The study aims to optimize SCoT and iPBS-retrotransposon markers to enhance genetic analysis in alfalfa.
Tested different DNA volumes for PCR amplification of SCoT and iPBS-retrotransposon markers.
Validated optimized conditions with various SCoT and iPBS primers on six alfalfa genotypes and two commercial varieties.
Collected genotypes from distinct areas in Turkey to represent the gene pool.
The optimized PCR conditions led to improved reproducibility in marker analysis.
Demonstrated high discriminatory ability of SCoT and iPBS marker systems in distinguishing alfalfa genotypes.
Provided a reliable methodological framework for future genetic diversity studies in alfalfa.
