Abstract

To apply random amplified polymorphic DNA for analysis of phylogenetic relationships, we used 34 synthetic oligonucleotides as primers to examine interspecific and intraspecific variations among 18 genotypes, nine species ofNicotiana. The nine species used in this study belong to sectionsTomentosae andAlatae. In addition, we attempted to clarify the taxonomic position ofN. sylvestris. A total of 354 distinct DNA fragments were obtained by polymerase chain reaction. Pair-wise comparisons of unique and shared amplification products were used to generate Jaccard's similarity coefficients and Nei and Li's similarity coefficients with the computer software of numerical taxonomy and multivariate analysis system. On the basis of the dendrogram constructed with the similarity coefficients, the 18Nicotiana genotypes were divided into two clusters. The classification analyzed by RAPD markers is in accordance with the classification of Goodspeed thatN. sylvestris is a member of sectionAlatae.
