Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to establish a reliable core germplasm population of Phyllostachys edulis (Moso bamboo), promoting its effective utilization and facilitating molecular genetics research. Method: In this study, a total of 432 P. edulis germplasm accessions were targeted, and a stepwise systematic clustering analysis was conducted based on 15 phenotypic traits with an overall sampling rate of 10%. The sampling scheme for core germplasm was optimized from multiple dimensions, by incorporating two genetic distance calculation methods, three sampling techniques, and seven clustering algorithms. After determining the optimal sampling scheme, eight sampling proportions were set to screen the best overall proportion, and the effectiveness of group-based sampling was compared with direct sampling without grouping. Finally, the representativeness of the core germplasm was comprehensively evaluated through a multi-indicator assessment system. Result: The study found that a combination of 10% sampling ratio, priority sampling method, Euclidean distance method, and minimum distance method was the optimal strategy for constructing the core germplasm of P. edulis. The core germplasm constructed by ungrouped sampling (NGcore) exhibited a higher variance difference percentage (VD) than that constructed with grouped sampling (LCore and PCore), indicating better performance. T-tests, coincidence rate tests, and principal component analysis of the phenotypic traits demonstrated that the selected 43 core accessions effectively avoided genetic redundancy and adequately represented the original germplasm. Conclusion: This study has successfully constructed a core germplasm that represents the phenotypic diversity of the original P. edulis germplasm, laying a foundation for the collection, conservation, and effective utilization of germplasm resources.
