Abstract

【Objective】Rubus chingii Hu is a traditional medicinal and edible plant in China with significant economic value. This study focuses on the genetic differentiation characteristics within a local small population of R. chingii using 50 germplasm accessions collected from Fuyang, Zhejiang, aiming to provide references for germplasm utilization and molecular breeding.【Method】We used transcriptome datasets from the thornless cultivar 'Meici' and a common genotype to mine SSR loci and design primers via MISA software. Fifty R. chingii germplasm accessions collected from Fuyang, Zhejiang were genotyped to screen polymorphic SSR markers and to assess genetic diversity. 【Result】A total of 2,507 SSR loci were identified from the transcriptome data. Of the eight SSR primer pairs designed, seven showed high polymorphism (PIC≥0.50). Population structure analyses (Structure, UPGMA, and PCoA) consistently revealed two well-defined groups. AMOVA showed that 99.09% of genetic variation occurred within groups, while differentiation among groups was low (Fst=0.019) with high gene flow (Nm=17.954), indicating weak differentiation but extensive exchange. The observed heterozygosity (0.601) was slightly higher than the expected heterozygosity (0.584), and the mean Shannon's information index was 1.225, suggesting rich within-population genetic diversity.【Conclusion】The eight SSR markers developed in this study can effectively evaluate the genetic diversity of R. chingii. The local small population exhibits abundant genetic variation, providing support for elite individual selection, thornless cultivar breeding, and germplasm innovation.
