TL;DR
This study explores the genetic diversity of glutinous rice landraces in Guizhou, China, and constructs a core collection to preserve their genetic resources.
Contribution
The study introduces an optimized core collection of glutinous rice landraces using SSR sequencing and advanced sampling strategies.
Findings
Non-KSR germplasm showed significantly higher genetic diversity than KSR germplasm.
The SANA strategy outperformed others in preserving genetic diversity at 20% sampling intensity.
A core collection of 65 germplasms captured 90.86% of alleles and retained key genetic parameters.
Abstract
Kam Sweet Rice (KSR), a distinctive group of glutinous rice landraces, has evolved over millennia through agro-ecological adaptation by the Dong ethnic group in the 'He' cultivation zone of Southeast Guizhou, China. This study examined the genetic diversity of 388 glutinous rice landraces from the region, comprising 325 KSR and 63 non-KSR varieties, using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) sequencing. Results revealed that non-KSR germplasm exhibited significantly higher genetic diversity than KSR germplasm. Collectively, diversity patterns were strongly shaped by the numerical predominance of genetically similar KSR germplasms, resulting in an uneven distribution of genetic diversity between KSR and non-KSR groups. Five strategies were applied to construct and evaluate core collections (see Methods for full details). Among them, the simulated annealing algorithm (SA)-based Allelic Richness…
