Master Thesis Development of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers Using Genotyping by Sequencing Technique for Determination of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in Hazelnut(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Doğanlar, Sami; Doğanlar, Sami; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyHazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a critical commodity for Turkey due to its economic and nutritional value. Turkey ranks first in world hazelnut production with 65-75% of the market. Due to the signifacance of this crop, it is crucial to preserve Turkish hazelnut genetic diversity. In the current study, a panel representing the entire national collection of 430 accessions was used. Genetic characterization of the panel revealed 7609 high-quality SNPs, 5567 of which were physically mapped to the Tombul reference genome. Fingerprint analysis indicated that all individuals could be distinguished with only seven SNP markers. Population structure analysis of the dataset indicated that the panel's genetic relationships were explained by three clusters containing 8, 17, and 25 accessions, respectively. Nearly half of the accessions had admixed ancestry. The admixed material contained 8 cultivars, 22 landraces, and 12 wild accessions indicating that nearly 50% of each type of material had admixed ancestry. An unweighted neighbor-joining dendrogram was constructed using a distance matrix computed with the identity by state distance measure. The calculated dissimilarity values ranged from 0.15 to 0.30 with a mean of 0.26. This study is the first time that the Gras-Di sequencing approach was used on a nut tree and provides a new perspective on hazelnut genetics. In addition, the panel will serve as a wellcharacterized genetic resource for future work on this economically important tree nut crop.Master Thesis Determination of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in Faba Bean (vicia Faba L)(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Göl, Şurhan; Frary, Anne; Frary, Anne; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyFaba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important legume species because of the high protein and starch content of its seeds. Broad bean can be grown in different climatic conditions and is an ideal rotation crop because of the symbiotic relationship between the plant and nitrogen fixing bacteria in its roots. Broad bean seeds are consumed as fresh vegetables in many countries throughout the world. However, the genetic diversity found in this germplasm has not yet been characterized and has not been systematically used in broad bean breeding programs. In this project, faba bean individuals obtained from International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Centre for Genetic Resources (CGN), Aegean Agricultural Research Institute (AARI), Nordic Gene Bank (NGB) and Australia (The University of Adelaide, Jeffrey Paull) were examined for their genetic diversity and population structure. For this purpose, 259 faba bean germplasm accessions were characterized using 32 SSR primers. A total of 302 polymorphic SSR fragments were analyzed. According the results, faba bean individuals were divided into two main clusters based on Neighbor-joining algorithm (r = 0.9062) with some clustering based on geographical origin as well as seed size. STRUCTURE 2.2.3 program was used to determine population structure. K was determined as 2 subpopulations. Cluster 1 had 87 individuals; cluster 2 had 162 individuals and 10 individuals were intermixed with results generally agreeing with the dendrogram analysis. A total of 45 well-characterized faba bean individuals were selected for the core collection to be used in breeding studies.
