GENETIC VARIABILITY OF TATARY BUCKWHEAT POPULATIONS (FAGOPYRUM TARTARICUM (L.) GAERTN.) PRESENT IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the genetic variability of tartary buckwheat populations (Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn.) from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sampling was performed on a total of 25 samples with 5 samples from each population. Collected samples were lyophilized and afterward, DNA extraction was conducted using a peqGOLD plant DNA kit. A total of ten primers were used for DNA amplification, where seven primers pairs resulted in successful amplification. The results showed that polymorphisms were detected on all of the analyzed loci. Also, significant genetic differences between populations of tartary buckwheat from different production regions of this agricultural species have been proven.
