Identification of Commercial Cultivars in the Tabebuia Alliance Using Genotyping-by-Sequencing
The Tabebuia alliance is widely planted in tropical and subtropical countries. However, the lack of accurate taxonomic information for many commercial cultivars leads to commercial disputes. We sought to clarify the background of commercial cultivars in China and to provide a robust basis for patent protection. We collected 82 Tabebuia cultivars and 12 reference individuals, then developed large-scale single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers using genotyping-by-sequencing. We obtained 73,219 SNPs from the test samples, which represented a substantial increase compared with previous studies of Tabebuia species. Based on these SNPs and a clustering analysis, we detected six species among the samples, as well as an uncertain population which may be a hybrid between Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. ex DC) Mattos and H. heptaphyllus (Vell.) Mattos. An analysis of genetic diversity to assess germplasm resources indicated that excessive heterozygosity of these cultivars in China, which may explain the genetic basis of “novel-preferred” selection in ornamental plants or a narrow genetic background. After rigorous selection, we identified numerous high-quality molecular markers for cultivar identification, then constructed a concise fingerprint with 54 SNPs. Our work clarifies the background information of commercial cultivars of Tabebuia in China and provides information for cultivar identification. It will serve as an important technical resource for genetic studies, and it will help to protect patents that involve Tabebuia species.
