Abstract
In Romania, the strawberry is an important horticultural crop.
Therefore, knowing the genetic diversity for the purpose of developing new varieties and their introduction into culture becomes important for this species.
Molecular biology, which has advanced rapidly in recent times, has become an ally in the work of enriching the genetic base of culture.
The aim of the study was to highlight the genetic diversity of 40 varieties belonging to the species Fragaria × ananassa Duch., which were analyzed with the help of 10 SSR markers.
Using statistical calculations, it was possible to evaluate the degree of genetic polymorphism, but also the similarities and differences between the varieties.
The results of the molecular screening showed the presence of di-, tri-, and tetranucleotides in most of the varieties included in the study.
All 10 molecular markers were polymorphic, most of them producing more than two bands for each variety.
These results could lay the groundwork for evaluating strawberry genetic resources and using these varieties as genitors in future breeding.
