More Information
  • Phoebe bournei, also known as "nanmu," is renowned for its exceptional material quality. However, the natural forest resources of P. bournei are increasingly scarce due to excessive logging and usage. This study utilized EST-SSR molecular marker technology to assess the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural populations of P. bournei, providing a theoretical foundation for the conservation and use of its germplasm resources. There was a notably high level of genetic diversity, with an average expected heterozygosity of 0.73. There were significant variances in genetic diversity among the populations. The Shunchang population in Fujian Province exhibited the highest genetic diversity (He = 0.83), which should be prioritized for conservation due to its extensive area and dispersed individual distribution. The population in Chongyi, Jiangxi Province, had the lowest genetic diversity (He = 0.60) due to inbreeding and its relatively small area. Genetic differentiation occurred primarily within populations (83.80%). On the other hand, high levels of differentiation existed between populations (FST = 0.1620). The genetic distance among populations was positively correlated with altitude, suggesting that altitude may impact the genetic differentiation of natural populations of P. bournei. Genetic structure and cluster analysis revealed that the nine natural populations of P. bournei were classified into two categories.

Abstract: Phoebe bournei, also known as "nanmu," is renowned for its exceptional material quality. However, the natural forest resources of P. bournei are increasingly scarce due to excessive logging and usage. This study utilized EST-SSR molecular marker technology to assess the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural populations of P. bournei, providing a theoretical foundation for the conservation and use of its germplasm resources. There was a notably high level of genetic diversity, with an average expected heterozygosity of 0.73. There were significant variances in genetic diversity among the populations. The Shunchang population in Fujian Province exhibited the highest genetic diversity (He = 0.83), which should be prioritized for conservation due to its extensive area and dispersed individual distribution. The population in Chongyi, Jiangxi Province, had the lowest genetic diversity (He = 0.60) due to inbreeding and its relatively small area. Genetic differentiation occurred primarily within populations (83.80%). On the other hand, high levels of differentiation existed between populations (FST = 0.1620). The genetic distance among populations was positively correlated with altitude, suggesting that altitude may impact the genetic differentiation of natural populations of P. bournei. Genetic structure and cluster analysis revealed that the nine natural populations of P. bournei were classified into two categories.
