| dc.description.abstract | México se considera el centro de origen del aguacate y mantiene diversidad genética 
en  materiales criollos.  En este estudio, se realizaron colectas de semilla para  detectar 
tolerancia o resistencia a Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands, principal patógeno de la raíz 
del aguacate. El material se colectó en los estados de Querétaro, Puebla y Estado de 
México, seleccionando árboles que no mostraban síntomas (árboles “escape”) aún 
cuando los huertos están infestados con el patógeno. Además, se incluyeron en la 
investigación semillas de 22 accesiones del Banco de Germoplasma (BG) de la 
Fundación Salvador Sánchez Colín CICTAMEX S.C. y planta clonal del portainjerto 
Duke-7 resistente a P. cinnamomi y utilizado como testigo. Se inocularon 5,200 
plántulas con micelio de P. cinnamomi para hacer una selección masal recurrente; 
treinta y ocho plantas mostraron potencial para utilizarse como portainjerto. Para 
evaluar el polimorfismo entre genotipos, caracterizarlos y detectar la cercanía entre 
individuos, de los 38 materiales seleccionados, se extrajo el ADN y se caracterizó 
molecularmente con RAPD e ISSR; se incluyeron también los materiales: Topa-topa  
(susceptible), Duke-7 (resistente) y Day resistente a P. cinnamomi y salinidad, 
provenientes del BG y utilizados como referencia. Los dendogramas se elaboraron con 
el programa FreeTree, versión 0.9.1.50, aplicando un método de remuestreo con 1,000 
repeticiones. La similitud genética se estimó con el coeficiente Nei and Li, y para los 
agrupamientos se utilizó el método UPGMA. Trece de los 25 iniciadores presentaron 
polimorfismo; el promedio del contenido de información polimórfica (PIC) para RAPD e 
ISSR fue de 0.9052 y 0.9054, respectivamente, con un total de 3,057 bandas. De forma 
independiente se caracterizaron 16 accesiones de aguacate provenientes del BG, 14 
de ellas con resistencia o tolerancia en campo a P. cinnamomi y dos con 
susceptibilidad al patógeno. El análisis detectó un alto grado de polimorfismo entre los 
materiales evaluados.________México is considered as the origin center of the avocado and maintain genetic diversity 
in wild materials. Seed collections were carried out to find tolerance or resistance to 
Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands, main pathogen of the avocado root. The collection 
sites were the states of Queretaro, Puebla and state of Mexico, where “escape” trees 
were selected in orchards infested whit the pathogen, likewise, in this research there 
were included seeds of 22 accessions from the Germplasm Bank (GB) located in 
Coatepec Harinas, state of Mexico, y clone plant Duke-7 as standard. After five years 
from the beginning of the collection, the outcome was 5,200 seedlings that were 
inoculated with P. cinnamomi through recurrent mass selection. From this selection, 38 
plants survived and are considered as potential of rootstock. Likewise, there were 
materials selected to water with salty water with concentrations up to 14.2 meq/L of Na+ 
and 4.52 meq/L of Cl-. From these 38 materials, the DNA was extracted and  
characterized molecularly with RAPD and ISSR, which includes three materials from the 
Germoplasm Bank used as reference: Topa-topa (susceptible), Duke-7 (resistant) and  
Day resistant to P. cinnamomi and salinity as well. The objective was to evaluate the 
polymorphism among genotypes, characterize them and detect a close relationship 
among individuals. The Dendograms (trees) were constructed with the software 
FreeTree, version 0.9.1.50 considering a re-sampling method with 1 000 replications. 
The close genetic relationship was estimated by Nei and Li coefficient, and the cluster 
analysis was analyzed by the UPGMA method. Only 13 of 25 primers showed 
polymorphism; the average of the polymorphic information content for RAPD and ISSR 
was 0.9052 and 0.9054, respectively, with a total of 3,057 bands. Other study was by 
vegetal culture of 16 accessions from the GB, 14 resistant to P. cinnamomi in field, this 
analysis detected a high degree of polymorphism among materials assessed. | es |
