Abstract:Objective: To provide basis for utilization and development of germplasm resources of Rosae Laevigatae Fructus. Method: Totally 20 germplasms of Rosae Laevigatae Fructus were collected from Zhejiang, Chongqing, Hunan, Shanxi, Guangdong, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces of China. Subsequently, longitude and latitude, elevation and agronomic traits were recorded and measured, while polysaccharose contents were measured by phenol-sulfuric acid method. The data obtained were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 and DPS 9.05 software with ANOVA and UPGMA methods respectively. Result: There were significant differences in agronomic traits and polysaccharose contents among Rosae Laevigatae Fructus from different origins (P<0.01), and polysaccharose content of germplasm in Zhejiang was relatively high. Meanwhile, there were variation rules between polysaccharose contents as well as agronomic traits and biotope factor. In particular, there were significantly positive relations between polysaccharose content as well as ratio of length and width of leaves, ratio of vertical and lateral diameter of fruit and longitude, with negative relations with lateral diameter of fruit, and low relations with weight of fruit and fruit fresh, and latitude. What's more, 10 characters were simplified to 4 principle components, with the accumulative contribution rate up to 94.69%. Besides, 20 germplasms were divided into 5 groups. Among them, the first group showed a higher ratio of length and width of leaves and ratio of vertical and lateral diameter of fruit, with a higher polysaccharose contents. The fourth and fifth groups showed a broad and thick leave area, low ratio of length and width of leaves, large fruit and higher ratio of vertical and lateral diameter of fruit. Conclusion: Five germplasms with superior agronomic traits and four germplasms with higher polysaccharose content have been selected, and could be used for breeding high-yield and high-quality Rosae Laevigatae Fructus.
