Abstract
In this study, 38 elite breeding pepper lines were genetically analyzed using SRAP markers and tested for resistance to PVY, TSWV, and PMMoV viruses using molecular markers. In the virus resistance tests, 1 line (37-H–D-6) from the Three-lobs population was found to be resistant to all 3 viruses tested. The 19 SRAP primer combinations used for genetic diversity yielded a total of 85 bands, 57 of which were polymorphic among pepper lines. While 2–8 bands per primer were obtained, the number of polymorphic bands ranged from 1 to 6. The average polymorphism rate of the primers was 66.44%. The PIC values ranged from 0.06 to 0.40 (with a mean of 0.18). In addition, the average gene diversity, effective allele number, and Shannon information index values of the primers were 0.21, 1.34, and 0.31, respectively. STRUCTURE analysis showed that the pepper lines were grouped into 4 clusters. PCoA and Q-matrix plots supported the cluster distribution. Some lines of the Sivri and Three-lobs pepper populations were observed as outliers in the plots. Kapia and Three-lobs were more similar to each other. This study showed that SRAP markers can be successfully used for genetic diversity of pepper breeding lines.
