Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relatıonshıps of Turkish Local Popcorn (Zea mays everta) Populations By Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs)

Maize (Zea mays everta) is preferred as a good dietary in Turkey and it important to know its genetic diversity improve the yield. Genetic markers are very determining popcorn populations. The aim of this study was evaluate landraces populations by simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers. A hundred seventy five accessions from thirty grown were analyzed using twenty SSR As result molecular analysis, 65 66 alleles obtained showed polymorphisms polymorphism rate 98.5%. average number for each loci 3.3, varied 1 5. information content (PIC) value calculated be 0.57 locus ranging 0.00 0.89. percentage polymorphic genotypes determined vary between 29/47% 43.94/71.21 % mean values 39.114 59.265 respectively. change phylogenetic tree 0.05, difference among 14.7 97.1%. Among used study, observed that code ‘phi064’ most effective marker highest allele frequency also on obtained.
