Abstract:

Abstract: Diversity of 6-Corylus-species distributed in China was analyzed by 11 SSR markers isolated from C. avellana. A total of 81 alleles were amplified by 11 high informative SSR primer pairs from 34 DNA templates of the accessions tested. Number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 13 with an average value of 7.36. Average value of polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.73,ranged from 0.47 to 0.86 Sequencing the PCR amplified DNA showed there existed microsatellites of C.avellana in 6-Corylus-species. Other short tri-nucleotide repeat sequence also exhibited variable in repeat numbers at CAC C28 locus. In addition,the average Nei's gene diversity index was 0.59 for all the loci of three species, including Corylus heterophylla,Corylus mandshurica and Corylus heterophylla var. sutchuenensis, which were of potential commercial value. This study demonstrated that the silver-staining SSR was a useful tool for genetic diversification, source conservation, variety identification and construction of molecular map among species of the genus Corylus.
