Genetic diversity and population structure of Caryopteris mongholica revealed by reduced representation sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Caryopteris mongholica Bunge is a rare broad-leaved shrub distributed in the desert and arid regions of Mongol and North China. Due to land reclamation, natural habitat deterioration and anthropogenic activities in recent years, the wild resources have sharply reduced. To effectively protect and rationally use it, we investigated the genetic diversity and population structure from 18 populations across the range of C. mongholica in China by reduced representation sequencing technology.

Results

We found the overall average values of observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), and average nucleotide diversity (π) were 0.43, 0.35 and 0.135, respectively. Furthermore, the NM17 population exhibited higher genetic diversity than other populations. The ph
