Table 2.
Genetic diversity of elite rye inbred lines representing the heterotic gene pools ‘Petkus' and ‘Carsten'.
| Population name | Breeding level | Individuals | Ap | Hobs | H | FIS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ‘Petkus' | Elite seed parent | 180 | 247 | 0.06 | 0.30 | 0.77 |
| ‘Carsten' | Elite pollen parent | 34 | 26 | 0.29 | 0.31 | 0.07 |
The level of genetic diversity of each population was estimated based on 2,965 SNP markers and described with the parameters number of private alleles (Ap), observed heterozygosity (Hobs), gene diversity (expected heterozygosity, H), and inbreeding coefficient (FIS).
