In order to learn distribution and genetic relationship of Curculigo Gaertn. germplasm resources, the genetic diversity of 134 wild samples from 13 populations of Curculigo Gaertn. in Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Jiangxi were studied by ISSR technique. Total 256 discernible bands with good reproducibility were amplified by 15 screened primers, and the percentage of polymorphic bands reached 91.79%. At the population level, percent of polymorphic bands (P) ranged from 4.69% to 29.30%, and Shannon’s information index (I) ranged from 0...
