AFLP와 RAPD 방법을 이용한 꼬리진달래(Rhododendron micranthum) 수집종의 유전적 변이 분석

초록

Rhododendron micranthum is an endangered species in Korea. In order to develop the strategy of gene diversity conservation, estimation of the amount of genetic diversity, the genetic variation and relationship in the native populations of Rh. micranthum was performed on the basis of AFLP and RAPD analysis. Analysis of 56 accessions derived from 6 populations of Rh. micranthum with four AFLP primer combinations and ten RAPD primers detected a total of 33 polymorphic AFLP fragments and 15 polymorphic RAPD fragments, respectively. By UPGMA cluster analysis with molecular markers, the 56 accessions were grouped into three major clusters at 73.3% genetic similarity; group I consists of most accessions of populations I, II, IV, V and Vl, group II consists of 7 accessions of population III, and group III consists of only two accessions of population IV. The geographic locations of the most accessions derived from six populations were not related to their position in the UPGMA cluster analysis, except for several accessions of populations III and IV. The genetic similarity of among six populations measured by AFLP and RAPD markers ranged from 0.66 to 0.99. Among them, population VI showed the highest GS with means of 0.87, while population I showed the lowest GS with means of 0.78. This result will be useful for designing the strategy of conservation in the native populations of Rh.micranthum.
