Abstract:
During the investigation and collection of
Bletilla striata resources, it was found that many characteristics of
Bletilla striata such as flower type, flower color, florescence, leaf shape and so on had great variation degrees. In this study, we collected 30 accessions of
Bletilla striata resources from Sichuan and Yunnan province, cloned and analyzed their nrDNA ITS and chloroplast
ycf1 gene differences, and found that
ycf1 gene has little difference and ITS gene has large difference. According to the differences of ITS sequences,
Bletilla striata was clustered into 3 branches. Combined with the apparent characteristics of
Bletilla striata, it was found that the ITS sequences of
Bletilla striata had obvious correlation with florescence and leaf type, but had no obvious correlation with other characteristics such as flower type and color. This study provided a theoretical basis for the collection, development and utilization of
Bletilla striata germplasm resources.
