Population structure and genetic differentiation analyses reveal high level of diversity and allelic richness in crop wild relatives of AA genome species of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in India.

Abstract excerpt

Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are vital sources of variation for genetic improvement, but their populations are few in genebanks, eroded in natural habitats and inadequately characterized. With a view to explore genetic diversity in CWRs of AA genome rice (Oryza sativa L.) species in India, we analyzed 96 accessions of 10 Oryza species by using 17 quantitative traits and 45 microsatellite markers. The...
