Here, we used data generated from amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to address the biodiversity status and taxonomic relationships among 47 wild accessions representing 9 species of the genus Tulipa in Iran. A high level of genetic diversity within the genus was observed; the most distant taxa were T. humilis and T. schrenkii, while the highest degree of similarity was found between T. montana and T. biflora. Twelve AFLP primer sets amplified 342 fragments, of which 304 were polymorphic (88.1%). The average number of polymorphic bands per AFLP primer pair was 28.5. A hierarchical cluster analysis was carried out on the genetic profile of the taxa, and the results mostly reconfirmed the recognized taxonomy of the genus. However, we found evidence for recognition of a new subgenus for T. biebersteiniana.

从分子特征推断伊朗郁金香（百合科）的生物多样性状况

在这里，我们使用扩增片段长度多态性 (AFLP) 分析产生的数据来解决代表伊朗郁金香属 9 种的 47 个野生种质之间的生物多样性状况和分类关系。观察到该属内的高水平遗传多样性；距离最远的分类群是 T. humilis 和 T. schrenkii，而在 T. montana 和 T. biflora 之间发现的相似度最高。12 组AFLP 引物扩增了342 个片段，其中304 个是多态的（88.1%）。每个 AFLP 引物对的多态性条带平均数为 28.5。对该类群的遗传谱进行了层次聚类分析，结果大多再次确认了该属的公认分类学。然而，我们发现了识别 T. biebersteiniana 新亚属的证据。
