Genetic
diversity levels are critical for characterizing and utilizing
germplasm collections and for making improvements related
to elite germplasms.
The current study
investigated the genetic
diversity level and phylogenetic
relationships in ten Turkish sweet corn varieties (Zea mays var. saccharata) using 15 ISSR
markers and trnL-F intergenic spacer
regions, respectively. A total of 75 loci were identified, of which 57 (76%)
were polymorphic. The
highest polymorphism ratio (100%) was found using
UBC811, UBC817, and UBC823 ISSR markers, while the lowest ratio (45.4%) was
identified using
UBC829. According to trnL-F intergenic spacer region
analyses, nucleotide diversity
was found as
π: 0.030 for
Nei and θ:
0.036 for Watterson,respectively. In trnL-F intergenic spacer
regions, several polymorphic (variable) sites were
identified 28 of which 57% (16/28) were parsimony informative
sites and 399 sites were
invariable (monomorphic). The phylogenetic analysis revealed that two major
groups were observed named
groups A and B and ten sweet corn genotypes clustered
along with known
maize genotypes in
subgroup B2 with
98% bootstrap value. Consequently, the
ISSR data obtained
in this study revealed that
Turkish sweet corn
genotypes exhibit extensive genetic
diversity, and the trnL-F intergenic spacer
region was successfully utilized to differentiate between maize
genotypes from various origins and whole plant taxa.d utilizing germplasm collections and for
