Abstract: Optimal reaction system of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for cpDNA in tea plants was investigated by orthogonal array design. Results showed that the optimal amplification system was 100 ng DNA template, 200 μmol/L dNTPs, 1.5 mmol/L MgCl2, 50 ng primer, 3U Taq DNA polymerase, and addition of ddH2O up to total volume of 25 μL. The optimal digestion system included 6 μL amplified product, 2 U endonuclease, 1 × endonuclease buffer in digestion solution, digestion time of 6 h and digestion temperature of 37 ℃, and addition of ddH2O up to total volume of 15 μL. Under the optimal reaction system, 30 camellia cultivars were analyzed and polymorphic digestion maps were obtained.
