Abstract
Selection of an appropriate sampling strategy is an important prerequisite to establish core collections of appropriate size to adequately represent the genetic spectrum and maximally capture the genetic diversity in available crop collections. We developed a simulation approach to identify an optimum sampling strategy and core collection size, using isoenzyme data from a CIP germplasm collection on an Andean tetraploid potato. Five sampling strategies, constant (C), proportional (P), logarithmic (L), square-root (S) and random (R), were tested on isoenzyme data from 9396 Andean tetraploid potato accessions characterized for nine isoenzyme loci having a total of 38 alleles. The 9396 accessions, though comprising 2379 morphologically distinct accessions, were found to represent 1910 genetically distinct groups of accessions for the nine isoenzyme loci using a sort-and-duplicate-search algorithm. From each group, one accession was randomly selected to form a genetically refined entire collection (GREC) of size 1910. The GREC was used to test the five sampling strategies. To assess the behaviour of the results in repeated sampling, k=1500 and 5000 independent random samples (without replacement) of admissible sizes n=50(50)1000 for each strategy were drawn from GREC. Allele frequencies (AF) for the 38 alleles and locus heterozygosity (LH) for the nine loci were estimated for each sample. The goodness of fit of samples AF and LH with those from GREC was tested using the ?2 test. A core collection of size n=600, selected using either the P or the R sampling strategy, was found adequately to represent the GREC for both AF and LH. As similar results were obtained at k=1500 and 5000, it seems adequate to draw 1500 independent random samples of different sizes to test the behaviour of different sampling strategies to identify an appropriate sampling approach, as well as to determine an optimum core collection size.
