Genomic Data Reveals Population Genetic and Demographic History of Magnolia fistulosa (Magnoliaceae), a Plant Species With Extremely Small Populations in Yunnan Province, China.

ABSTRACT: Elucidating the genetic background of threatened species is fundamental to their management and conservation, and investigating the demographic history of these species is helpful in the determination of the threats facing them. The woody species of the genus Magnolia (Magnoliaceae) have high economic, scientific and ecological values. Although nearly half of all Magnolia species have been evaluated as threatened, to date there has been no population genetic study employing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology in this genus. In the present study, we investigate the conservation genomics of Magnolia fistulosa, a threatened species endemic to the limestone area along the Sino-Vietnamese border, using a double digest restriction-site-associated DNA-sequencing (ddRA
