[ISSR analysis for genetic polymorphism of Aconitum leucostomum from different habitats]
Objective:
To investigate the genetic diversities and variations of Aconitum leucostomum,and to supply essential characteristics for identifying Aconitum crude drugs.
Methods:
Plant genome extraction kit was applied to extract DNA,and ultraviolet spectrophotometer was used to detect the concentrations and purity of DNA. 60 ISSR primers were screened to analyze the DNA of Aconitum leucostomum from 10 habitats. Biosoftwares including POPGEN32 and NTSYS-PC were used to analyze the polymorphic bands obtained, and hence to yield the genetic similarity coefficient of the 10 habitats and map the related graphics, and cluster analysis were performed by UPGMA method.
Results:
11 primers selected from 60 ISSR primers were used for amplification and a total of 101 DNA bands were obtained, including 89 polymorphic bands,the average percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) was 88.1%. Shannon information index (I) was 0.5298, the genetic similarity coefficient (H) was 0.3648, observed number of alleles was 1.8911, and effective number of alleles was 1.6555. The genetic identity was from 0.4950 to 0.6931, and the genetic distances were from 0.3666 to 0.7031. According to cluster analysis result of ISSR, the 10 habitats of Aconitum leucostomum were classified into five groups.
Conclusion:
Germplasm resources of Aconitum leucostomum show abundant polymorphism and higher genetic variation, which might supply molecular level basis, and provide basis for building DNA fingerprint.
