Population genomics highlights structural variations in local adaptation to saline coastal environments in woolly grape

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 66(7), P. 1408 - 1426

Published: April 5, 2024

ABSTRACT Structural variations (SVs) are a feature of plant genomes that has been largely unexplored despite their significant impact on phenotypic traits and local adaptation to abiotic biotic stress. In this study, we employed woolly grape ( Vitis retordii ), species native the tropical subtropical regions East Asia with both coastal inland habitats, as valuable model for examining SVs adaptation. We assembled haplotype‐resolved chromosomal reference genome grape, conducted population genetic analyses based whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data from populations. The demographic revealed recent bottlenecks in all populations asymmetric gene flow population. total, 1,035 genes associated adaptive regulation salt stress, radiation, environmental were detected underlying selection by SNPs population, which 37.29% 65.26% SNPs, respectively. Candidate such FSD2 , RGA1 AAP8 tolerance found be highly differentiated selected during process habitats SV regions. Our study highlights importance adaptation; candidate related stress climatic environments important genomic resources future breeding programs grapevine its rootstocks.

Actinidia arguta, the most widely distributed and second cultivated species within genus, has distinguished difference from current kiwifruit in biological characters like small smooth fruit, rapid-softening excellent cold tolerance. Knowledge of adaptive evolution tetraploid genetic basis its important agronomic traits is still unclear. A chromosome-scale genome assembly an autotetraploid male A. arguta been generated. The was 2.77 Gb length with a contig N50 9.97Mb anchored into 116 pseudo-chromosomes. Resequencing clustering 101 geographically representative accessions showed they could be divided two geographical groups, Southern Northern Groups, which first diverged 12.9 Mya ago. underwent prominent expansions one demographic bottleneck mid-Pleistocene climate transition (MPT) to late-Pleistocene. Population genomics study using paleoclimate data allow us discern adaptation different historical environments.

Population sequencing of cherry accessions unravels the evolution of Cerasus species and the selection of genetic characteristics in edible cherries

Molecular Horticulture, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 5(1)

Published: Jan. 8, 2025

Abstract Cerasus is a subgenus of Prunus in the family Rosaceae that popular owing to its ornamental, edible, and medicinal properties. Understanding evolution identifying selective trait loci edible cherries are crucial for improvement cherry cultivars meet producer consumer demands. In this study, we performed de novo assembly chromosome-scale genome sweet ( avium L . ) cultivar ‘Burlat’, covering 297.55 Mb consisting eight chromosomes with 33,756 protein-coding genes. The resequencing population structural analysis 384 representative accessions revealed they could be divided into four groups (Group 1, Group 2, 3, 4). We inferred 1 was oldest Groups 4 were clades derived from it. addition, found sweeps fruit flavor improved stress resistance different varieties P. , cerasus pseudocerasus Transcriptome significant differential expression genes associated key pathways, such as sucrose starch metabolism, fructose mannose pentose phosphate pathway, between leaves fruits This study enhances understanding evolutionary processes provides resources functional genomics research cherries.
