Abstract:

The genetic diversity of 90 Camellia oleifera clones was investigated and the relationship between these clones was analyzed using RAPD technique. Correlations between three quantitative traits (disease resistance, the rate of oil and oil yield) and molecular markers were also analyzed. The results are as follows: The total number of amplified fragments is 593, among which there are 564 polymorphic bands, the percentage of polymorphic bands is 95.11%. There are 32 distinctive bands(including missing distinctive bands),accounting for 5.32% in total bands. Abundant genetic diversity exists among C. oleifera clones.‘Yangchun’ and ‘Ruanzhi’ of C. oleifera aggregated in the same subgroup, indicating that they have close relationship, and could be the same agronomic cultivar at molecular level. Bands related to disease resistance, the rate of oil and oil yield account for 13.1%, 25.2% and 34.5% respectively, and could be used as reference in selecting resistant C. oleifera cultivars with both high quality and high yield.
