Abstract:

To determine the genetic diversity of kiwifruit ulcer pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) in Sichuan and the correlation between genetic group division and geographical origin, 40 Psa strains from different regions of Sichuan were used as the research materials, rep-PCR was used for molecular marker, and UPGMA clustering was conducted with NTSYS software. A total of 42 loci were obtained by 3 primer combinations (REP, ERIC and BOX), including 38 polymorphic loci, the rate of polymorphism was 90.5%. The results of UPMGA cluster analysis indicated that 40 Psa strains were divided into two groups (Ⅰ, Ⅱ) in the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.70, and 85.0% of the strains belonged to the Ⅱ group. The group Ⅰ contained two sub-groups (I-1, I-2) and the group Ⅱ consisted of five sub-groups (Ⅱ-1, Ⅱ-2, Ⅱ-3, Ⅱ-4, Ⅱ-5) in the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.80, but all strains had no obvious clustering of collecting locations. This study showed a rich polymorphism of Psa strains from different regions of Sichuan, but the genetic diversity had no significant correlation with geographical location.
