Abstract:

The 292 pitaya(Selenicereus spp.)accessions were used as materials. Based on 19 phenotypic traits,24 candidate core collections were constructed using 4 sampling methods and six sampling ratios. The optimal core collection construction strategy was determined based on four evaluation indicators:Ratio of Phenotype Retained(RPR),Range Conformity Rate(CR),Variation Coefficient Change Rate(VR),and Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index(I). Accessions with specific traits were then selectively added to the core collection,resulting in a final core collection of 50 pitaya accessions,which accounts for 17.12% of the original collection. The evaluation indicators,including CRRPRI,and VR,were 100.00%,99.44%,1.80,and 131.52%,respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the core collection was evenly distributed in the sample distribution plot,covering the range of the original collection,and effectively reduced the overlapping portion of the original collection. Both the evaluation indicators and PCA results indicate that the core collection constructed in this study effectively preserved the genetic diversity of the original collection while removing redundancy.

Key words: pitaya, core collection, phenotypic traits
