The least distance stepwise sampling (LDSS) strategy effectively constructs representative core collections from germplasm. This method ensures better genetic diversity representation compared to random sampling, optimizing crop genetic resource management.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Core collections are crucial for preserving genetic diversity in crop germplasm.
  • Efficient strategies are needed to select representative subsets of large germplasm collections.
  • Previous methods may not fully capture the genetic variation within a population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel strategy for constructing core collections using least distance stepwise sampling (LDSS).
  • To assess the representativeness of core collections generated by LDSS.
  • To compare LDSS with a control strategy involving random sampling.

Main Methods:

  • Least distance stepwise sampling (LDSS) based on genotypic values.
  • Evaluation metrics: mean difference percentage (MD), variance difference percentage (VD), coincidence rate of range (CR), and variable rate of coefficient of variation (VR).

  • Application to a cotton germplasm collection (1,547 accessions, 18 quantitative traits) using mixed linear models, various genetic distances, and hierarchical clustering methods.

    • Main Results:

    • LDSS strategy successfully constructed core collections with good representativeness of the initial cotton germplasm.
    • LDSS outperformed the control strategy (stepwise clusters with random sampling) in creating more representative core collections.
    • The choice of hierarchical cluster method did not significantly impact results with LDSS.
    • Standardized Euclidean distance was identified as a suitable genetic distance measure for this strategy.

    Conclusions:

    • The LDSS strategy is a robust and effective method for developing representative core collections.
    • LDSS offers an improvement over random sampling for germplasm subset selection.
    • Standardized Euclidean distance is recommended when using LDSS for core collection construction.
