Abstract:

To determine the variation degree and law of twig and leaf phenotypic traits in different elite germplasm of Rubus chingii, the phenotypic variations of 10 twig and leaf phenotypic traits of 20 selected accessions were analyzed by variance analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis, and the cluster grouping phenotypes were evaluated. The results showed that the phenotypic traits of Rubus chingii varied widely, the coefficient of variation ranged from 10.22% to 46.63%, and the average coefficient of variation was 22.02%. The average coefficient of variation of RC17 and RC01 were 18.79% and 11.27% respectively. Principal component analysis showed that the cumulative contribution rate of the first three principal components was 79.04%, and that of the first principal component was 42.61%.The 20 germplasms of Rubus chingii were divided into 3 groups, including 10 in clusterⅠ, 9 in cluster Ⅱ and 1 in cluster Ⅲ. There were significant (P<0.05) differences in leaf vein angle and lobed number between cluster Ⅰ and cluster Ⅱ. The differences of ground diameter, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, leaf fissure width and leaf vein angle between cluster Ⅰ and cluster Ⅲ were also significant (P<0.05). The significant (P<0.05) difference was also observed in ground diameter, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, width of leaf lobes and number of leaf lobes between cluster Ⅱ and cluster Ⅲ. It was concluded that this study would not only provide data basis for resource conservation and core collection construction, but also provide reference for description and efficient utilization of new variety breeding.
