Using landscape genomics to assess local adaptation and genomic vulnerability of a perennial herb Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (Vitaceae) in subtropical China.

ABSTRACT: Understanding adaptive genetic variation of plant populations and their vulnerabilities to climate change are critical to preserve biodiversity and subsequent management interventions. To this end, landscape genomics may represent a cost-efficient approach for investigating molecular signatures underlying local adaptation. Tetrastigma hemsleyanum is, in its native habitat, a widespread perennial herb of warm-temperate evergreen forest in subtropical China. Its ecological and medicinal values constitute a significant revenue for local human populations and ecosystem. Using 30,252 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) derived from reduced-representation genome sequencing in 156 samples from 24 sites, we conducted a landscape genomics study of the T. hemsleyanum to elucidate it
