Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of genetic diversity in the USDA and CIP-FAO international nursery collections of quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) using microsatellite markers
Shawn A. Christensen,Donald B. Pratt,C. Pratt,P. T. Nelson,Mikel R. Stevens,Eric N. Jellen,Craig E. Coleman,Daniel J. Fairbanks,A. Bonifacio,Peter J. Maughan +9 more
TL;DR: Heterogeneity was observed in 32% of the quinoa accessions at a given locus and suggests that many of these accessions represent heterogeneous seed lots or landraces and hypotheses regarding quinoa's centre of diversity are discussed, including highland and lowland ecotype clustering patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genetic linkage map of quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa) based on AFLP, RAPD, and SSR markers.
Peter J. Maughan,A. Bonifacio,Eric N. Jellen,Mikel R. Stevens,Craig E. Coleman,M. Ricks,S. L. Mason,David E. Jarvis,Brian W. Gardunia,Daniel J. Fairbanks +9 more
TL;DR: This map provides a key starting point for genetic dissection of agronomically important characteristics of quinoa, including seed saponin content, grain yield, maturity, and resistance to disease, frost, and drought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and use of microsatellite markers for germplasm characterization in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa willd.)
S. L. Mason,Mikel R. Stevens,Eric N. Jellen,A. Bonifacio,Daniel J. Fairbanks,Craig E. Coleman,R. R. McCarty,A. G. Rasmussen,Peter J. Maughan +8 more
TL;DR: These microsatellites markers are an ideal resource for use in managing quinoa germplasm, trait mapping and marker-assisted breeding strategies and the wide cross-species transportability of these markers may extend their value to research involving other Chenopodium species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple sequence repeat marker development and genetic mapping in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.).
David E. Jarvis,O. R. Kopp,Eric N. Jellen,Melanie A. Mallory,J. Pattee,A. Bonifacio,Craig E. Coleman,Mikel R. Stevens,Daniel J. Fairbanks,Peter J. Maughan +9 more
TL;DR: The linkage map presented here is the first SSR-based map in quinoa and contains 275 markers, including 200 SSR, and will be particularly valuable for research in laboratories in Andean regions of South America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and cytological characterization of ribosomal RNA genes in Chenopodium quinoa and Chenopodium berlandieri
Peter J. Maughan,Bozena Kolano,Jolanta Maluszynska,N.D. Coles,A. Bonifacio,Jaime Humberto Carvajal Rojas,Craig E. Coleman,Mikel R. Stevens,Daniel J. Fairbanks,S. E. Parkinson,Eric N. Jellen +10 more
TL;DR: FISH analysis showed that C. quinoa possesses an interstitial and a terminal pair of 5S rRNA loci and only 1 pair of NOR, suggesting a reduction in the number of r RNA loci during the evolution of this species.
