Abstract
A genetic statistical method for estimation of intraspecific diversity of cultivated plants with respect to morphological genes is proposed. The method may be used for estimation of probability distributions of morphological (marker) mutations with respect to the frequencies of their expression and for prediction of experimental parameter such as the total number of markers, the scale (duration) of the experiment that is necessary for detection of a given proportion of the total marker diversity of the species, etc. The method was tested on tomato Lycopersicon esculentumMill. using data from the SolGenes Internet databank.
