Abstract:In this study, a red-flesh and late-ripening mutant of Sanyue plum was obtained via 60Co-γ ray radiation. ISSR molecular marker technique was employed to study the variation of the mutant at DNA level. 14 primers with polymorphism selected from 22 primers were used to analyze the genetic differences among Sanyue plum, mutagenic materials had no significant variations with the mutant. The results indicated differences between the parent and the mutant could be detected with eight primers on the molecular level. The results propose that plum mutants obtained by irradiation can be distinguished by ISSR markers. The results could offer the references for early identification of radiation mutation breeding in plum.
