Abstract: The genomes of 11 provenances of Acacia mearnsii Willd were tested by RAPD with 22 random primers.It could be seen from the electrophoretogram of agarose gel that different primers amplified DNA bands ranging from 1 to 7, and that primer 428 amplified only 1 band and primer 17 amplified 7 bands.The dendrogram was established based on the DNA bands of the amplified products which showed diversity among different provenances.The results showed no significant correlations between provenances’hardiness with their geographical longitude, latitude or elevation.
