Abstract
Aoki (Aucuba japonica) is a broad-leaved evergreen tree and has wide habitat in Japan; from southern west part of Hokkaido to Okinawa islands. This species has been used for greening as well as for gardening. In many cases, producers pick up some "mother trees" which have valuable characters for cloned production and selling. With that, we focused on the commercial distribution of Aoki in terms of genetic origins. We analyzed the ploidy and variations of chloroplast DNA to estimate the sources of the Aoki produced in Kyushu district. The results showed 1) in Kyushu most producers employed cuttage method 2) 74% of stock trees were introduced from outside Kyushu. From these results, one hypothesis can be suggested that other species for greening that have smaller natural distribution and be produced in commercial supply cycle have some bias on their genetic origins.
