Genetic Diversity of Seashore Paspalum Revealed with Simple Sequence Repeat Markers

Seashore paspalum ( Paspalum vaginatum ) is an important warm-season turfgrass distributed in tropical and coastal areas. It has excellent resistance to abiotic stresses, such as salinity, drought, and low temperature. However, the research on genetic diversity of local P. vaginatum collections from China is limited. In this study, the genetic diversity among 58 P. vaginatum accessions from four different provinces in China and four cultivars...
