Water temperature and chlorophyll a density drive the genetic and epigenetic variation of Vallisneria natans across a subtropical freshwater lake.

ABSTRACT: Plant genetic diversity differs in habitat's oscillations, especially species distributed under heterogeneous environmental conditions. Freshwater ecosystems are vulnerable to biotic and abiotic impacts, which affect the genetic and epigenetic variations in aquatic plants. The extent of environmental heterogeneous attributes can be examined based on genetic and epigenetic variations. Such variations under environmental gradient can provide evidence for understanding the correlations between rapid environmental changes and species evolution. In this study, we performed amplified fragment polymorphism length and methylated-sensitive amplified polymorphism analysis to depict the genetic and epigenetic variations of Vallisneria natans in a subtropical lake. Results showed that this spec
