Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) Analysis in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Populations Spreading in Different Geographies of the World
Abstract
Cultivated alfalfa
(Medicago sativa L.)
was derived from Medicago sativa
species complex as a result of breeding efforts. New efforts have focused on to determine the
DNA polymorphisms based on molecular markers and to link these polymorphisms
with related phenotype recently. Especially, the relationships between
genotypes and phenotypes are evaluated as Linkage Analysis and Association
Mapping Studies. On the basis of information, in this study, Linkage
Disequilibrium (LD) analysis was also performed using 31 SSR markers for the 70
populations. For the LD analysis, 23 of the 31 markers identified the physical
distances on the 8 chromosomes of the alfalfa. Distances of 103 loci on 8
chromosomes were determined based on Medicago
truncatula genome. A significant (p<0,0001) LD value
was not observed in these populations for the evaluated markers.
