Study on EST-SSR Genetic Characteristics of Medicinal Parts of Different Varieties of Rehmannia glutinosa
Objective The interspecific genetic characteristics of"Huaizhong No.1"a new variety of Rehmannia glutinosa and 4 mainstream varieties of medicinal parts in genuine producing area were studied by using the EST-SSR molecular marker method.Methods Optimizing the DNA extraction method to extract the DNA from the medicinal parts of R.glutinosa,the SSR-PCR primers of R.glutinosa were selected,Popgene32 software was used to calculate the genetic distance and genetic similarity coeffi-cient for analysis,and Ntsyspc2.1 was used to perform cluster analysis on the amplification results of R.glutinosa.Results The results showed that 5 pairs of primers with polymorphism were selected from 68 pairs of primers.A total of 97 bands were ampli-fied,including 78 polymorphic bands,the ratio of polymorphic bands was 80.41%.And the number of alleles detected by each pair of primers ranged from 10 to 21,with an average of 15.6.Effective alleles were 1.1697~1.3332,Nei's gene diversity was 0.0980~0.1980,Shannon index was 0.1461~0.3023,and the genetic distance of different breeds were ranged from 0.0665 to 0.1523.The cluster analysis results showed that when the coefficient of genetic similarity was 0.74,the 5 varieties were divided into 3 groups,Detoxification Beijing No.3 and Huaifeng were grouped together,Beijing No.3 and Jinjiu were grouped together,and Huaizhong No.1 was grouped separately.Conclusion The EST-SSR molecular marker method can be used to identify the genetic relationship between the medicinal parts of different varieties of R.glutinosa,and provide a scientific research basis for the study of genetic stability of R.glutinosa and variety identification.
