| Abstract: |
| In this study，6 growth traits of Melia azedarach seedlings from 10 provenances in China were
measured，and the genetic variations of growth traits from different provenances were analyzed. The results showed
that variance coefficient of growth traits ranged from 12.31%～68.11%，and there were highly significant differences
among the 5 growth traits except the tree stem straightness，which indicated that the selection of provenances for
Melia azedarac had great potential. As a whole，the geographic variation trend of growth traits was not obvious，with
the random variation mode. There were no significant differences for seed and plant growth traits among different
provenances. The heritability of the five growth traits apart from straightness was more than 45%，which indicated
that the growth traits of M. azedarach were controlled by genetic factors to a certain degree. In addition，there was
no significant correlation between the height and ground diameter of plants and geographic factors. However，there
was significantly positive correlation between the ground diameter and annual precipitation. In this experiment，four
superior provenances（Wuzhou，Nanchang，Xingning，Xinxian）were screened out according to plant height. |
