Abstract:

Mating system is the basic property of plant populations and biological foundation for germplasm preservation as well as genetic improvement. In this study we applied developed 8 microsatellite loci with high polymorphism to analyze 50 half-sib progenies from each of 3 independent flowering culms of Phyllostachys edulis. The results showed that flowering culms in three different locations were fertilized with foreign pollen, which generated progenies with different microsatellite genotypes and genetic diversity. The overall estimates of outcrossing rate tm of single-locus and ts of multi-locus for the three culms were 0.089, indicating that the reproductive system of P. edulis predominantly involved in self-fertilization with a certain proportion of outcrossing to produce genetic diverse progenies. This is the first report so far on estimation of outcrossing rate for monopodial bamboo species such as P. edulis by DNA molecular markers.

Key words: Phyllostachys edulis, microsatellite, genetic diversity, mating system, rate of outcrossing
