AFLP analysis of 28 Phyllostachys bamboo species including Moso bamboo
Amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP) was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 28 Phyllostachys bamboo species including Moso bamboo. Fourteen primer pairs with higher polymorphic were selected. 785 loci were examined for molecular variation and 654 loci were polymorphic, accounted for 83.31% of total loci. The AFLP data were analyzed using POPGENE1. 32 software, and the results showed as follows. The observed number of alleles was 1.8303; the effective number of alleles was 1.4211; the Nei 's gene diversity index was 0.2551; Shannon information index was 0.3913, and the 28 bamboo species were divided according to the UPGMA cluster analysis.
