Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity changes in wheat germplasm have been studied using different molecular markers, but little is known about the impact of plant breeding on the transcribed segments of the wheat genome. The objective of this study was to assess diversity changes in 75 Canadian hard red wheat cultivars released from 1845 to 2004 using 37 EST-derived microsatellite (eSSR) markers. These markers were derived from at...
