Structure and genetic diversity of three Calibrachoa caesia populations by ISSR markers

Calibrachoa caesia is one of thirteen native species of the Calibrachoa Cerv. (ex La Lave & Lexarza) genus, Solanaceae family,growing in Argentina. The genus has a high ornamental value due to the variability that it shows for different genetic characters, including the flower colors. The struct...

Sumario:Calibrachoa caesia is one of thirteen native species of the Calibrachoa Cerv. (ex La Lave & Lexarza) genus, Solanaceae family,growing in Argentina. The genus has a high ornamental value due to the variability that it shows for different genetic characters, including the flower colors. The structure and variation of 29 accessions from three departments in the province of Misiones (Oberá, Guaraní and San Ignacio) were analyzed by ISSR markers. Thirteen ISSR primers produced a reproducible banding pattern, with 652 amplified loci and 97.4% polymorphism value. The polymorphism information content ranged from 0.144 to 0.170 for accessions from San Ignacio and Oberá departments, being the average 0.158, whereas the Shannon Index showed an average of 0.256. The principal coordinate analysis showed that the San Ignacio individuals were more disperse than the Guaraní and Oberá accessions. The AMOVA test for Guaraní, Oberá and San Ignacio populations, showed highest genetic variation within populations (93.59%), meanwhile the Fst coefficient was 0.064, indicating a low to medium differentiation between populations. These results showed a great intrapopulation genetic diversity but no significant difference was detected among San Ignacio, Oberá and Guaraní populations. According to these results, the highly polymorphic level of the 29 analyzed individuals from the three locations represents an important source of genetic variability for future breeding programs.
