| Primary hexaploid tritipyrum lines are amphiploids between Triticum durum and Thinopyrum bessarabicum, which can set seed in at least 250 mM NaCl. Genetic variation within and among 14 lines of primary tritipyrum were investigated by using 2 random and 6 semi random primers that produced clear and reproducible DNA amplicons. Average values for Nei's gene diversity (h) and Shannon indices (I) were 0.115 and 0.178, respectively. These results indicated low variation within primary tritipyrum lines, probably related to unbiased chromosome and partial aneuploidy. Total genetic diversity (Ht) and gene diversity within lines (Hs) were 0.2114 and 0.1156, respectively. The coefficient of genetic differentiation (Gst) was equal to 0.4534. AMOVA showed highly... |
