Abstract

Chinese wolfberry (Lycium spp.) is an important edible and medicinal plant, with a long cultivation history. The genetic relationships among wild Lycium species and landraces have been unclear for a number of reasons, which has hindered the breeding of modern Chinese wolfberry cultivars. In this study, we collected 19 accessions of Chinese wolfberry germplasm, and constructed the genetic relationship based on RAD-seq markers. We obtained 30.32 Gb of clean data, with the average value of each sample being 1.596 Gb. The average mapping rate was 85.7%, and the average coverage depth was 6.76 X. The phylogeny results distinguished all accessions clearly. All the studied landraces shared their most recent common ancestor with L. barbarum, which indicated that L. barbarum may be involved in cultivation of these landraces. The relationship of some landraces, namely the 'Ningqi' series, 'Qingqi-1' and 'Mengqi-1,' has been supported by the phylogeny results, while the triploid wolfberry was shown to be based on a hybrid between 'Ningqi-1' and a tetraploid wolfberry. This study uncovered the genetic background of Chinese wolfberry, and developed the foundation for species classification, accession identification and protection, and the production of hybrid cultivars of wolfberry.
