Abstract
Twenty-two sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), 46 taros (Colocasia esculenta) and 10 arrowheads (Sagittaria trifolia) were used as materials and combined with EST-SSR (expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats) primers developed by our laboratory. Core primers were screened from a large number of primers that were able to distinguish all materials with a high frequency of polymorphisms. Six pairs, twenty pairs and three pairs of core primers were screened from sacred lotus, taro, and arrowhead, respectively. The SSR fingerprints of these three important aquatic vegetables, producing 17-, 87- and 14-bit binary molecular identity cards, respectively, were separately determined by using the core primers. Since there were few core primers of sacred lotus and arrowhead, 3 and 9 primer pairs with higher polymorphic information content (PIC), respectively, were selected as candidate primers. These core and candidate primers were used to identify the purities of No.36 space lotus, Shandong 8502 taro and Wuhan arrowhead, which were 93.3% (84/90), 98.9% (89/90) and 100.0% (90/90), respectively. The fingerprints, displayed as binary molecular identification cards of three important aquatic vegetables, were obtained, and their purity was successfully determined with EST-SSR labeling technology. Phylogenetic trees were also constructed to analyze the genetic diversity of 22 sacred lotus, 46 taros and 10 arrowheads. This study classifies and identifies germplasm resources and is an important reference to test the authenticity and variety purity of other aquatic vegetables in the future.
