RAPD and SRAP analysis on species of Rosaceae family reveal taxonomic status of Pentactina rupicola endemic to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
摘要
Pentactina rupicola Nak. 1917 is an endemic species of DPR Korea belonging to the Rosaceae. Molecular phylogenetic research was carried out on 11 species of 6 genera distributed in DPR Korea in the Rosaceae involving P. rupicola. Molecular phylogenetic trees on these species were obtained using ITS, rbcL, and matK gene sequences previously reported in NCBI and was compared with the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) tree based on random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. Phylogenetic tree and STRUCTURE analysis support the taxonomic status of the P. rupicola as a single species of one genus in this family. These results suggest that the phylogenetic status of P. rupicola can be elucidated using RAPD and SRAP markers in addition to DNA barcoding genes.
