The Phylogeography of Deciduous Tree Ulmus macrocarpa (Ulmaceae) in Northern China.

ABSTRACT: Disentangling how climate oscillations and geographical events significantly influence plants' genetic architecture and demographic history is a central topic in phytogeography. The deciduous ancient tree species Ulmus macrocarpa is primarily distributed throughout Northern China and has timber and horticultural value. In the current study, we studied the phylogenic architecture and demographical history of U. macrocarpa using chloroplast DNA with ecological niche modeling. The results indicated that the populations' genetic differentiation coefficient (N_ST) value was significantly greater than the haplotype frequency (G_ST) (p < 0.05), suggesting that U. macrocarpa had a clear phylogeographical structure.
