Abstract

This study was to understand the genetic structure and diversity of the Korean Malus species. We used genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology to analyze samples of 112 individuals belonging to 18 populations of wild Malus spp. Using GBS, we identified thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the species analyzed. M. baccata and M. toringo, two dominant mainland species of the Korean Peninsula, were distinguishable based on their genetic structure. However, M. toringo collected from Jeju Island exhibited a different genetic profile than that from the mainland. We identified M. cf. micromalus as a hybrid resulting from the Jeju Island M. toringo (pollen donor) and the mainland M. baccata, (pollen recipient). Putative M. mandshurica distributed on the Korean Peninsula showed a high structural and genetic similarity with M. baccata, indicating that it might be an ecotype. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of the population history and genetic structure of Malus in the Korean Peninsula.
