LIRA-ORTIZ, Rosalba et al. Genetic diversity of soursop populations (Annona muricata L.) in Nayarit, Mexico using SSR and SRAP markers. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.1, pp.104-112.  Epub 18-Fev-2022. ISSN 0120-548X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/abc.v27n1.88241.

Soursop (Annona muricata L.) is a crop of economic importance for Nayarit, Mexico. Soursop fruits have had an excellent acceptance in the regional market, making it difficult its commercialization to distant places because the production is highly perishable, in addition to the fact that the trees in the soursop orchards are mostly ecotypes or phenotypes without any genetic improvement plan. Due to the lack of commercial varieties and a germplasm bank, it is important to know the genetic diversity to identify and select genotypes; one of the tools for this purpose is the use of molecular markers. The objective of this research was to analyze the genetic diversity of soursop in the main producing areas of Nayarit. Genomic DNA was extracted from soursop leaves from 11 orchards (populations) in the following areas: Compostela (five populations), Tepic (three populations) and San Blas (three populations). Subsequently, we performed molecular analysis using SSR and SRAP molecular markers. The results indicated that the SSRs showed no polymorphism between the populations. On the other hand, we found 116 polymorphic loci in the SRAP markers with an average percentage of polymorphic loci (P) among the producing areas of 29.55 %. Likewise, an AMOVA was performed, showing that the highest percentage of variance is found within the populations. Furthermore, cluster analyzes demonstrated the formation of three independent groups. Therefore, a high homozygosity and low genetic diversity of soursop were obtained between the areas and populations studied.
