GENETIC DIVERSITY OF MANGROVE PLANT-Avicennia marina ALONG BEIHAI COAST BY RAPD
Random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD)technique was applied toanalyzing population genetics of native Avicennia marina,an wide spread species,whose natured population today is destroyed by mankind along Baihai,Guangxi coast.Leaf samples were collected form 30 natural trees in the native population and 15 arbitrary primers were used to amplify 73,71 and 68 bands that contain 28,25 and 20 polymorphic RAPD loci in three populations respectively.The mean genetic distance intra-populations were 0.165、0.147 and 0.108;while inter-population were 0.135、0.163 and 0.179.The results showing that either the intra-or inter-population genetic variety were low.
