Production of spring wheat, the major crop in Mongolia, accounts for 98% of the cultivated area. Understanding genetic variability in existing gene bank accessions is critical for collection, conservation and use of wheat germplasms. To determine genetic diversity and population structure among a representative collection of Mongolian local wheat cultivars and lines, 200 wheat accessions were analyzed with 15 SSR markers distributed throughout the wheat genome. A total of 85 alleles were detected, with three to five alleles per locus and a mean genetic richness of 5.66. Average genetic diversity index was 0.69, with values ranging from 0.37–0.80. The 200 Mongolian wheat accessions were mainly divided into two subgroups based on structure and phylogenetic analyses, and some phenotypes were divergent by the subgroups. Results from this study will provide valuable information for conservation and sustainable use of Mongolian wheat genetic resources.

objective
of this study was to determine the genetic diversity and population structure of 355 tomato accessions from Asia using 18 simple-sequence repeats (SSRs). A total of 176 alleles were detected at an average of ten alleles per SSR locus. The average major allele frequency and polymorphic information content were 0.69 and 0.39, respectively. Model-based structure analysis revealed two subpopulations (88%), including admixtures (11%) in the 355 Asian tomato accessions, consistent with clustering results based on genetic distance.
