Development of KASP markers, SNP fingerprinting and population genetic analysis of <i>Cymbidium ensifolium</i> (L.) Sw. germplasm resources in China.

ABSTRACT: Cymbidium ensifolium (L.) Sw. is a valuable ornamental plant in the genus Cymbidium, family Orchidaceae, with high economic and ecological significance. However, the lack of population genetic information and molecular markers has hindered the development of the sales market and genetic breeding of C. ensifolium despite the abundance of commercial cultivars available. In this study, we aimed to develop a set of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to distinguish the main cultivated C. ensifolium cultivars in China and provide technical support for domestic cultivar protection, registration, and market rights protection. A total of 1,280,516 high-quality loci were identified from 10,021,591 SNPs obtained by sequencing 50 C. ensifolium commercial cu
