Genetic Relationship among Coriander Genotypes and Cluster Analysis Based on Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR)

摘要

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is grown as seed spice crop all over the world. (Coriandrum sativum L.) also called cilantro, or dhania (in Hindi) is an annual herbaceous crop (Ghobadi et ai, 2012). Present investigation was carried out to explore the molecular characterization in 24 coriander genotypes using Simple Sequence Repeats. Very limited literature is available for molecular studies in coriander it's a need to develop molecular markers for this crop. Development of SSRs (Simple Sequence Repeats) for new crop like coriander is an expensive and time consuming process, but this can be easily achieved by transferring the microsatellite loci from the same family/genus/species which is a cost-effective approach for developing microsatellite markers for new species. Presendy carrot and celery SSRs are available on the public domain for cross-species investigation; both crops are from the same family, Apiaceae.
