Total Wheat DNA Variation in to Varieties Using Known Primers of the Genes Induced in Dehydration and Salinity Stress

Muhammad Ashraf, Afsari S. Qureshi and Abdul Ghafoor

Ten genotypes of wheat used characterised with their total DNA variation with special reference to known primers of the genes induced in dehydration and salinity stress. Amplification profiles of DRE primers in identification of polymorphic bands that can be used for finger printing the varieties. Four main groups were observed based on 138 polymorphic bands and variance was related to drought, pedigree or geographic origin. Similar pattern of genetic diversity was also observed when 200 markers were recorded from DRE combinations. Pakistani varieties showed higher degree of 70% dissimilarities, While exotic showed low genetic distance.
