Abstract: Genetic diversity of 17 goji (wolfberry) cultivars was analyzed by start codon targeted polymorphism (SCoT) molecular marker. Nineteen SCoT primers generating clear and reproducible bands were obtained through screening a total of eighty primers. A total of 96 bands were amplified, of which 71 (73.96%) were polymorphic. The value of polymorphism information content (PIC) varied from 0.055 (SCoT-29) to 0.239 (SCoT-66), with average of 0.132. Cluster analysis and principal coordinated analysis indicated that the genetic similarity (GS) varied from 0.43 to 1.00. All cultivars could be divided into three groups at the genetic similarity of 0.87. So SCoT markers could be effectively used to evaluate the genetic diversity of goji (wolfberry) cultivars germplasms. These results would provide references for protection and rational utilization of wolfberry cultivars.
