Comparative Assessment Of Genetic Polymorphism Of Sugar Beet Genotypes Based On RAPD And ISSR Analysis

The genetic diversity of 42 sugar beet accessions of diverse origin was studied using RAPD and ISSR markers. RAPD and ISSR DNA profiles revealed high polymorphism degree of DNA fragments among tested genotypes. Genetic similarity and distance among accessions was calculated according to Jaccard and Nei coefficients. The similarity and distance coefficients were then used to construct a dendrogram using the UPGMA cluster analysis. Correlation between two matrices was determined based on Mantel test, correlation coefficient (r) was found as r=0.1902
