Decomposition Method of Genetic Correlation Coefficient Based on NC Ⅱ Mating Design

There are different degrees of correlation between crop traits. The phenotypic correlation is decomposed into genetic and environmental correlation in quantitative genetics. In this paper,according to stochastic model of variance and covariance analysis,we calculate different genetic components,bring up a decomposition method of genetic correlation coefficient based on NC II mating design,and use examples to show analytic steps and interpret results.

Comparisons of Several Similarity Coefficients for Cluster Analysis of Hot Pepper Germplasm Resources

An appropriate genetic similarity coefficient is particularly important for accurately estimating the genetic similarity and phylogenetic relationship between individuals and evaluating the genetic diversity of populations. In this study, five genetic similarity coefficients were compared for analysis of phylogenetic relationship among 31 hot pepper inbred lines based on SRAP. The applicability of different genetic similarity coefficient was investigated by means of SRAP data of hot pepper inbred lines. According to the experimental results, the variation ranges of Nei ＆ Li, Jaceard, Sorensen, Simple matching and Yule coefficients were 0. 598 - 0. 973, 0. 427 - 0. 947, 0. 598 - 0. 973, 0.427 - 0. 947 and 0. 133 - 0. 997, respectively. Results of cluster analysis based on different similarity coefficients varied greatly. To be specific, clustering results based on Nei ＆ Li, Jaccard and Sorensen coefficients were consistent; clustering with Simple matching and Yule coef ficients led to consistent classification of category in different order and slightly different classification of subcategory. Comprehensively comparing the results of cluster analysis and the dendrograms of hot pepper inbred lines, Yule coefficient is suitable for SRAP analysis of hot pepper.

Microsatellite Marker-based Analysis of the Genetic Diversity of Yellow River Carp

To provide accurate base data about the genetic sourees of Yellow River carps, the genetic diversity in a^ficially bred population and wild population of Yellow River carps from Henan Province was analyzed with mierosatellite markers. The results showed that 16 alleles were detected at six microsateUite loci in each population. The average effective number of alleles （Ne） was 2. 350 in artificially bred population and 2. 085 in wild population. The observed heterozygosity （Ho） of artificially bred population, wild population and mixed population was 0. 614, 0. 576 and 0. 601 ; and the unbiased expected heterozygesity （ He ） was 0. 569, 0.535 and 0.559 ; and the polymorphism infonnatian content （PlC） was 0.474, 0.428 and 0.468, respectively. The PIC of the six loci ranged from 0.304 to 0. 864. The analysis of the genetic differentiation for the six microsatellitc loci in the two populations showed that the genetic differentiation coefficient （ F,, ） at only one microsatellite locus HLJ483 was greater than 0.05, and that at five rnicrosatellite loci were less than 0.05, which was consistent with the standard of non- genetic differentiation between populations （F,, = 0 -0.05）. The average F,, at the six loci was 0.02, and the gene flow value （Nm） at all loci was greater than 1 and the average of Nm was 12.202. The results indicate that there is relatively abundant genetic diversity in Yellow River carps.
