The genetic relationships among 19 pollination- constant and non- astringen
t (PCNA) cultivars and 14 non-PCNA cultivars of persimmon (Diospyros kaki T
hunb.), including one Chinese PCNA cultivar 'Luo Tian Tian Shi', were analy
zed by comparing 138 AFLP markers. A phylogenetic tree constructed based on
the similarity indices of these AFLP markers indicated a close relationshi
p among Japanese PCNA cultivars, but a more distant relationship with the C
hinese PCNA cultivar 'Luo Tian Tian Shi'. The close relationship between PC
NA cultivars native to Gifu prefecture was distinct, indicating that these
cultivars developed from crosses among restricted sources in this region. T
he cultivars 'Gosho', 'Hana-gosho', 'Oo-gosho', and 'Yamato- gosho' showed
a close relationship with some non-PCNA cultivars.
