摘要
Background Euphorbia resinifera is a melliferous, medicinal, and endemic plant to Morocco. Nevertheless, its ecological and genetic diversity still unknown. The objective of this study is to analyze the diversity and genetic structure of Moroccan wild populations of E. resinifera using ISSR markers. Twelve natural populations collected from its geographical range in Morocco were analyzed using 14 ISSR primers. Results A total of 125 bands were obtained, with polymorphism of 74.81%. The polymorphic information content (PIC), resolving power (Rp), Shannon’s information index (I), and total genetic diversity (Ht) were 0.33, 2.8, 0.35, and 0.21, respectively. The analysis of molecular variance showed that 75.56% of the total variability is present within populations and that 24.44% exists among populations. Also, the analysis showed a very low genetic differentiation between groups of mountain range type (FCT = 0.066), mountain versant type groups (FCT = −0.024), and altitude groups (FCT = −0.022). Moreover, the geographical distances between populations are correlated with their corresponding genetic distances according to the Mantel test ( r = 0.507; P < 0.0001). Conclusion These results suggest that the population structuring follows a model of isolation by geographical distance. Indeed, the genetic structuring of populations into two groups obtained from PCoA and structure analysis revealed a dependence on the geographical origin of the populations. By contrast, the genetic distances are not correlated with the altitude.
