Popis: Coix lacryma-jobiL. is an important minor cereal with a high nutritional and medicinal value in Asian countries. The hilly region of South China is the secondary center of diversity ofCoix lacryma-jobiL. In the present study, we took a sample of 139Coix lacryma-jobiL. genotypes from four geographical regions in Southwest China and analyzed the genetic diversity and population structure using AFLP markers. Six primer combinations detected a total of 743 (89.52%) polymorphic loci. The percentage of polymorphic bands within the four geographical populations ranged from 56.02% (Guangxi) to 86.75% (Guizhou). The overall genetic diversity of 139Coix lacryma-jobiL. was relatively low (hranged from 0.1854 to 0.2564). The neighbor-joining method grouped allCoix lacryma-jobiL. genotypes into two clusters with no geographical affinity observed among genotypes within the same group. The Fst indicated the two clusters existed great genetic differentiation. AMOVA analysis showed the molecular variation within populations was much higher than that among populations of geographical regions and subpopulations derived from STRUCTURE. Human activities and the natural outcrossing system ofCoix lacryma-jobiL. may have a great influence on its distribution, genetic diversity, and population structure. Our study provides useful information for local breeding programs ofCoix lacryma-jobiL. as well.
