Geographic and altitudinal allozyme variation in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) landraces from Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Abstract:

:The amount and distribution of genetic variation was investigated in 48 sorghum landrace accessions, representing 13 regions of origin and three adaptation zones (lowland, intermediate and highland elevation) in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Assaying 11 enzymes systems, 23 putative loci were scored for a total of 27 alleles. Nineteen loci were monomorphic and fixed for the same allele, while the remaining 4 loci, each with 2 alleles, were polymorphic across the 48 accessions. The results show significant differences in allele frequencies among the accessions, regions of origin and the adaptation zones. However, all measures of genetic variation used show that the accessions maintained much lower levels of variation than the corresponding mean values for self-pollinating crop plants, confirming previous conclusions that sorghum is depauperated in allozymic variation. The total gene diversity was 0.25, which partitioned 59% within and 41% among accessions. The latter was largely due to variation among accessions within the adaptation zones (38%), while only 3% was due to variation among accessions between the adaptation zones. Similarly, most of the total gene diversity was found within the regions of origin (80%) and within the adaptation zones (97%). Both the dendrogram constructed from NEI's unbiased genetic distance and the plot of the first two principal components distinguished three groups of regions. The level of gene flow was low among accessions, regions of origin and among accessions within adaptation zones, but high among adaptation zones. The results are discussed with emphasis on genetic resources conservation and utilization.
