121 wild goji berry(Lycium barbarum L.)germplasms were collected as materials,9 pairs of SSR primers were used of am-plification,and polymorphism was analyzed using GeneALEX and Power Marker software.Genetic diversity analysis,cluster analy-sis,and principal component analysis were performed using NTSYS and STRUC-TURE software.The results showed that a total of 108 alleles were detected using 9 pairs of SSR primers.The number of alleles(Na),effective alleles(Ne),observed heterozygosity(Ho),expected heterozygosity(He),polymorphic information content(PIC),and Shannon's information index were 12,4.620,0.678,0.651,0.629,and 1.568,respectively;the clustering results showed that 121 wild goji berry germplasms could be divided into 5 sub-groups.The genetic structure of the population showed that when K=5,121 germplasms could be divided into 5 subgroups.The genetic distance between NXGY-02 and NXGY-03 germplasms from Ningxia and 6 germplasms from Inner Mongolia was the farthest,and the genetic relationship was relatively distant,there was extensive gene exchange among other wild goji berry germplasms from Qinghai Province,Xinjiang,Gansu Province,and Inner Mongolia;the wild goji berry germplasms in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia had the possi-bility of independent origin and evolution,while the germplasms in Xinjiang,Gansu,and Qinghai provinces were closely related to the germplasms in Ningxia and were likely to belong to the same origin.
