RAD-Seq and Ecological Niche Reveal Genetic Diversity, Phylogeny, and Geographic Distribution of Kadsura interior and Its Closely Related Species.

ABSTRACT: Most plants of Kadsura have economic value and medicinal application. Among them, K. interior and its closely related species have been demonstrated to have definite efficacy. However, the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationship of Kadsura in terms of morphology and commonly used gene regions remain controversial, which adversely affects its rational application. In this study, a total of 107 individuals of K. interior, K. heteroclita, K. longipedunculata, K. oblongifolia, and K. coccinea were studied from the perspectives of genetic diversity, phylogeny, and ecology via single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) developed through restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq). Based on these SNPs, the genetic diversity, phylo
