SSR Profiles of Aspergillus Flavus Isolates from Azerbaijani Hazelnuts

710 Aspergillus flavus isolates from three hazelnut-producing regions in Azerbaijan were analyzed using 17 simple sequence repeat markers. The dataset reveals 377 distinct haplotypes and high genetic diversity across regions, seasons, and production stages. It was created by Alessia Casu and last updated on 2026-05-01.

Use Cases

• Analyzing genetic diversity and population structure of Aspergillus flavus based on SSR marker data
• Identifying non-aflatoxigenic strains for potential biocontrol applications based on haplotype matching
• Studying linkage disequilibrium and reproduction patterns in fungal populations across different regions and seasons

Strengths

• Analyzes 710 Aspergillus flavus isolates, providing a substantial sample size
• Uses 17 SSR markers to reveal 377 distinct haplotypes, indicating high genetic resolution
• Covers three key hazelnut regions in Azerbaijan (Zaqatala, Qabala, Khachmaz), offering geographic breadth

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Dataset is small (134.2 KB), indicating limited scope
