out following the protocol of the Kbioscience leaf
sampling kit. The genotyping was conducted using the
KAPS method with 200 SNP markers. The details on
the principle and procedure of the DNA assay are
available at
.
Data analysis
DARwin5 software was used for the tree construction
from the molecular markers (
).
