摘要
Sorbus pohuashanensis is a potential horticulture and medicinal plant, but its genomic and genetic backgrounds remain unknown. Here, we sequenced and assembled the S. pohuashanensis (Hance) Hedl. reference genome using PacBio long reads. Based on the new reference genome, we resequenced a core collection of 22 Sorbus spp. samples, which were divided into 2 groups (G1 and G2) based on phylogenetic and PCA analyses. These phylogenetic clusters were highly consistent with their classification based on leaf shape. Natural hybridization between the G1 and G2 groups was evidenced by a sample (R21) with a highly heterozygous genotype. Nucleotide diversity (π) analysis showed that G1 had a higher diversity than G2 and that G2 originated from G1. During the evolution process, the gene families involved in photosynthesis pathways expanded and the gene families involved in energy consumption contracted. RNA-seq data suggested that flavonoid biosynthesis and heat-shock protein (HSP)-heat-shock factor (HSF) pathways play important roles in protection against sunburn. This study provides new insights into the evolution of Sorbus spp. genomes. In addition, the genomic resources, and the identified genetic variations, especially those related to stress resistance, will help future efforts to produce and breed Sorbus spp.
