Genetic diversity of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) germplasms with resistance to rust diseases revealed by Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers

Abstract

• Genetic variation on orchardgrass with rust resistance was evaluated by SCoT marker. • SCoT marker is useful for estimation of orchardgrass germplasms genetic diversity. • Rich genetic diversity was detected in orchardgrass germplasms with rust resistance.
