    Notes: Abstract The application of simple sequence repeat (SSR) genotyping for the characterization of genetic variation in crop plants has been hindered by ready access to useful primer pairs and potentially limited conservation of the repeat sequences among related species. In this phase of work, we report on the identification and characterization of SSRs that are conserved in Brassica napus L. (rapeseed) and its putative progenitors, B. oleracea L. (cabbage, and related vegetable types) and B. rapa (vegetable and oil types). Approximately 140 clones from a size-fractionated genomic library of B. napus were sequenced, and primer pairs were designed for 21 dinucleotide SSRs. Seventeen primer pairs amplified products in the three species and, among these, 13 detected variation between and within species. Unlike findings on SSR information content in human, no relationship could be established between the number of tandem repeats within the target sequence and heterozygosity. All primer pairs have been designed to work under identical amplification conditions; therefore, single-reaction, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with these SSRs is possible. Once moderate numbers of primer pairs are accessible to the user community, SSR genotyping may provide a useful method for the characterization, conservation, and utilization of agricultural crop diversity.

    Notes: Abstract  The large size of the sorghum [Sorghum bi-color (L.) Moench] landrace collection maintained by ICRISAT lead to the establishment of a core collection. Thus, three subsets of around 200 accessions were established from: (1) a random sampling after stratification of the entire landrace collection (L), (2) a selective sampling based on quantitative characters (PCS), and (3) a selection based on the geographical origin of landraces and the traits under farmers’ selection (T). An assessment was done of the genetic diversity retained by each sampling strategy using the polymorphisms at 15 microsatellite loci. The landraces of each subset were genotyped with three multiplex polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) of five fluorescent primer-pairs each with semi-automated allele sizing. The average allelic richness for each subset was equivalent (16.1, 16.3 and 15.4 alleles per locus for the subsets PCS, L, and T, respectively). The average genetic diversity was also comparable for the three subsets (0.81, 0.77 and 0.80 for the subsets PCS, L, and T, respectively). Allelic frequency distribution for each subset was compared with a chi-square test but few significant differences were observed. A high percentage of rare alleles (71 to 76% of 206 total rare alleles) was maintained in the three subsets. The global molecular diversity retained in each subset was not affected by a sampling procedure based upon phenotypic characters.
