The aim of this study was to obtain the molecular marker of Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata based on DNA sequence data of PCR- sequencing and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), and to evaluate the genetic diversity of populations of Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata and molecular phylogeny of T. cryptomerioides and Taiwania flousiana Gaussen. The sequence data based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of a total of 108 samples of T. cryptomerioides were determined. Eight different populations of T. cryptomerioides and 12 samples of T. flousiana from Yunnan, China were analyzed. The finding of the study showed that heterogeneity of ITS region within individuals of T. cryptomerioides was high by showing high nucleotide diversity among ITS sequences both in T. cryptomerioides ( £k = 0.18153) and T. flousiana ( £k = 0.19751). The findings fit in Tajima¡¦s D test of neutrality based on DNA sequence variation in the ITS region of T. cryptomerioides and T. flousiana. It is not obvious to incorporate into different population through clustering analysis based on data of the ITS region of T. cryptomerioides and T. flousiana. However, slightly genetic differentiation between T. cryptomerioides and T. flousiana was found, which figured of Fst (Fst = 0.0441~ 0.0856, an average value = 0.0611). On the other hand, the samples were studied by using ISSR markers. Of the 100 primers screened, 4 produced highly reproducible ISSR bands, and 24 discernible DNA fragments were generated with 17 being polymorphic. Based on cluster analysis of molecular data, the cluster is not clear among populations of T. cryptomerioides and T. flousiana. The analysis of AMOVA revealed that the variance component between species of T. cryptomerioides and T. flousiana was 38.54¢H (P < 0.001); however, the variance component within species is 61.46 (P < 0.001). The variation within population of T. cryptomerioides was 84.74¢H (P < 0.001) and the variance between populations is 15.26¢H (P < 0.001), indicating that the genetic diversity of individuals within population was high. The aforementioned data suggest that gene flow among different populations of T. cryptomerioides was high, indicating that the genetic diversity was high among individuals of T. cryptomerioides but was low between populations. Furthermore, it is concluded both species are genetically closer and could be grouped into the same species.
