| Abstract | Gentiana straminea Maxim. is an outcrossing perennial from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) that undergoes some selfing. This species has become threatened in recent years because of over-collection for medicinal use. A complete understanding of the partitioning of genetic variation between populations is needed to establish effective conservation measures for this species. In this study, we used RAPDs to quantify the genetic diversity of seven populations in the core distribution of G. straminea. Of the 78 primers screened, 15 produced highly reproducible bands. Using these primers, 127 discernible DNA fragments were generated, of which 110 (86.61%) were polymorphic, indicating considerable genetic variation at the species level. However, there were relatively low levels of polymorphism at the population level, with the percentage of polymorphic bands and the average gene diversity ranging from 43.31% to 51.18% and from 0.175 to 0.200, respectively. The correlation between gene diversity and population size was only marginally significant. High genetic differentiation was found between populations (Nei's genetic diversity analysis: G(ST) = 0.408; AMOVA analysis: Phi(ST) = 0.413). These differentiation measures were higher than that expected for an outbreeding species and the higher level of genetic partitioning between G. straminea populations may be a result of the combined effects of geitonogamous selfing, complex geography and past climatic oscillations. The high genetic differentiation detected between populations suggests that as many populations as possible should be included in any in situ or ex situ conservation program for this species. |
