Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important staple food and economic crop around the world. The identification of potato is based on the morphological characteristics, such as tuber shape, leaf type, flower color, sprout appearance and so on. There are morphological similarities within the conserved potato collection, so the evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure among the diverse genetic resources could be useful for the potato improvement program. Material & Methods: In this study, to understand the genetic diversity of conserved potato germplasm collected worldwide, we acquired leaf samples of 725 potato accessions from Highland Agricultural Research Institute, NICS, RDA, Republic of Korea. Using polymorphic 24 SSR markers, we analyzed the genetic diversity and population structure among the potato collection. Findings & Conclusion: The tested 24 SSR loci revealed polymorphic alleles among the tested potato collection. A total of 273 alleles on 24 SSR loci were detected with an average of 11.4 alleles per SSR locus ranging from 4 to 23. The Simpson index, Nei�s genetic diversity and Evenness were ranged from 0.16 to 0.83, from 0.16 to 0.83, and from 0.43 to 0.88, respectively. Model based population structure were tested using K values from 1 to 20, but there was no clear population structure, therefore Ln(PD) derived ��K was plotted against the K to determine the number of populations. Based on population structure analysis there were five or six sub-populations within the potato collection. The differentiated genetic lineages found in this study could be useful information for potato improvement and conservation programs.
