Study on Phenotypic Diversity of Fruits and Seeds of Wild Cardiocrinum giganteum in 5 Regions
The Cardiocrinum giganteum is an East Asian plant species that possesses both ornamental and medicinal values,making it highly potential for development and utilization.In the study,the wild populations of the Cardiocrinum giganteum across 28 locations in five regions:Sichuan,Hubei,Hu'nan,Shaanxi,and Yunnan were investigated and the phenotypic diversity within these populations was studied.The results revealed that there was a significant diversity in fruit and seed-related pheno-typic traits among the Cardiocrinum giganteum.The coefficient of variation for the weight of one hundred seeds was relatively high,exceeding 30％.Traits such as the number of fruits per plant and the number of seeds per fruit also had coefficients of variation greater than 20％.In contrast,the phenotypes related to seeds showed the least variation,indicating that the genetic variation in seeds was relatively stable and less influenced by environmental factors.
