Summary: In this study, molecular diversity analysis was performed on 138 Acorus calamus accessions from Northeast India using SSR markers. The results showed a high level of polymorphism, with 186 polymorphic alleles identified. AMOVA analysis revealed significant genetic variations within and among populations, and three genetically diverse populations were identified through dendrogram analysis and principal component analysis. This is the first report on the molecular diversity of A. calamus using SSR markers, and it has important implications for crop improvement, conservation, and elite genotype identification.

Summary: Genetic diversity and structure of 955 Akebia trifoliata germplasms were assessed using 28 SSR markers, revealing moderate polymorphism and weak genetic structure. Specific characters could completely distinguish the germplasms, and a core collection of 164 germplasms was identified with significantly different diversity parameters compared to a random core collection. These findings have implications for germplasm conservation and utilization.

Summary: The present study investigated the genetic diversity among wild cannabis accessions in the North Indian Himalayas using phytochemical and molecular genotyping. Significant genetic differentiation was observed among the studied populations, and the major cannabinoids in Indian Cannabis sativa germplasm were identified. Results showed that SCoT and CBDP markers are ideal for studying the genetic relationship among geographically different populations of C.sativa, and highly diverse populations can be used in Indian cannabis breeding programs.

Summary: The study introduces the characteristics and resistance of colonial bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris) to fungal disease and water-deficit stress, as well as the possibility of hybridization with creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). Through genetic marker screening, limited genetic diversity was found among nine colonial bentgrass cultivars and one creeping bentgrass cultivar. These genetic markers may be useful for selecting genotypes with enhanced interspecific hybridization potential.

Summary: This study investigated the morphological traits and genetic diversity of wild hops in the Calabria region of South Italy. Cone length showed significant variation among different populations, while cone shape was the most discriminant trait. Genetic diversity analysis using eight SSR markers revealed high genetic variability in Calabria, and genetic structure analysis identified two distinct groups regardless of the sampling sites. Further research will be conducted to explore other wild hops populations in Calabria and identify specific alleles for new breeding programs.

Summary: The study genotyped 161 Japanese plum-type accessions using SSR markers, detecting 104 alleles with an average of 13 alleles per locus. The results showed a strong correlation of population structure to the parentage background of the accessions and moderate but highly significant genetic differentiation. This information is valuable for breeders and germplasm preservation.

Summary: Camels are essential animals for agricultural production in desert areas of China, as they have a high tolerance to hunger, thirst, cold, and drought, as well as the ability to travel over long distances. In light of the severe reduction in Bactrian camel germplasm resources, it is crucial to scientifically evaluate and protect the genetic integrity and diversity of native populations.

Summary: The study revealed that varieties Y49 and M33 showed high chlorophyll and carotenoid content and could withstand low-temperature stress by accumulating different antioxidants. Osmolytes compounds significantly increased in Y49 and M33, serving as a defense mechanism for osmotic readjustment to reduce oxidative damage induced by low temperature. PCA and hierarchical cluster analysis identified three groups, with Y49 and M33 being low-temperature tolerant, M18 and W57 being intermediate, and Y38, T8, and Y1 being low temperature susceptible.
