Abstract: In this study, the ISSR-PCR reaction system was established, optimized and then used to analyze the genetic coefficient and the subfamily composition of Bombus hypocrita Pérez.The optimized reaction system was established as follows: 1×PCR buffer, 0.3 mmol/L dNTP, 1.25 μmol/L primer, 3 mmol/L Mg2+, 2.5U Taq polymerase and 8.18-23.76 μg/mL DNA. Our results indicated that ISSR markers obtained with this optimized system could be effectively used to analyze the genetic coefficient and subfamily composition.
