| Abstract | The aim of this study was to study diversityand genetic classification of Thai native buffaloesusing mitochondrial DNA marker. From 165 buffaloesof 6 different habitats of Thailand represented byChaingrai (C, n=30), Khon Kaen (K, n=39), Surin(S, n=29), Uthaithani (U, n=26), Nakhon Si Thammarat(N, n=17) and Trang province (T, n=24), 300 bpfragments of mtDNA (D-loop) were successfullyamplified. Analysis of mtDNA (D-loop) sequencesrevealed 7 different haplotypes resulting from 32polymorphic sites and one insertion-deletion. Thisresult showed that Thai native buffaloes haveflourishing of genetic diversity. The phylogenetictree analysis from Nei?s genetic distance andcharacteristics of habitat revealed that Thai nativebuffaloes could be classified into 3 groups: (1)mountain buffalo: the Chiangrai native buffaloes, (2)ocean buffalo: the Trang native buffaloes, and (3)river basin buffalo: the Khon Kaen, Surin, Uthaithani,Nakhon Si Thammarat native buffaloes. The analysisof genetic structure showed moderate geneticdifferentiation between six groups (Gst = 0.257). Theinformation generated by this study will greatly aidin the establishment of effective breeding programsand conservation genetics of Thai native buffaloes. |
