Abstract:

Objective Lilium longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’ belongs to the Lilium longiflorum hybrid lily, and clarifying differences between L. longiflorum and L. longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’ will lay the foundation for their identification and development. Method Using classical measurements, chromosome tableting and ISSR marker methods were used to systematically analyze the morphological characterization, karyotype and genetic variation respectively. Result Morphological observations showed that the leaves of L. longiflorum were much narrower and the capsule length slightly increased than those in L.longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’, while there were no significant differences in plant height, flowering diameter, flowering time, bulb weight and the outer scale weight. The projected area of pollen grains in L. longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’ was much larger than that of L. longiflorum, of which the highest number was distributed between 8 700-8 900 μm2, accounting for 14.4%. Leaf epidermal cells and stomatas of L. longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’ were significantly wider than those in L. longiflorum. Karyotype analysis showed that L. longiflorum and L. longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’ were both diploids, with the chromosome formula 2n=2x=24. The karyotype formula of L. longiflorum was 2n=2x=24=2m+6sm+10st+6t, and that of L. longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’ was 2n=2x=24=2m+4sm+16st (2SAT) +2t, and karyotype asymmetry coefficient was much greater in the latter. ISSR marker analysis indicated that L. longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’ experienced a genetic variation at a rate of 20.00% compared to L. longiflorum control. Conclusion There were significant differences in leaf morphology, pollen grains, karyotype and molecular genetic levels between L. longiflorum and L. longiflorum ‘Snow Queen’, providing basic information for their identification and development in future.
