摘要：Environmental factors are strong drivers of local adaptation in forest tree species. Toona ciliata var. pubescens, an endangered tree species endemic to China, is widely distributed across Eastern and Southwestern China. In this study, we used 8 genomic microsatellite markers and 17 EST-SSR markers across nine populations from the Yunnan–Kweichow Plateau and Eastern China, to explore the adaptive variation and genetic structure of T. ciliata var. pubescens. Patterns of population structure were apparent using a Bayesian clustering program, STRUCTURE, which identified four distinct clusters. We identified four outlier loci that were potentially under selection using the Dirichlet-multinomial and hierarchic simulation models. Through the Mantel test, it was found that geographic and climatic factors have jointly affected the genetic structure of T. ciliata var. pubescens in the study area. Based on redundancy analysis (RDA), it was shown that the correlation between climatic variables associated with variation is stronger than that of geographic variables. It is worth mentioning that the eight alleles from outlier loci have potentially adaptive and are associated with either precipitation or temperature variables. All analyses revealed high genetic diversity and significant genetic differentiation in the populations of T. ciliata var. pubescens. This indicated that the climatic variables including precipitation and temperature are drivers of local adaptation in the populations of T. ciliata var. pubescens. ? 2023 by the authors.
