DNA FINGERPRINTING OF IMPORTANT  VARIETIES OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES, ORNAMENTAL , MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS

Background

Technically accurate methods are important in protection of new released genotypes and hybrids. Establishment of an effective molecular identification system(s) helps in the development of superior new genotypes/hybrids. Protection of plant breeders’ rights helps to stimulate investment in research and development.

Identification of new genotypes/hybrids/cultivars is based on morphological traits in most crops (International Union for Protection of New Varieties of Plants [UPOV]. However, these characteristics suffer from environmental effects, epistatic interactions, and other effects. Breeders look for alternative approaches to develop improved lines, including the use of molecular markers for characterization of desirable traits and genotypes. DNA fingerprinting techniques including restriction fragment length  polymorphism (RFLP), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) are used for cultivar identification in a wide range of species due to their high heritability and sufficient polymorphism to discriminate genotypes .The resulted barcodes, derived from the allelic variation of the microsatellite loci, clearly differentiate the cultivars under study. The barcoding representation, which is shown in  various Figures, has been generated using microsatellite markers or other types of molecular markers . This barcode representation can be used as a fingerprint profile for each cultivar as it clearly shows a unique pattern. It will further help by acting as a reference or standard. This barcode profile is a visual representation of the data, allowing easy detection of genotypic differences, thereby helping in the identification of the individual with absolute certainty.

Eggplant varities and Hybrid DNA barcodes:  5 varities /hybrids have been fingerprinted by using 35 SSR markers and the barcodes generated are shown below.

 

Guava  varities and Hybrid DNA barcodes:  In guava 7 genotypes namely, Kamsari, Local Purple, H4-27, H12-20, H54-1, Allahabad Safeda,   Triploid, Arka Amulya and Arka Mridula have been fingerprinted using 23 microsatellite markers for guava. The barcode profile generated is depicted in the fig  shown below.

 

Tomato  varities and Hybrid DNA barcodes:27 varities /hybrids have been fingerprinted by using 10 core set SSR markers and the barcodes generated are shown below.

 

Mango  varities and Hybrid DNA barcodes:India is a centre of origin of Mango and it is estimated that more than 1000 varieties of this fruit is grown here. It is important to fingerprint these varieties in order to protect our genetic diversity. Fingerprint profiles have been generated for 269 genotypes of mango using 14 STMS markers developed at the institute. The profile of 50 varieties is shown in the fig 3 given below
