Genetic Diversity Analysis of Potato Varieties in the Northern Hebei Province Based on DUS Testing Traits
In this study,the genetic diversity and phenotypic characters of 39 potato varieties suitable for planting in northern Hebei were analyzed by potato DUS test traits.The results showed that 209 allelic variations were detected in 44 DUS test traits,with an average of 4.75 alleles per trait.There were 34 traits with diversity index greater than 1,including 30 quantitative traits and 4 pseudo-quality traits.There were 10 traits with diversity index less than 1,including 6 quantitative traits,2 pseudo-quality traits and 2 quality traits.The correlation analysis of traits showed that the color of tuber epidermis and the color of bud eye base were highly correlated with the color intensity of anthocyanin on the upper surface of the main vein of compound leaves.Cluster analysis showed that 39 varieties were divided into 3 groups,and each group had its own unique phenotypic characteristics,and the charac teristic traits of each group were consistent with the guidelines.The study showed that the DUS test traits had large quantity and high diversity,which could be used for a more comprehensive and objective evaluation of potato variety resources.
