Abstract:

Objective Analyze genetic diversity of wild and landrace potato species at the molecular level and establish a fingerprint database for potato germplasm resources. Method SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) molecular markers was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 73 wild potato and landrace potato species preserved at the CIP-China Center for Asia Pacific. Result The genetic diversity analysis revealed an average number of alleles (Na) of 1.843 7, Nei’s gene diversity index of 0.065 9, Shannon’s information index of 0.128 6, and an average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.848 4, indicating high polymorphism but low genetic differentiation among the 73 germplasm resources. The germplasms were classified into seven subpopulations by Structure analysis, whereas they were divided into four groups via UPGMA clustering. Conclusion Five pairs of core primers are selected from 14 SSR primers, enabling complete differentiation of all 73 accessions. These primers were used to construct unique DNA fingerprints for the 73 wild and landrace potato accessions. This work provides a theoretical foundation and technical framework for future germplasm identification and screening systems in potato breeding.
