Abstract:
The genetic diversity and cluster analysis of the 202 Morinda citrifolia germplasm resources were analyzed by using ISSR molecular markers. The results showed that 13 ISSR primers which amplified 65 loci, meaned the average of each primer could amplified five loci. Among them,63 bands (96.92%)were polymorphic. Cluster analysis result indicated that 202 germplasm resources could be clustered into five groups when the genetic similarity coefficient was 0.63, revealedthe characteristics of geographical distribution. The average of Shannon information index (I) , Neis genetic diversity (H) and effective number of alleles (Ne) was 0.5206, 0.3488 and 1.6042, respectively, which indicated there was highly genetic diversity in these 202 Morinda citrifolia resource .
