Zusammenfassung: | The purpose of this study was to estimate the genetic divergence in sweet cassava accessions by molecular markers and quantitative and qualitative characters, as well as determine the correlation between these estimates. Sixteen sweet cassava accessions of the Regional Cassava Germplasm Bank of the Cerrado were evaluated under field conditions, for 13 quantitative and 33 qualitative characters. In the laboratory, the accessions were evaluated with RAPD markers. Subsequently, matrixes of genetic dissimilarity/distance among the accessions were estimated based on molecular markers and quantitative and qualitative characters. Besides, the significance of the correlation between the matrixes was estimated. The RAPD, qualitative and quantitative data indicated the existence of high divergence among the accessions. The divergences estimated by molecular markers and by quantitative traits were weakly associated with each other and moderately with the divergence estimated by qualitative characters.
O objetivo desse estudo foi estimar a divergência genética entre acessos de mandioca de mesa por meio de marcadores moleculares e de caracteres quantitativos e qualitativos, bem como determinar a correlação entre essas estimativas. Foram avaliados dezesseis acessos de mandioca de mesa integrantes do Banco Regional de Germoplasma de Mandioca do Cerrado. Os acessos foram avaliados a campo quanto a 13 caracteres quantitativos e 33 caracteres qualitativos e em laboratório usando marcadores RAPD. Foram estimadas as matrizes de dissimilaridade/distância genética entre os acessos por meio dos caracteres qualitativos e quantitativos e a significância da correlação entre as matrizes. Os resultados revelaram a existência de elevada divergência entre os acessos quanto a marcadores RAPD, caracteres qualitativos e quantitativos. A divergência estimada por meio de marcadores moleculares e caracteres quantitativos revelaram reduzida associação entre si e moderada com a estimada por meio de caracteres qualitativos. |
