Summary: This study evaluated the genetic diversity of 3115 safflower accessions from the Indian National Gene Bank and developed a manageable set of accessions with similar genetic variations. The results showed that the safflower germplasm was highly diverse and there was no correlation between genetic diversity and geographical collection. A core set of 351 accessions was developed using core hunter software.

Summary: In this study, 217 cultivated radish accessions were genotyped using 24 structure variation markers. The results showed a good polymorphism of these markers and revealed three main populations of radish, which were highly associated with geographical distribution. The high genetic diversity of radish germplasms provides valuable resources for genetic mapping, functional genomic research, core germplasm utilization, and molecular breeding of radish.

Summary: Kiwifruit, a perennial dioecious vine, is known as the king of fruits due to its nutritious and sweet characteristics. The A. chinensis complex, including two main groups, has significant economic value and is highly utilized. However, wild kiwifruit resources in China are under threat. Therefore, evaluating the genetic diversity and constructing a core collection of the A. chinensis complex are important for conservation and sustainable development. This study investigated the microsatellite markers of the A. chinensis complex, revealing the genetic diversity and constructing a core collection of 93 accessions.

Summary: Genetic diversity and structure of common bean germplasm from Serbia was assessed using 27 SSR markers. Results showed higher variability in landraces compared to cultivars. Bayesian clustering model revealed clear separation into Mesoamerican and Andean gene pools, with a small admixed genetic structure group. Subdivision according to seed forms and genetic distance analysis further characterized the bean accessions. This study provides valuable information for conservation and breeding strategies of common bean germplasm in Western Balkans and beyond.

Summary: Pinus yunnanensis Franch. is an economically and ecologically important pine in southwest China. Genetic diversity and population structure were analyzed using microsatellite markers, revealing high genetic diversity and genetic flow between populations. Three discrete groups were formed due to geographical and ecological isolation. A core collection of individuals was established for conservation and utilization purposes.
