[Genetic diversity of Fagoyrum tataricum cultivated in north Liangshan Prefecture of Yi Nationality, Sichuan, China].
In the present paper is stated the accomplishment of the studies of 17 populations of cultivated Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn. from the counties of Yuexi and Ganluo in North Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture of Yi Nationality, Sichuan Province, China by means of starch gel electrophoresis and cluster analysis of agrobiology features. Seven enzymes, and 15 loci were assessed. The result shows that the genetic diversity of F. tataricum within population is higher than in the South Prefecture and in species F. esculentum from other areas. The A, P, Ho and He are 1.9, 52.1%, 0.190 and 0.262 respectively. The FST is 0.199 which is close to the average level of wild plants. A conservation strategy of the genetic resource of F. tataricum is suggested. Two populations of local variety "Youchiqiao" have the richest genetic diversity, P = 60.0%, Ho = 0.260 and 0.301 and they should be protected particularly. Two populations of local variety "Xiaomiqiao" with higher genetic diversity, as well as three populations of local varieties of "Qiukuqiao", "Equkuqiao" and "Geluokuqiao" with special genetic position should be protected too.
