摘要

The taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of related taxa are important for understanding the biology of a species.Also,spatial distribution of genetic variation may offer insights into history of range shifts and demographic changes.The genus Tamarix L.from the Old World is a taxonomically challenging group that has widely expanded its range in the recent past.We examined genomic diversity patterns and the taxonomic identities of Korean Tamarix species whose taxonomy has remained unresolved.We used a total of 1773 SNP data from genotyping by sequencing for 37 Tamarix plants representing two species;T.chinensis and T.ramosissima to infer species delimitation and the geographic distribution of genomic diversity.Clustering (STRUCTURE;PCA,neighbor joining) and phylogenetic tree results indicated that the two morphologically similar species T.chinensis and T.ramosissima are genetically distinct and the two Korean populations (Sihwa & Songdo) are clustered closely with T.chinensis.Approximate Bayesian Computation based hypothesis testing results suggested that one of the two Korean populations,Songdo might have primarily been derived from the native area,China,followed by range expansion to Sihwa with a secondary admixture event between an established population,Songdo,and a native population,Beijing.
