Maxim., and E. wushanense T. S. Ying, which are sympatrically distributed in the western Hubei Province, have been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for about 2,000 years. Genetic variability and population genetic structure of 11 natural populations of these Epimedium species were investigated using isoelectric focusing in thin-layer polyacrylamide slab gels. Of the 22 enzyme systems prescreened, six coding for 13 loci and 45 alleles were resolved, which were used for analyzing genetic diversity and population structure at both intraspecific and interspecific levels. The results showed that: l) high levels of genetic diversity were observed in all three species (A = 2.6-3.2, P = 69.2%-84.6%, Ho= 0.274-0.377, HE= 0.282-0.369), which were higher than that of other herbaceous and aulmal-pollinated species with similar life-history characteristics; 2) there was significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, with one half of the loci showing heterozygote excess and the other homozygote excess, in all populations, suggesting the complicated breeding system of Epimedium species; 3) the low level of intraspecific and interspecific genetic differentiation (GST= 0.0246-0.0409 and 0.0495-0.1213, respectively) indicated a high level of gene flow among populations and close genetic relationship among the three species; and 4) UPGMA cluster analysis further showed that E. pubescens was more closely related to E. sagittatum than to E. wushanense, which was in good agreement with the morphological characters and the recent phylogenetic analysis of these species. On the basis of these results, it was concluded that the mixed breeding system, long-lived perennial life form, ancient evolutionary history, and seed dispersal by ants in Epimedium are responsible for the genetic variation and population structure of these species.展开更多

文摘采用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法,对红花椒(陕西韩城、四川汉源、四川茂汶、甘肃武都)和青花椒(云南昭通、贵州关岭、四川金阳、四川汉源、重庆江津)9大主产地的80个样品中21个无机元素含量进行测定。采用主成分分析(principal component analysis,PCA)和偏最小二乘判别分析(partial least squaresdiscriminationanalysis,PLS-DA)对红花椒和青花椒中无机元素进行综合评价,PCA和PLS-DA将80个花椒聚为9组,PLS-DA分类效果更佳,并能将红花椒和青花椒有效区分,从元素组成角度揭示了红花椒和青花椒的亲缘关系和地域分布特征。研究证明多元素分析结合PLS-DA可作为一种花椒品种和产地识别的有效工具,对于产地溯源和品种鉴定具有重要意义。
