Abstract Taxus cuspidata is a rare plant with important medicinal and ornamental value. Aiming at the obvious differences between wild and cultivated populations of T. cuspidata from Northeast China, a total of 61 samples, that is, 33 wild yews and 28 cultivated yews were used to analyze the differences and correlations of the kinship, genetic diversity, and genetic structure between them by specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq). Finally, 470725 polymorphic SLAF tags and 58622 valid SNP markers were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 61 samples were classified into 2 clusters: wild populations and cultivated populations, and some… More >

Abstract Duyun Maojian tea is a famous tea in China. In this study, the specific-locus amplified fragment (SLAF) sequencing method was used to analyze the population structure and conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2 leaf traits of 123 tea plants in Qiannan, China. A total of 462,019 SLAF tags and 11,362,041 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci were obtained. The results of phylogenetic tree analysis, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis showed that 123 tea germplasms were clustered into three groups, and the heterozygosity rates for Groups I, II, and II were 0.206, 0.224, and 0.34,… More >
