[Analysis of genetic difference among Scrophularia ningpoensis cultivars by SRAP].

OBJECTIVE

The genetic difference among Scrophularia ningpoensis cultivars were analyzed in molecular level.

METHOD

Ninety-two individuls of three S. ningpoensis cultivars were employed to be analyzed by the approach of Sequence-related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP).The parameters were calculated by POPGENE1.31 and the relationship was constructed based on UPGMA method.

RESULT

1. A total of 227 bands were scored and 199 bands of them were polymorphic. 2) The result is showed that there is a medium level of genetic diversity among three cultivars. At species level: percentage of polymorphic loci PPB=52.42%, effective number of alleles N(e)=1.2812, Nei's gene diversity H=0.1671 and Shannon's information index H(sp)= 0.2526; At cultivar level: PPB=21.44%, N(e)=1.1216, Nei's gene diversity H=0.0725 and Shannon's information index H(pop)= 0.1083. 3) The Nei's coefficient of genetic differentiation was 0.5625, which was consistent with the Shannon's coefficient of genetic differentiation (0.5713). Most of the genetic variation existed among cultivars. 4) The gene flow (N(m)=0.3889) was less among cultivars, indicating that the degree of genetic differentiation was higher. 5) Genetic similarity coefficient were changed from 0.8082 to 0.9133. By clustering analysis, the classified result of SRAP marker between traditional modal character was almost same.

CONCLUSION

The genetic diversity of samples of S. ningpoensis is medium. The genetic difference among cultivar is higher than that within cultivar.
