Analysis on genetic relationship of medicinal species of Dipsacus marked by ISSR, SCoT, and SRAP / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect the genetic relationship among nine medicinal species of Dipsacus in China. Methods The polymorphic bands were detected by three labeling methods (ISSR, SCoT, and SRAP). The genetic distances were calculated by TREECONW software and the systematic diagram of genetic relationship was clustered by UPGMA method. Results The percentage of polymorphism by ISSR, SCoT and SRAP markers showed little difference with value at 90.4%, 88.5%, and 88.2%, respectively, which indicated that the genetic polymorphism of the tested materials was very rich. The genetic distance between Dipsacus chinensis and D. japonicus was the largest, which indicated their genetic relationship was the most distant. Nine medicinal species of Dipsacus were all divided into three groups by three markers, that D. chinensi and D. lijiangensis, D. asperoides and D. japonicas were respectively clustered into one group, D. asperoides var. omiensis was alone clustered, the other four species were clustered into one group. The clustering results labeled by ISSR and SRAP were basically the same with a slight difference between D. daliensis and D. asperoides. Conclusion The clustering results by there markers was between well consistent with the classical classification, which confirmed that molecular markers can be used as one of the effective methods to reveal the genetic relationship among medicinal species of Dipsacus.
