Key points

  • OBJECTIVE: To analyze the genetic diversity of medicinal fungus of 27 strains of Cordyceps militaris
  • METHODS: Unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means( UPGMA) and principal coordinate analysis( PCoA) were used to determine the genetic diversity of 27 Cordyceps militaris strains based on start codon targeted polymorphism( SCoT)
  • RESULTS: Based on eight informative primers,a total of 59 bands were produced,and 94. 33% of them were polymorphic
  • The results suggested that great genetic diversity existed in Cordyceps militaris
  • Basically,27 strains were separated into six groups using UPGMA method,while three groups when using PCoA method,which showed that genetic diversity of Cordyceps militaris samples were related to their geographical origins
  • CONCLUSION: SCoT markers are informative and could be used to detect polymorphism for medicinal fungus of Cordyceps militaris strains

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the genetic diversity of medicinal fungus of 27 strains of Cordyceps militaris.

METHODS: Unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means( UPGMA) and principal coordinate analysis( PCoA) were used to determine the genetic diversity of 27 Cordyceps militaris strains based on start codon targeted polymorphism( SCoT).

RESULTS: Based on eight informative primers,a total of 59 bands were produced,and 94. 33% of them were polymorphic. The average of polymorphism bands was 6. 875. The results suggested that great genetic diversity existed in Cordyceps militaris. Basically,27 strains were separated into six groups using UPGMA method,while three groups when using PCoA method,which showed that genetic diversity of Cordyceps militaris samples were related to their geographical origins.

CONCLUSION: SCoT markers are informative and could be used to detect polymorphism for medicinal fungus of Cordyceps militaris strains.
