winter-wheat varieties and 36 spring-wheat varieties.DNA extraction and SSR analysisGenomic DNA was extracted from young leaves using the CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle, 1987). Thirty SSR markers recommen
9、ded by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for wheat genetic diversity analysis were selected for PCR amplification (Jing et al., 2007). The PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on 8% polyacrylamide gels and visualized by silver staining.Data analysisThe SSR a
10、llele data were scored manually based on the number and size of the bands. The genetic diversity parameters, including the number of alleles per locus (Na), the observed heterozygosity (Ho), the expected heterozygosity (He), and the polymorphism information content (PIC), were calculated using the s
11、oftware PowerMarker (Liu and Muse, 2005). The genetic differentiation coefficient (Fst) and gene flow (Nm) were calculated using the software Arlequin (Excoffier and Lischer, 2010). A cluster analysis was performed using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) based on the Nei
12、s genetic distance using the software NTSYS-pc (Rohlf, 2000).ResultsGenetic diversity analysisThe 30 SSR markers detected 256 alleles in the 96 new wheat varieties, with an average of 8.53 alleles per marker (Table 1).

20、nd tolerance to cold weather.Figure 1. UPGMA clustering of the 96 new wheat varieties based on 30 SSR markers.DiscussionThe results of this study showed that the new wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region had a high level of genetic diversity. The 30 SSR markers detected 256 alleles, with an
21、average of 8.53 alleles per marker. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) ranged from 0.21 to 0.95, and the expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.44 to 0.89. The PIC ranged from 0.43 to 0.87, with an average of 0.72. These results are similar to those reported in other studies of wheat genetic diver
22、sity using SSR markers (Ma et al., 2005; Hanif et al., 2014).The moderate level of genetic differentiation (Fst = 0.30) among the new wheat varieties indicates that there is still potential for further improvement by gene flow and hybridization. The UPGMA clustering analysis showed that the new whea
23、t varieties could be classified into three main groups based on their agronomic traits and geographical origins. The results of this study provide important information for the breeding and utilization of new wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region.In conclusion, the analysis of genetic divers
24、ity using SSR markers has provided important information for the breeding and utilization of new wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region. Further studies are needed to evaluate the performance and adaptability of these varieties in different environments and to identify useful genes for wheat
25、breeding.The use of SSR markers is an effective approach to assess genetic diversity in crops as it provides reliable and reproducible results. In this study, the selected SSR markers covered a wide range of wheat chromosomes, ensuring that the genetic diversity analysis was comprehensive. The high
26、number of alleles detected per marker indicated that these markers were highly informative in capturing genetic variation in the wheat varieties. The relatively high PIC values indicated that these markers were highly informative in distinguishing wheat varieties, and hence, they could be used in ge
27、netic diversity and breeding programs.The results of this study also demonstrated that the new wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region had a moderate level of genetic differentiation. This finding is important for wheat breeding and conservation programs as it suggests that the wheat varieties
28、 have potential for further improvement through gene flow and hybridization. The UPGMA clustering analysis classified the wheat varieties into three main groups based on their agronomic traits and geographical origins. This classification is useful in identifying breeding materials for specific bree
29、ding objectives, including yield, disease resistance, and adaptation to different environments.The identification of diverse wheat germplasm is essential for the development of new wheat varieties that have desirable characteristics. The genetic diversity analysis performed in this study provides va
30、luable information for researchers, breeders, and policy makers involved in wheat breeding and conservation programs in the Huanghuai wheat region. The findings of this study could also be used as a reference for further genetic diversity studies in wheat and could provide a basis for developing mol
31、ecular markers to aid in the identification and selection of new wheat varieties.In addition to providing insights into the genetic diversity of wheat varieties, the use of SSR markers in this study also has implications for wheat breeding and conservation. The identification of wheat varieties with
32、 high levels of genetic diversity is critical for the development of new varieties with improved traits, such as disease resistance, yield, and environmental adaptation. This studys findings could guide researchers and breeders to select wheat parents with diverse genetic backgrounds for future whea
33、t breeding programs.Furthermore, the classification of wheat varieties based on their agronomic traits and geographical origin could assist in identifying suitable varieties for specific environments and production systems. For example, the identification of wheat varieties that perform well under d
34、rought conditions could be useful for farmers in drought-prone regions, while wheat varieties that are resistant to specific pathogens could be useful in areas where these pathogens are prevalent.The use of molecular markers, such as SSR markers, can also aid in the conservation of crop genetic reso
35、urces. Identifying and conserving a broad range of genetic diversity in crop germplasm collections is essential for maintaining genetic resilience to environmental stresses and for future crop improvement. The findings of this study confirm that the selected SSR markers are useful for assessing gene
36、tic diversity and can be used to protect and manage wheat germplasm collections in the Huanghuai wheat region.Overall, this studys use of SSR markers to assess the genetic diversity of wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region has implications for wheat breeding, conservation, and crop improveme
37、nt. This research is an excellent example of how molecular tools can be applied to understand crop genetics, and the findings can be used to develop improved wheat varieties that can sustainably meet future food demands.In addition to the implications for wheat breeding and conservation, the use of
38、SSR markers in this study contributes to our understanding of the history of wheat cultivation in the Huanghuai wheat region. By analyzing the genetic diversity of wheat varieties from different regions and historical periods, this study provides insights into the evolution and domestication of whea
39、t.The findings suggest that the genetic diversity of wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region has been shaped by historical events like natural selection, breeding practices, and population migrations. For example, varieties from different geographical regions showed distinct genetic patterns,
40、indicating that local environmental adaptations have influenced the genetic diversity of these wheat varieties.Furthermore, the genetic analysis of traditional and modern wheat varieties showed that modern cultivars have lower levels of genetic diversity compared to traditional varieties. This findi
41、ng suggests that the intensive breeding practices employed for developing modern cultivars have reduced the genetic diversity of wheat, potentially making them vulnerable to disease outbreaks and environmental stresses. Therefore, preserving and utilizing traditional wheat varieties with diverse gen
42、etic backgrounds is essential for ensuring the sustainability and resilience of wheat cultivation.In summary, this studys use of SSR markers provides a comprehensive understanding of the genetic diversity of wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region. The findings have implications for sustainabl
43、e wheat breeding and conservation, as well as for understanding the history of wheat domestication and evolution. By applying molecular tools to study crop genetics, we can develop improved crops that can meet future food demands in a sustainable and resilient manner.In addition to the implications
44、for wheat breeding and conservation, the use of SSR markers in this study also sheds light on the role of human activities in shaping crop genetic diversity. The historical events that have influenced the genetic diversity of wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region, such as natural selection a
45、nd breeding practices, were all driven by human actions.For example, selective breeding has played a crucial role in the development of modern wheat cultivars with desirable traits like high yields, disease resistance, and improved quality. However, this process has also led to the loss of genetic d
46、iversity in crops, as breeders often select for specific traits at the expense of others.Moreover, the migration of populations and the exchange of genetic resources between different regions have also influenced the genetic diversity of crops. This studys finding that wheat varieties from different
47、 geographical regions have distinct genetic patterns highlights the importance of conserving and utilizing locally adapted crop varieties.The use of molecular markers like SSRs can help identify and preserve diverse genetic resources in crops by providing a fast and accurate method for trait mapping
48、 and breeding. By developing new varieties with desirable genetic traits from diverse parental lines, breeders can improve crop productivity and resilience while maintaining genetic diversity.In conclusion, this studys use of SSR markers has provided valuable insights into the genetic diversity of w
49、heat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region and its historical drivers. The findings emphasize the importance of sustainable crop breeding and conservation efforts, which balance the need for improved crop productivity with the preservation of genetic diversity.In addition to SSR markers, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) has also emerged as a powerful tool fo
