Evolutionary Histories of <i>Camellia japonica</i> and <i>Camellia rusticana</i>.

ABSTRACT: The genus Camellia is widely distributed, primarily in East Asia. Camellia japonica is located at the northern limit of this genus distribution, and understanding changes in its distribution is crucial for understanding the evolution of plants in this region, as well as their relationship with geological history and climate change. Moreover, the classification of sect. Camellia in Japan has not been clarified. Therefore, this study aims to understand the evolutionary history of the Japanese sect. Camellia. The genetic population structure was analysed using SNP data and MIG-seq. The relationship between the Japanese sect. Camellia, including the related species in China, was further inferred from the phylogeny generated by RA x ML, SplitsTree and PCA. Pop
