Abstract
AbstractInsertion or deletion polymorphism (InDel) is one of the main genetic variations in plant genomes. However, there are few studies on InDels across the whole genome in Populus. In this study, we investigated genome-wide InDels in Populus deltoides and Populus simonii and InDel segregation in their F1 hybrid population with restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) data. A total of 119,066 InDels were identified in P. deltoides and P. simonii according to the reference genome of Populus trichocarpa, including 58,532 unique InDels in P. deltoides, 54,469 unique InDels in P. simonii, and 6,065 common InDels in both. Meanwhile, the distribution of these InDels was analyzed along chromosomes, indicating that the distribution patterns for both species were largely similar, but the average InDel density was slightly higher in P. deltoides than in P. simonii. GO annotation and enrichment analysis of those genes harboring InDels showed the same patterns between the two poplar species. It is interesting to find that the ratio (~ 46%) of the common InDels within genes to all common InDels was higher than that of the InDels within genes to all InDels in P. deltoides (~ 35%) or in P. simonii (~ 34%), possibly indicating that those InDels are more conservative between poplar species. Moreover, investigation of the InDel segregation patterns demonstrated that a large number of Mendelian InDels could be selected for genetic mapping in the F1 hybrid population. RAD-seq provides genome-wide insights into the InDel distributions in P. deltoides and P. simonii and the segregation patterns in their progeny, providing valuable genomic variation information for genetic and evolutionary studies in Populus.
