Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Genus Camellia, more than 250 species distribute in East and South-East Asia. But in Vietnam, number of species and its distribution were unclear because of war for a long time. By our 3 times explorations, 62 species, 598 individuals of wild Camellia were found and recorded from all over Vietnam. Among these accessions, 25 species, 29 populations originated from Southern area were analyzed using 13 SSR markers. Each population showed high genetic diversity, low allelic richness and thought to be highly homozygous. Result of AMOVA analysis indicated genetic differentiation among populations. Results of STRUCTURE analysis did not support the traditional taxonomic system. But some morphological traits in flower and leaf showed correlation with expected ancestral population. Thus these characteristics could be a key for species identification. More than 30 % of habitats are facing to the risk of environmental destruction, therefore conservation is urgently required.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ベトナム全土を網羅した学術調査は今回が初めてで、62種の分布を明らかにし、各集団の構造解析の結果に基づいて、保全が急務であることを示した。分子マーカーを用いた解析結果は従来の分類体系を支持しなかったが、葉と花のいくつかの形質が種の識別マーカーとなる可能性を示した点は、系統関係再考に重要な知見と考える。
ツバキ属植物は主にチャ、ツバキ油、鑑賞用に利用されてきたが、黄花種の薬用利用など、あらたな利用が増えている。ベトナムではチャ以外の種を飲用に供している地域もあった。今後に利用可能な遺伝資源として、早急な保全により絶滅を回避し、系統関係を明らかにすることが重要である。
