Diversity Study of Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum Base on Phenotypic Traits and Molecular Marker
Abstract:Objective:Study the diversity of Coreopsis tinctoria by phenotypic traits and molecular perspective.Methods:Ten phenotypic traits of 120 samples which collected from 19 area were counted,and 14 ISSR primers were used to amplify the samples.The phenotypic traits and electrophoretic bands were counted artificially,SPSS 21.0 and PopGene 32 were used to analyse the statistical data.Results:The phenotypic traits diversity index that plant height was the highest traits,followed by corolla size,color difference and stem thickness.19 samples were cluster into two categories by SPSS 21.0,and almost the samples from high-altitude gathering together.ISSR-PCR amplification results showed that Coreopsis tinctoria had higher genetic diversity at the species level,and there were obvious genetic differentiation from different areas.The clustering results divided the sample of 19 collections into five categories,and samples at high altitudes such as Pishan city showed strong regionality in genetic level.Conclusion:The germplasm resources of Coreopsis tinctoria have differentiated regionally,phenotypic traits and ISSR molecular markers can be used to evaluate the germplasm resources.
