Genetic Diversity of Orobanche crenata Populations in Ethiopia Using Microsatellite Markers

Table 2

Genetic diversity estimates of regions of collection based on percentage polymorphism, allele numbers, observed and expected heterozygosity, allelic range, gene number and diversity, and Garza-Williamson index.

Region		%PL		Ho	He
South Tigray	30	45.45	8.82	0.39	0.82	24.73	60	0.79	0.46
South Wollo	31	72.73	8.54	0.37	0.82	22.37	62	0.82	0.49
North Wollo	5	63.63	3.45	0.34	0.69	15.54	10	0.74	0.41
South Gondar	30	54.54	8.18	0.39	0.80	24.09	60	0.75	0.45
Mean	24	59.09	7.25	0.37	0.78	21.68	48	0.77	0.45

Where : population size, %PL: percent of polymorphic loci, : number of allele, Ho: Observed heterozygosity, He: expected heterozygosity, : Allelic range, : number of gene copies, : Average gene diversity over loci, : Garza-Williamson index.
