Genetic polymorphism of cassava within the Republic of Benin detected with RAPD markers
Tonukari, N.J.; Thottappilly, G.; Ng, N.Q. & Mignouna, H.D.
Abstract
A knowledge of the extent of genetic variation in a crop is a prerequisite
for its improvement. In cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) such
knowledge is lacking especially at the DNA level. The genetic variation
among 28 cassava varieties collected from different locations in the
Republic of Benin was investigated using random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD). A set of 10 random sequence 10-mer primers out of 100 that were
screened detected polymorphisms and generated 78 amplified DNA bands. Based
on an unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) cluster
analysis, the accessions were categorised into 6 groups. The results,
summarised in a dendrogram, show the genetic diversity among this cassava
germplasm.

Résumé
La connaissance de l'importance de variation genetique chez une culture est
necessaire pour son amelioration. Chez le manioc (Manihot esculenta
Crantz), une telle connaissance manque surtout au niveau du DNA. La
variation genetique parmi les 28 varietes du manioc recueillies de
differentes localites du Benin etait etudiee en utilisant un polymorphe
amplifie selectif du DNA (RAPD). Un ensemble de 10 amorces de 10-mer d'une
selection sequentielle sur 100 qui avaient ete depistes ont detecte le
polymorphisme et ont genere 78 bandes de DNA amplifie. Sur la base de
l'analyse de faisceau de la methode d'un groupe de paire non-pondere avec
les moyennes arithmetiques (UPGMA), les varietes etaient divisees en six
groupes. Les resultats, resumes en dendogramme, montrent la variation
genetique chez les differents types du plasme germinatif du manioc.
