Y. Ling, Zhang, X. - Q., Ma, X., Chen, S. - Y., Chen, T. - T., and Liu, W., Analysis of genetic diversity among wild bermudagrass germplasm from southwest China using SSR markers, vol. 11, pp. 4598-4608, 2012.

Fifty-five wild accessions of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) were collected from southwest China (Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tibet), and their genetic diversity was analyzed using simple sequence repeat markers. A total of 267 polymorphic bands were detected with 18 primer combinations. The genetic similarity among the accessions ranged from 0.688 to 0.894 with an average of 0.797. All 55 wild accessions were clustered into 7 eco-geographic groups.
