Low genetic diversity and weak population structure of Albizia odoratissima on Hainan Island.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increasing demand for wood owing to societal development has highlighted the potential of Albizia odoratissima, a valuable timber species, to address significant timber shortages in China. However, the lack of effective genetic and genomic resources has limited the development and utilization of this species.

Results

In this study, we utilised 95.3 Gb of HiFi reads to assemble a draft genome of A. odoratissima, resulting in a genome size of 788 Mb, comprising 511 contigs. We conducted whole-genome resequencing on 106 individuals from 7 populations on Hainan Island to explore these resources. Our analysis identified 498,308 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms, which were used to assess the genetic diversity, structure, and demographic history of A. odo
