Genetic Diversity Analysis of Sugarcane Parents in Chinese Breeding Programmes Using gSSR Markers

Table 3

The values of genetic diversity parameters for sugarcane accessions of common and new parents in different groups, estimated based on polymorphisms of 5 SSR loci.

Group	Clones size	NPB	PPB (%)	Na	Ne	h	I
Common parents	64	82	93.18	2.000	1.302	0.190	0.308
New parents	51	69	78.41	2.000	1.359	0.223	0.356
Total	115	88	100.0	2.000	1.283	0.178	0.288

Number of polymorphic bands (NPB); percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB); observed number of alleles (Na); effective number of alleles (Ne); Nei’s genetic diversity (ℎ); Shannon’s information index (𝐼).
