Global climate change is leading to rapid and drastic shifts in environmental conditions, posing threats biodiversity nearly all life forms worldwide. Forest trees serve as foundational components of terrestrial ecosystems play a crucial role combating mitigating the adverse effects extreme events, despite their own vulnerability these threats. Therefore, understanding monitoring how natural forests respond key priority for conservation. Recent progress evolutionary genomics, driven primarily by cutting-edge multi-omics technologies, offers powerful new tools address several issues. These include precise delineation species units, inference past histories demographic fluctuations, identification environmentally adaptive variants, measurement genetic load levels. As urgency deal with more stresses grows, genomics history, local adaptation, future responses change, conservation restoration forest will be critical research at nexus global population biology.

Domesticated grapevines spread to Europe around 3,000 years ago. Previous studies have revealed genomic signals of introgression from wild cultivated grapes in Europe, but the time, mode, pattern, and biological effects these events not been investigated. Here, we studied resequencing data 345 samples spanning distributional range (Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris) (V. vinifera) grapes. Based on machine learning-based population genetic analyses, detected evidence for a single domestication grapevine, followed by continuous gene flow between European (EU) over past ~2,000 y, especially EU wine We also inferred that soft-selective sweeps were dominant artificial selection. Gene pathways associated with synthesis aromatic compounds enriched regions both selected introgressed, suggesting an important resource improving flavor Despite potential benefits grape improvement, introgressed fragments introduced higher deleterious burden, most SNPs structural variants hidden heterozygous state. Cultivated benefited adaptive grapes, has increased load. In general, our study beneficial harmful is critical breeding grapevine take advantage resources.

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.

Abstract Introgressive hybridization is widespread in wild plants and has important consequences. However, frequent between species makes the estimation of species’ phylogeny challenging, little known about genomic landscape introgression as it results from complex interactions multiple evolutionary processes.

We found that regions low showed reduced levels incomplete lineage sorting introgression, concentrated phylogenetic signals, thus contributing to most likely tree strawberries. revealed across genus Fragaria, an average proportion approximately 4.1% extant genome.

The reuse of old genetic variation can promote rapid diversification in evolutionary radiations, but most cases, the historical events underlying this divergence are not known. For example, ancient hybridization generate new combinations alleles that sort into descendant lineages, potentially providing raw material to initiate divergence. In Mimulus aurantiacus species complex, there is evidence for widespread gene flow among members radiation. addition, allelic MaMyb2 responsible differences flower color between closely related ecotypes subspecies puniceus, contributing reproductive isolation by pollinators. Previous work suggested was introgressed red-flowered ecotype puniceus.
