Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to reveal the genetic structure and geographic variation characteristics of Liriodendron populations, in order to provide a basis for the conservation, utilization and improvement of genetic resources of Liriodendron. Method: A total of 97 samples derived from 9 provenances of Liriodendron chinensis and 46 samples derived from 4 provenances of L. tulipifera were collected. The SNP markers of the samples were identified by RAD-Seq sequencing. The observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), nucleotide diversity (π), gene differential coefficient (Gst) and other genetic statistics were calculated to analyze the genetic diversity and genetic structure of Liriodendron provenances. Result: A total of 4 454 high quality SNP markers were identified in the 143 samples of Liriodendron. There were Liriodendron maintained moderate genetic differentiation and medium level gene flow among provenances of L. chinensis (Gst=0.241 9, Nm=0.805 1). There were large genetic differentiation and low level gene flow among L. tulipifera provenances (Gst=0.388 6>0.25, Nm=0.397 0). The 13 Liriodendron provenances were divided into 3 subgroups by population structure analysis. Among them, 9 provenances of L. chinensis were divided into eastern provenances (group 2) and western provenances (group 1), and the other provenances belonged to group 3 and they are all L. tulipifera. The order of genetic diversity was: group 3 > group 1 > group 2. Conclusion: The formation of genetic structure of Liriodendron is related to its geographical isolation and fragmented distribution, and there are endangered phenomena caused by small population effect and fragmentation. The SNP markers developed in this study can provide a reference basis for molecular identification, germplasm innovation and collection and preservation of germplasm resources of Liriodendron.
