Abstract:

The SSR fingerprint map and genetic diversity of 68 rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) accessions were studied using 10 pairs of selected polymorphic SSR primers. The results indicated that all the primers showed polymorphism, and 20 polymorphic alleles were revealed and the average polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.393. The genetic similarities among accessions ranged from 0.290 to 0.664, on which a phylogenetic tree showing the relationship among the accessions was constructed. A strategy of combining primer pair with distinct alleles for fingerprint construction was developed and applied to the 68 cultivars. The DNA fingerprinting provides a technical reference for the varieties identification and molecular breeding in rambutan.

Key words: Nephelium lappaceum L., SSR, DNA fingerprint
