玉米自交系遗传变异的RFLP分析

利用ＲＦＬＰ标记研究了１３个玉米（Ｚｃａ ｎａｙｓ Ｌ．）自交系的遗传变异。从３０对探针／酶组合中筛选出杂交带型清晰、稳定、重复性好的２４对组合，在１３个自交系中获得８５个等位基因杂交片段，平均每个位点为３．３条，平均多态性指数为０．４９９。１３个自交系之间的遗传相似系数为０．５２３－０．８０２，平均为０．６４９。ＵＰＧＭＡ聚类分析表明，供试自交系共分为５个类群，分群结果与其系谱关系基本吻合；表明

RFLP Detection of Genetic Variation of Maize Inbred Lines

Genetic similarities of 13 inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L.) were analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). The objectives of the study were to detect genetic similarities among 13 inbreds and to assign them to heterotic groups. By means of 24 probe_enzyme combinations (PECs) selected for locus specificity, clear patterns and reproducibility, 85 alleles were found with an average of 3.3 alleles per locus. The allelic frequency data were used to estimate genetic similarities among lines, and as a result the diversity index of 0.499 was obtained. Genetic similarities between the pairs of 13 lines ranged from 0.523 up to 0.802 with an average of 0.649. The UPGMA clustering algorithm analysis classified the 13 lines into five groups, which generally corresponded to known maize heterotic groups based on pedigree information. The authors concluded that RFLP_based markers could be used for investigating genetic relationships between maize inbred lines and assigning them to heterotic groups, but it seemed that a large number of PECs were needed to obtain reliable estimates of genetic similarity.
