Population Genomics of Chinese Melia azedarach Germplasm: Latitudinal Genetic Structure, Spatial–Climatic Associations, and Climate-Associated Candidate Genes
To understand how geography shapes the genetic variation of Melia azedarach, we sequenced the whole genomes of 91 accessions from 91 maternal half-sib families across 15 provenances maintained in the National Germplasm Bank of China, an ex situ collection representing conserved germplasm. Genetic diversity increased fr...
