Summary: This study evaluated the genetic diversity and structure of 24 A. chinensis populations and found high levels of genetic diversity in the polyploid populations. The study also revealed distinct eastern and western genetic clusters. Ecological niche modeling predicted a gradual loss of potentially suitable areas for tetraploids and increasing habitat fragmentation in the future.

Summary: This study assessed the genetic diversity and population structure of 196 Saccharum accessions, including various species and hybrids, using multiple analysis methods. The results showed that different species of sugarcane merged together, and specific alleles were important for sugarcane breeding and species identification. These findings provide valuable information for future genetic research and utilization of sugarcane germplasm resources.

Summary: Phenotypic evaluation and molecular biotechnology were used to investigate the variation and diversity of 149 main potato cultivars in China. The results showed high genetic variation based on SSR markers. Population structure analysis divided the varieties into three subgroups. The STI032 marker was found to be significantly associated with tuber starch content and growth period traits.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic diversity of Camellia chekiangoleosa and found that the genetic diversity was low overall, with high diversity in central populations and high genetic differentiation among populations. The low genetic diversity can be attributed to small population sizes, bottleneck effects, inbreeding within populations, and low gene flow among populations.

Summary: The genetic relationships, population structure, and diversity of 45 apple genotypes were examined using a SNP array, revealing mislabeled accessions and redundancies in apple germplasm. SNP markers showed better differentiation ability compared to SSR markers and were able to cluster accessions based on their pedigree. The study also uncovered some genetic relationships and the introgression of 'Delicious' and 'Golden Delicious' into the core collection.

Summary: The study investigated the genetic relationships among 41 olive genotypes using SSR markers, revealing high genetic variation among Azerbaijani olive genotypes and their distinctness from Turkish olive cultivars, suggesting the possibility of importation from different countries. The diverse olive genotypes identified could be valuable for the development of new olive varieties in Azerbaijan and could enhance future breeding programs between the two countries.

Summary: This study analyzed the genetic diversity and population structure of Psathyrostachys juncea using molecular markers, and evaluated the genetic differentiation related to tillering traits. The results showed that the overall genetic relationship of P. juncea individuals was relatively close, and there was a significant correlation between genetic relationship and geographical distribution.

Summary: In this study, 28 accessions of Spanish and Tunisian peas were characterized using eight SSR polymorphic markers to assess their genetic diversity. Various methods, including diversity indices, analysis of molecular variance, cluster analysis, and population structure, were applied to evaluate their relationships. The results showed a high level of polymorphism (84.15%) and a significant genetic distance among the accessions. Furthermore, the SSR markers successfully divided the accessions into three major genetic clusters. Therefore, this study demonstrates the usefulness of SSR markers for the management and conservation of pea germplasm in these countries, as well as for future reproduction.
