Cephalotaxus mannii Hook.f. is one of 15 species of conifer in the Central Highlands. Cephalotaxus mannii is a scarce medicinal conifer endemic to the south central region of China and Vietnam. In Vietnam, although widely distributed species (Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Thua Thien Hue, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Lam Dong...) but is considered rare and vulnerable by the indiscriminately exploitation of people. In this study, 18 SSR markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 34 individuals C. mannii collected in Ta Nung and Hiep An of Lam Dong province. The results showed 12/18 polymorphic markers. Among 36 DNA amplified fragments, 24 were polymorphic (66.66%). Genetic diversity in Hiep An population (h = 0.269; I = 0.449 and PPB = 72.22%) was higher than that of Ta Nung (h = 0.433; I = 0.264 and PPB = 66.67%). The total level of molecular variance (AMOVA) among populations was 27.74% and among individuals within the populations was 72.26%. The average of gene flow value (Nm) of the species C. mannii populations was 3,310. Both Ta Nung and Hiep An populations had Wright’s inbreeding coefficient Fis <0 (- 0.244, - 0.052, respectively) and the private allele (Ap) (0.222, 0.333, respectively). A dendrogram constructed based on similarity matrix of 34 C. mannii samples divided into two main groups with their genetic similarity coefficient ranged from 65% (Cpm31 and Cpm32) to 100% (Cpm16 and Cpm17, Cpm21 and Cpm22). Molecular analysis results showed that C. mannii species should be protected at the population level.

The two techniques, ISSR (27 markers) and SSR (20 markers), were used to compare the effectiveness and to assess genetic diversity of 70 Dacrydium elatum samples collected in Lam Dong, Kon Tum, Dak Lak, and Gia Lai. The results showed 38/47 polymorphic markers (23/27 ISSR and 15/20 SSR markers) and 180 amplified DNA fragments, in which 85/127 (66.93%) and 46/53 (86.79%) were polymorphic for ISSR and SSR markers, respectively. Generally, the average values among the genetic diversity parameters of the populations for SSR (Hj = 0.213; Ne = 1.566, I = 0.444; He = 0.301; h = 0.228; and PPB = 72.50%) were higher than those for ISSR (Hj = 0.155; Ne = 1.142, I = 0.125; He = 0.083; h = 0.074 and PPB = 25.07%). The correlation coefficient between genetic distance measured with ISSR and combining ISSR + SSR was higher (r = 0.92) than that measured with SSR and combining ISSR + SSR (r = 0.65). There was not much difference in the total level of molecular variance (AMOVA) among populations and among individuals when analyzing ISSR and SSR data separately or combining both data. The three dendrograms constructed based on similarity matrix generated by ISSR, SSR and ISSR + SSR data were similar and they all divided the 70 D. elatum samples into two main groups with genetic similarity coefficients ranged from 74 to 99%, 78.4 to 100% and 76 to 96.6%, respectively. The obtained results indicated D. elatum species should be protected at the population level.

Keteleeria evelyniana Mast. is a big softwood species with high economic values. Therefore, the number of these trees are rapidly decreasing due to rampant exploitation as well as its habitat loss and recently, the species is considered vulnerablein Vietnam. In this study, we assessed the genetic variation among seventy K. evelyniana samples of three natural populations in Lam Dong, Dak Lak and Kon Tum using 16 microsatellite markers. The results showed that thirteen markers were polymorphic. A total 39 DNA fragments were amplified, among them, thirty – five were polymorphic (accounting for 89.74%). Among studied populations, the level of genetic diversity at Lam Dong (Na = 2.063; Ne = 1.730; Ap = 0.375; I = 0.558; Ho = 0.459 and He = 0.367) was the highest. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that the total level of molecular changes between populations was 34.65% and between individuals in the same population was 65.35%. Private alleles (Ap) and inbreeding values (Fis) of K. evelyniana species were founded of all three populations in Lam Dong, Dak Lak and Kon Tum (0.375 and -0.234; 0.188 and -0.065; 0.063 and -0.047, respectively). The gene flow (Nm) also occurred among the K. evelyniana populations with the average of Nm = 5.423. A dendrogram (UPGMA) constructed based on the similarity matrix of 70 K. evelyniana samples divided into two main groups with their genetic similarity coefficient ranged from 76.5% (Ke26 and Ke44) to 99% (Ke23 and Ke25). The obtained results indicated the importance of conserving the genetic resources of K. evelyniana species in Tay Nguyen.

Pinus armandii subsp. xuannhaensis L.K. Phan is a new five needle pine discovered recently from Xuan Nha Nature Reserve, Son La province. This subspecies is considered as a narrow endemic to Vietnam and is assessed as endangered. In this study, 15 ISSR markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of this taxon collected in five subpopulations (Tan Xuan, Thac Nuoc, Dinh VTV2, Near VTV2 and Dinh Pomu). Results of the analysis showed 15/15 markers were polymorphic. A total of 51 DNA fragments were amplified, in which 50 fragments were polymorphic (98.04%). Genetic diversity was the highest in Dinh Pomu subpopulation (I = 0.555; h = 0.8; PPB = 68.76%; Ne =1.6 and He = 0.4)) and the lowest in Tan Xuan subpopulation (I = 0.428; h = 0.6; PPB = 57.06%, Ne = 1.215 and He = 0.303). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) results showed that the total level of molecular changes between subpopulations was 7% and between individuals in the same subpopulation was 93%. A constructed dendrogram based on similarity matrix of 71 Pinus armandii subsp. xuannhaensis L.K. Phan samples divided the samples into two main groups with genetic similarity coefficients ranged from 0.53 to 0.96. Results of the molecular analysis showed that Pinus armandii subsp. xuannhaensis L.K. Phan species should be protected at the population level.

Kolaka, which is located in Southeast Sulawesi, has long been known as one of cacao production centers in Indonesia. Therefore, many different cacao germplasms can be found in this region. The study aimed to evaluate genetic diversity and relationships of 12 cacao genotypes collected from Kolaka. Genomic DNA was extracted by using a modified CTAB method. Meanwhile, genetic diversity was analyzed based on 16 SSR markers, which then separated by 6% non-denaturing polyacryl-amide gel electrophoresis. The result showed that all of those markers, 14 markers exhibited polymorphism and subsequently used for data analysis using NTSYS and PowerMarker program. About 70 different alleles were generated from 12 cacao genotypes analyzed with an average of 5 alleles per locus. Average value of polymorphism information content (PIC) resulted in this study was 0.59. The cluster analysis using UPGMA method based on the genetic similarity coefficient revealed that all cacao genotypes were separated into three major groups. The first group consisted of five cacao genotypes, the second one held four cacao genotypes, whereas the third group contained three genotypes. This result indicates that three genotypes that clustered separately from the others could be used as a good clonal candidate for cacao breeding program. The information resulted from this present study would be useful for future cacao breeding program, especially in efforts to release a new variety.

In this study, simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 48 wild Vitis davidii accessions. A total of 78 distinct alleles were amplified by 11 SSR primers, and the average allele number was 8.8. The average observed heterozygosity (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) values were 0.785 and 0.814, respectively. The effective allele numbers ranged from 3.92 to 9.61. The average polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.798. Twelve of 169 SRAP primer combinations were selected for SRAP analysis. A total of 188 bands were produced, and the average was 15.7 bands per primer combination; the average percentage of polymorphic bands was 84.0%. The average PIC was 0.76. The results of the clustering analysis based on SSR markers showed that the 48 wild V. davidii accessions could be classified into five main clusters and had a genetic similarity coefficient level of 0.68. The dendrogram obtained from the SRAP data showed that 48 wild V. davidii accessions could be classified into five main clusters and had a genetic similarity coefficient of 0.72. SSR and SRAP markers differentiated all accessions studied including those with a similar pedigree. We speculated on the origin of Ciputao 0941♀, Ciputao 0940♂, and Fu’an-ci-01 using SSR markers and used both SSR and SRAP markers to resolve homonymy. The result will be valuable for further management and protection of V. davidii germplasm resources.

Osmanthus serrulatus Rehder (Oleaceae) is an endemic spring-flowering species in China. It is narrowly distributed in the southwestern Sichuan Basin, and is facing the unprecedented threat of extinction due to problems associated with natural regeneration, habitat fragmentation and persistent and serious human interference. Here, the genetic diversity and population structure of 262 individuals from ten natural populations were analyzed using 18 microsatellites (SSR) markers. In total, 465 alleles were detected across 262 individuals, with a high polymorphic information content (PIC = 0.893). A high level of genetic diversity was inferred from the genetic diversity parameters (He = 0.694, I = 1.492 and PPL = 98.33%). AMOVA showed that a 21.55% genetic variation existed among populations and the mean pairwise Fst (0.215) indicated moderate genetic population differentiation. The ten populations were basically divided into three groups, including two obviously independent groups. Our results indicate that multiple factors were responsible for the complicated genetic relationship and endangered status of O. serrulatus. The concentrated distribution seems to be the key factor causing endangerment, and poor regeneration, human-induced habitat loss and fragmentation seem to be the primary factors in the population decline and further genetic diversity loss. These findings will assist in future conservation management and the scientific breeding of O. serrulatus.

Calycanthus chinensis Cheng et S.Y. Chang, a tertiary relic species in China, is a shade-loving and deciduous bush withan elegant shape and beautiful flower of high ornamental value. It was widely planted in gardens and miniature scapes in China.The objective of this study was to characterize the genetic variation and structure in the three extant populations of the species, in order to provide useful information for a future conservation strategy. Twenty-two of 120 RAPD primers were selected and a total of 257 stable and clear DNA fragments were scored. Calycanthus chinensis showed a lower level of genetic diversity. At the population level, the percentage of polymorphic loci, Nei's gene diversity and Shannon’s information index were 40.9%, 0.1641 and 0.2386, respectively; while at the species level, the corresponding values were 59.1%, 0.2097 and 0.3123, respectively. The estimates of genetic differentiation based on Shannon’s information index (0.2360), Nei’s gene diversity (0.2175) and AMOVA (24.94%) were very similar, and significantly higher than the average genetic differentiation reported in outcrossed spermatophyte. So it suggested high genetic differentiation emerged among populations of C. chinensis. Genetic relationships among populations were assessed by Nei’s standard genetic distance, which suggested that the Tiantai population was genetically distinct from the other two populations. Moreover, the genetic distance was significantly correlated with geographical distance among populations (r = 0.997, t > t0.05). The gene flow (Nm) was 0.8994, indicating that gene exchange among populations was restricted. A conservation strategy was proposed based on the low gene flow and habitat deterioration, which are contributing to the endangered status of this species. Key words: Genetic diversity, endangered plant, population genetics, RAPD
