PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily identifying the tree species of an interspecific hybrid of a eucalyptus plant.SOLUTION: The method for identifying the species of the interspecific hybrid of the eucalyptus plant using a plurality of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) includes steps of amplifying regions each containing SNP1 to SNP17 with the genomic DNA of the hybrid as a template, determining the sequence of amplified products to determine each base of SNP1 to SNP17, and specifying the parent species of the hybrid based on a diagram that represents relationships between the SNPs and tree species. A kit including a PCR primer set for use in this method is also provided.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】ユーカリ属植物の種間雑種の樹種を容易に識別する方法を提供する。【解決手段】ユーカリ属植物の種間雑種の樹種を複数の一塩基多型(SNP)を利用して識別する方法であって、該方法は、該雑種のゲノムDNAを鋳型にしてSNP1~SNP17の各々を含む領域を増幅する工程、増幅産物を配列決定しSNP1~SNP17の各塩基を決定する工程、及びSNPと樹種との関係を示す表に基づいて該雑種の親種を特定する工程を含む方法、並びに、このような方法に使用するためのPCRプライマーセットを含むキット。【選択図】なし
