An application of microsatellite analysis for detection of biotypes from spring rapeseed cultivars (Brassica napus L.)

A degree of genetic similarity of spring rapeseed was estimated by microsatellite analysis method. It resulted in detection of diversity of biotypes in the studied cultivars which were identified as cultivar populations. A calculation of allele frequency allowed separating these populations on individual biotypes and comparing them with the initial cultivars on fatty-acid composition of oil. The biotypes exceeded the initial variants on the biochemical parameters will be used in the future studies to generate a certificate of each spring rapeseed cultivar.
