[Method] 5 Litchi cultivars from Sichuan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan were used as experimental materials to extract genomic DNA by modified CTAB method. Twenty primers with well reproducibility were randomly selected to conduct RAPD amplification to analyze the polymorphism and genetic relationship of the five cultivars. [Result] The polymor- phism of the five Litchi cultivars was 61%, with the similarity coefficient of 0.571 4- 0.803 6. The similarity coefficient of those from Guangdong and Guangxi was the largest of 0.803 6, and from Sichuan and Hainan was the lowest of 0.571 4. The resolution and production of RAPD was significantly improved by appropriately pro- longing the ramp time from annealing to extension to 0.3℃/s. [Conclusion] This study provided theoretical basis for the classification and breeding of Litchi.展开更多
