Abstract:

To study the genetic diversity of astringency in walnut germplasm resources,118 germplasm resources from 4 different astringency walnut populations were used as materials,which was studied by using SSR capillary electrophoresis fluorescence labeling technology,and the dendrogram of 4 populations was constructed.The results showed that a total of 93 allelic variants were detected by 12 pairs of primers,ranging from 2 to 18,with an average of 7.75 alleles detected by each pair of SSR primers.Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.357 9 to 0.785 2,with an average of 0.541 1.The number of polymorphic sites (Np) was 91,the percentage of polymorphic sites (PPB) was 97.85%,the number of observed alleles (Na) was 1.978 5,the effective number of alleles (Ne) was 1.198 5,Shannon's information index (I) was 0.209 7,Nei's diversity index (H) was 0.126 3,number of total genetic diversity index (Ht) was 0.126 7 and intra-population genetic diversity index (Hs) was 0.122 2,indicating that the genetic diversity and variation of the four walnut populations were not high.The coefficient of genetic differentiation among populations was 0.035 5,indicating that the genetic variation within populations was 96.45%.The percentage of polymorphic loci in the slightly astringent population was the largest,which was 72.04%,indicating that the slightly astringent population had the richest genetic diversity among the four populations.UPGMA cluster analysis showed that the genetic identity between four populations ranged from 0.989 8 to 0.997 1,indicating that the genetic distance among four populations was close.The four populations can be divided into two groups at the coefficient of 0.993 4.The first group included unastringent,slightly astringent and more astringent populations,with the astringent populations as a separate group.By calculating the gene frequency of 93 locis in different populations,41 locis of 12 pairs of SSR primers were found to be able to distinguish the resources with different levels of astringency.SSR capillary electrophoresis fluorescence labeling technology was used to analyze the genetic diversity related to astringency in 4 walnut populations.According to the transcriptomic sequencing results,12 pairs of primers were selected for SSR analysis.A total of 93 SSR locis were amplified,and the percentage of polymorphic sites was 97.85%,indicating that the primers had high polymorphism and were suitable for genetic diversity analysis of walnut,which can be used for subsequent studies on genetic diversity and breeding of astringency in walnut.
