Abstract
The genetic diversity of wild blue honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) native to northeastern China was assessed by RAPD technology.
Sixty plants of 6 populations were analysed using 27 random primers.
A total of 186 loci were detected among which 121 loci (65.05%) were polymorphic.
Most of the variation was intra- population.
The RAPD analysis showed that the smaller genetic distance was between the populations Yabuli and Yuchi while Wangqing and Mohe were the more distanced.
The six populations were clustered into 3 groups: the populations of Boli, Wangqing, Yabuli and Yuchi clustered in a first group; the Wuying population formed the second group while the Mohe population, genetically more distanced from the other populations, formed the third main branch of the dendrogram.
