Genetic diversity of the cultivated Salvia miltiorrhiza populations revealed by four intergenic spacers.

ABSTRACT: For better understanding the genetic diversity and phylogeny of the cultivated Salvia miltiorrhiza populations, four intergenic spacer sequences, ETS, psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF, and ycf1-rps15 of the 40 populations collected from China were Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplified, analyzed both individually and in combination. Haplotype diversity analysis showed that the cultivated S. miltiorrhiza populations had a very rich genetic diversity and an excellent capacity to resist environmental pressure. The best-fit nucleotide substitution models for ETS, psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF, ycf1-rps15, and their combined sequences were HKY+I, T92, T92, T92+G, and T92+G, respectively; the nucleotide conversion frequency in the combined sequences was lower than the transversion, and the relatively high nucleot
