RAPD analysis of nine populations of medicinal mulberry cultivated in Xinjiang / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To study the inherited relationships among nine medicinal mulberry populations cultivated in different regions of Xinjiang at DNA level Methods DNA of all populations was amplified by ten random primers from 100 ramdom primers, the polymorphic bands of RAPD were counted And the results of populations were analyzed by clustering analysis NTSYS PC software Results A total of 108 bands was obtained, 91 of total bands (84 26%) was polymorphic The results indicated that there were apparent and abundant genetic variations in Morus L of Xinjiang Besides, eight specific bands of M nigra were obtained Conclusion The genetic relationship among medicinal resources plants of mulberry in Xinjiang indicats by the RAPD analysis to be consistent with their traditional classifications in the main
