Molecular markers analysis of endemic Bornmuellera hausskn. spp. (Brassicaceae) in Türkiye

In this study, molecular characterisation of T?rkiye's endemic species Bornmuellera cappadocica (Willd.) Cullen & T.R. Dudley, Bornmuellera glabrescens (Boiss. & Balansa) Cullen & T.R. Dudley, Bornmuellera kiyakii Ayta? & Aksoy and Bornmuellera angustifolia (Hausskn. ex Bornm.) Cullen & T.R.Dudley was carried out using ten RAPD and ten ISSR primers. In RAPD-PCR analysis, 66 bands were obtained and the polymorphism rate was 96.96%. In the ISSR-PCR analysis, 119 bands were obtained and the polymorphism rate was 95.79%. In the UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmatic Mean) dendrogram based on RAPD-PCR, B. angustifolia and B. glabrescens were found to be a sister group, and B. kiyakii and B. cappadocica were a sister group. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) analysis based on RAPD-PCR were compatible with the UPGMA dendrogram. In the UPGMA dendrogram based on ISSR-PCR, B. kiyakii and B. glabrescens were found to be sister groups, and B. cappadocica was closely related to this group. PCA analysis based on ISSR-PCR were compatible with the UPGMA dendrogram. As a result, both RAPD and ISSR results a high rate of polymorphism were obtained. The results were compared with previous sequence-based studies, morphological, anatomical and palynological studies.
