Genetic diversity among Japanese indigenous common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) cultivars as determined from amplified fragment length polymorphism and simple sequence repeat markers and quantitative agronomic traits.

Abstract excerpt

We assessed the genetic diversity in Japanese indigenous common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and investigated the relationships between the genetic diversity and agronomic traits. The average expected intracultivar hetero zygosity was 0.303 for AFLP and 0.819 for SSR. The differentiations among agroecotypes,...
