Objective:
The DNA fingerprints of Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats were generated by using SRAP markers to find the feasibility in analyzing their relationship.
Methods:
The DNA polymorphism of Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats were detected by SRAP molecular markers.
Results:
We had screened five pairs of primer combinations, and built the DNA fingerprints of Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats. The phylogenetic clustering results revealed that the genetic difference in Curcuma wenyujin from various habitats were little.
Conclusion:
SRAP markers may offer some evidence for protecting and exploiting of Curcuma wenyuji.
