Assessment of genetic diversity in accessions of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) using microsatellite (ISSR) markers

چکیده مقاله:
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) are the most economically important species in the genus Pennisetum. Knowledge of genetic diversity of these two species would enhance their potentials for utilization. The present work assessed the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Nigerian and Indian accessions of pearl millet and napier grass using microsatellite markers. We extracted genomic DNA from each accession and carried out Polymerase Chain Reaction using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat markers. Data obtained were analyzed for genetic diversity using MEGA 4.0 software. A total of 48 loci consisting of 410 bands were generated with 56.25% polymorphism. Principal Coordinates analysis revealed three principal axis contributed significantly (70.20%) to the observed variations. Accessions of napier grass from Nigeria and India were plotted on a coordinate plane while pearl millets from both countries co-existed on different quadrants. Cluster analysis, showed that Nigeria and India accessions of napier grass were similar. Consistent link of COM-CO-3 with Nigeria napier grass and millet accessions suggested a common progenitor. The polymorphism obtained in this study showed that ISSR is an effective marker for assessment of genetic diversity and the connection between most accessions indicated that they have common progenitor.

Opportunities for Napier Grass (Pennisetum purpureum) Improvement Using Molecular Genetics
Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) is a fast-growing perennial grass native to Sub-Saharan Africa that is widely grown across the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a multipurpose forage crop, primarily used to feed cattle in cut and carry feeding systems. Characterization and diversity studies on a small collection of Napier grasses have identified a moderate level...

The genus Pennisetum (Richard, 1805) includes two economically important tropical forage plants: Pennisetum purpureum (Schumacher, 1827) (elephant grass), with 2n = 4x = 28 chromosomes and genomes A'A'BB, and Pennisetum glaucum (Linnaeus, 1753) (pearl millet), with 2n = 2x = 14 chromosomes and genomes AA. The genetic proximity between them allows hybrids to be obtained (2n = 3x = 21) that yield...

Current Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. BR. cultivars in Namibia have overall poor performance posing a threat to the nation's food security because this crop is staple for over 70% of the Namibian population. The crop suffers from undesirable production traits such as susceptibility to diseases, low yield, and prolonged reproductive cycle. This study aimed to understand the genetic diversity of the...
