Notes:
The DNA of 37 lines of Setaria italica, representative of Eurasian diversity, were used for the detection of polymorphism using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method. Four 10-mer primers, differing from each other by one or two G-C inversions, were used. Each one gave specific RAPD products. Twenty-five bands were polymorphic and allowed the identification of 33 different genotypes. A factorial analysis of correspondence was performed on the presenc-absence data, through which three genetic groups could be identified. These genetic groups were closely related to the geographical origin of the different lines: one central European and two Asiatic groups (the first Asiatic lines originating in latitudes below 35°N and the second comprising the Asiatic lines originating in latitudes above 35° N). The lines originating from western Europe were very variable and were dispersed in the three genetic groups described previously.
