Summary: This study analyzed over 400 samples of Carya species and their hybrids from the USDA National Collection of Genetic Resources for Carya using nuclear and plastid microsatellite markers. The results showed clear taxonomic classifications at multiple levels and patterns of interspecific hybridity. The markers were found to be useful in examining and characterizing populations and hybrids in the genus Carya, and may contribute to pecan breeding programs and the identification of pecan trees for growers.

Summary: The study utilized SRAP markers to detect genetic variability and structure of 80 prairie grass accessions, finding that they can be grouped into five clusters with three genetic memberships identified. Additionally, a low genetic differentiation was discovered among the accessions, with the North America group showing the highest genetic diversity within clusters.

Summary: This study evaluated 50 genotypes using multivariate traits and conducted principal component analysis. Analysis of variance showed significant variations in most traits. Results indicated that genotypic coefficient of variation for grain yields was the highest, followed by panicle lengths and biological yields. Improvements in grain yield can be achieved through direct and indirect selection. Variability in the germplasm enables effective selection of appropriate donor lines for genetic improvement.

Summary: In order to utilize the underutilized oat crops, it is necessary to identify quality and yield related genes/QTLs from existing germplasms. The large family of grasses provides a vast number of germplasms for bio-prospecting. Molecular markers can be used to select cross-compatible oat germplasms and introduce novel traits into elite oats. The study analyzed the genetic diversity of 38 oat germplasms using ISSR markers and identified superior genotypes for high grain yield and high fresh weight.

Summary: This study evaluated the genetic diversity of 81 carrot genotypes through multivariate analysis, grouping them into ten clusters. Significant differences were observed between clusters, with some clusters showing higher average values for important traits. Total sugar content and anthocyanin content contributed the most to genetic divergence.

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: Physiological responses of garlic to salinity were examined, revealing key morphological and physiological traits influencing salt tolerance and grouping salt-tolerant and sensitive accessions based on these traits. Transcriptome comparison between salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive garlic accessions identified differentially expressed genes involved in various biological processes, including carotenoid biosynthesis, auxin signaling, and K+ transport, potentially contributing to garlic salt tolerance improvement.

Summary: This study analyzed the leaf morphological variation and genetic diversity of Acer truncatum from different regions. The results showed significant differences in leaf size among provenances, which were correlated with the geographical environment. Leaf morphology mainly varied in petioles, leaf width, and leaf length. A. truncatum exhibited high genetic variation and rich genetic diversity at the species level. There were differences in genetic diversity among the provenances, and genetic similarity coefficients were not correlated with geographic distance.

Summary: In this study, the phytochemical analysis of Asparagus lycopodineus was conducted for the first time, leading to the isolation of 14 compounds. Among them, five compounds have never been found in the Asparagus genus before. Additionally, the results highlight the close evolutionary relationship among A. lycopodineus, A. cochinchinensis, and A. filicinus.
