The genetic composition of sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] (2n = 6x = 90) is reflected in different levels of genetic variation. The main objective of the present study was a comparison of genetic diversity parameters of different ploidy levels (2n, 4n, and 6n codominant allele determination), analyzed on two high-resolution capillary platforms. Fragment analysis was performed by applying SSR markers on a 3130XL Genetic Analyzer (ABI 3130) and QIAxcel Advanced System (QX). A high level of expected heterozygosity (He) as a measure of genetic diversity was observed for both ABI3130 (0.731) and QX (0.679). Molecular variance was 17% for ABI3130 and 10% for QX. Comparison between genetic distance matrices based on allele lengths showed a moderate Mantel correlation coefficient (rxy = 0.557) between ABI3130 and QX. Global cluster analysis using the Bayesian approach distributed the observed genotypes into two clusters on both capillary platforms. Our results show that the two high-resolution capillary electrophoreses for codominant data on 2n, 4n, and 6n levels are applicable in genetic diversity studies but their efficiency depends on in-resolution expectations, financial resources, available time, and the equipment of the laboratory.
