Abstract:

Objective The genetic diversity of Angelica pubescens germplasm resources was analyzed, a core collection was constructed, and molecular markers associated with the contents of active ingredients were screened, so as to lay the foundation for the breeding of A. pubescens varieties. Method A differential analysis of the contents of active ingredients in 96 germplasms of A. pubescens was conducted, and 8 ISSR core primers was used to analyze the genetic structure and core collection construction. Talssel software was used to perform association analysis between ISSR markers and active ingredients. Result The variation in the phenotype and the content of active ingredients of A. pubescens is rich, and the population structure analysis can divide the materials into 3 subgroups. Gen Al Ex software analysis shows that the genetic diversity of the three subgroups of A. pubescens is relatively high, and the variation occurs mainly within the subgroups. By using a sampling ratio ranging from 15.6% to 58.3%, we constructed a core collection of 37 samples representing the original population. The association analyses of FarmCPU, GLM, and MLM models indicate that the content of CBD is significantly positively correlated with 3 markers (UBC 812, UBC 816, UBC 819) (P<0.05); CBT content is significantly correlated with UBC 816, UBC 817; IPT content is extremely significantly positively correlated with UBC 819 (P<0.01); OST content is significantly correlated with UBC 819 (P<0.05); UMB content is positively correlated with UBC 810, UBC 812 markers. OHN content is only found to be significantly correlated with UBC 816 in the GLM model. Conclusion The germplasms of A. pubescens can be divided into 3 subgroups, and the constructed core collection of 37 samples can represent the genetic diversity level of the original population, and 6 ISSR molecular markers associated with the content of active ingredients are screened.
