AFLP analysis of genetic diversity in wild species of Mains

摘要

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marks were used to assess the level of polymorphism in wild Malus. Three primer combinations were used to detect a total of 229 AFLP fragments in 23 wild species and 8 varieties, with 217 fragments (94.8% of the total observed) being polymorphic. The data analysis by the treecrown software package showed that AFLP was an efficient and reliable technique and a promising tool for taxonomy studies. The relationships of interspecies of wild Malus are discussed.
