A Molecular Phylogenetic Study of the Genus Phedimus for Tracing the Origin of "Tottori Fujita" Cultivars.

ABSTRACT: It is very important to confirm and understand the genetic background of cultivated plants used in multiple applications. The genetic background is the history of crossing between maternal and paternal plants to generate a cultivated plant. If the plant in question was generated from a simple origin and not complicated crossing, we can easily confirm the history using a phylogenetic tree based on molecular data. This study was conducted to trace the origin of "Tottori Fujita 1gou" and "Tottori Fujita 2gou", which are registered as cultivars originating from Phedimus kamtschaticus. To investigate the phylogenetic position of these cultivars, the backbone tree of the genus Phedimus needed to be further constructed because it retains inarticulate phylogenetic relationships among the wild spec
