Abstract
92 individuals in six natural populations of Torreya grandis in China were selected and investigated for discussion on phenotypic diversity within and among populations.Analysis on 8 traits of needle,fruit and seed demonstrated that there was significantly difference among and within populations.The mean phenotypic differentiation coefficient showed that the variation within populations(89.25)was higher than that among populations(10.2%).The variation in traits of fruit width was the lowest(CV = 13.95%) and in the traits of seed weight was the highest(CV = 34.71%).According to the average coefficient of variation,different populations had a descending order: Huangshan,Pan’an,Shengzhou,Zhongjialing,Dongbaihu,Shaoxing.According to the UPGMA cluster analysis,the six populations could be divided into three groups.
