Genetic characteristics of endemic Prunus tomentosa in China based on microsatellites.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prunus tomentosa Thunb, a fruit tree native to China, is an important and excellent plant material. It exhibits high adaptability to almost all soil types and climatic conditions. The germplasm resources are found in the six geographical regions of China, covering a vast expanse, and comprise a variety of ecological types. However, little is known about genetic diversity and population structure, with its abundant genetic information. Nuclear simple sequence repeat markers, with biparentally inherited characteristics, is powerful for evaluating the genetic diversity of population. Therefore, this research assessed the genetic diversity and population structure of P. tomentosa by collecting extensive samples. The finding will contribute to not only proposing scientific co
