Genomic C-Value Variation Analysis in Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) in the Middle Yellow River Basin

Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) originated in the Yellow River basin (YRB) of the Shanxi–Shaanxi region. The genomic C-value is a crucial indicator for plant breeding and germplasm evaluation. In this study, we used flow cytometry to determine the genomic C-values of jujube germplasms in the...

Sumario:Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) originated in the Yellow River basin (YRB) of the Shanxi–Shaanxi region. The genomic C-value is a crucial indicator for plant breeding and germplasm evaluation. In this study, we used flow cytometry to determine the genomic C-values of jujube germplasms in the YRB of the Shanxi–Shaanxi region and evaluated their differences in different sub-regions. Of the 29 sub-regions, the highest and lowest variations were in Linxian and Xiaxian, respectively. The difference between jujube germplasms was highly significant (F = 14.89, p < 0.0001) in Linxian. Cluster analysis showed that both cluster 2 and 4 belonged to Linxian, which were clearly separated from other taxa but were cross-distributed in them. Linxian County is an important gene exchange center in the YRB of the Shanxi–Shaanxi region. Principal component analysis showed that cluster 1 had low genomic C-values and single-fruit weights and cluster 2 had high genomic C-values and vitamin C contents. The genomic C-value was correlated with single-fruit weight and vitamin C content. In addition, the genomic C-value was used to predict fruit agronomic traits, providing a reference for shortening the breeding cycle and genetic diversity-related studies of jujube germplasm.
