SSR marker-based genetic diversity and structure analyses of <i>Camellia nitidissima</i> var. <i>phaeopubisperma</i> from different populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Camellia nitidissima var. phaeopubisperma is a variety in the section Chrysantha of the genus Camellia of the family Theaceae which is native to Fangchenggang, Guangxi, China. To date, the genetic diversity and structure of this variety remains to be understood.

Methods

In the present study, eight simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers previously screened were used to analyze the genetic diversity and structure of C. nitidissima var. phaeopubisperma natural populations from 14 growing areas in China, so as to determine the influence of environmental changes on genetic variations and provide the basis for introduction and selection of suitable growing sites of that variety.
