Abstract
This study aimed at a microsatellite marker-based assessment of the genetic variability of 30 accessions of Theobroma cacao selected for resistance to witchesbroom on commercial plantations in the cocoa region of Bahia State and to compare them with traditional sources of resistance to witchesbroom (SCA-6 and IMC-67) and other parents (ICS-1 and SIC-19) used in the breeding program of the Cocoa Research Center (CEPEC). Sixteen pairs of specific primers for microsatellite loci were used, generating 64 alleles. The genetic distance between the analyzed accessions ranged from 0.13 to 0.71 and the heterozygosis levels from 23 to 76%. The cluster analyses grouped 18 accessions (60%) together with SCA-6. Accessions selected on farms for their high levels of resistance to witchesbroom, good agronomic traits, which are genetically distant from SCA-6, have a high potential for the breeding program or even for direct recommendation to farmers.
期刊介绍:
The CBAB – CROP BREEDING AND APPLIED BIOTECHNOLOGY (ISSN 1984-7033) – is the official quarterly journal of the Brazilian Society of Plant Breeding, abbreviated CROP BREED APPL BIOTECHNOL.
It publishes original scientific articles, which contribute to the scientific and technological development of plant breeding and agriculture. Articles should be to do with basic and applied research on improvement of perennial and annual plants, within the fields of genetics, conservation of germplasm, biotechnology, genomics, cytogenetics, experimental statistics, seeds, food quality, biotic and abiotic stress, and correlated areas. The article must be unpublished. Simultaneous submitting to another periodical is ruled out. Authors are held solely responsible for the opinions and ideas expressed, which do not necessarily reflect the view of the Editorial board. However, the Editorial board reserves the right to suggest or ask for any modifications required. The journal adopts the Ithenticate software for identification of plagiarism.
