“Whoever the men were who designed the geographical biscuit cutter which sliced out the Old North State, they succeeded so well botanically that one might think of them as possessed with less political sense than vegetational acumen…”
“In a very real sense North Carolina, though lying at right angles to the north-south longitudinal lines, unites Canada and Florida within a little over two-thirds of her length.”

I. Conclusions• Detected divergence in genetic structure corresponding to
regionally unique selective pressures
• Identified 54 candidate loci likely to be under selection
• Temp. cov. and soil comp. contributed most to adaptive divergence
• Trees to conserve Alleles to conserve
• Cross-validation of consistent GBS results identified neutral and candidate SNPs while lowering false positives

I. Limitations• Not all variability of adaptive landscape examined
• Adaptive significance of de novo GBS reads speculative (i.e. function of larger contigs?)

Candidate SNPs for disease resilience-susceptibility
![Page 72: Molecular Characterization of Local Adaptation of Natural Flowering Dogwood Populations (C. florida) to Fungal Pathogens and Environmental Stress](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/5882770e1a28ab24788b478b/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Conclusions1. Diseased vs. non-affected areas: few differences in
genetic diversity
2. Some select SNPs consistently associated to disease occurrence (e.g. subtilisin locus)
3. Contour between hot-continental/disease affected region and rest of flowering dogwoods range reflected by allele frequency changes along spatial gradients
4. Several loci of interest certain alleles fixated in areas of disease occurrence
![Page 73: Molecular Characterization of Local Adaptation of Natural Flowering Dogwood Populations (C. florida) to Fungal Pathogens and Environmental Stress](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/5882770e1a28ab24788b478b/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
II. Conundrum• How demographic changes will affect species in future?
• i.e. smaller and more isolated populations
• Increasing homozygosity within individual trees
• Less functional precursors available for adaptive potential (screening hypothesis)
![Page 74: Molecular Characterization of Local Adaptation of Natural Flowering Dogwood Populations (C. florida) to Fungal Pathogens and Environmental Stress](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/5882770e1a28ab24788b478b/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
II. Conundrum• Do patterns of phenotypic diversity correlate to disease
resistance-susceptibility?
• Do patterns of genetic variation correlate with patterns of phenotypic variation (i.e. secondary metabolites)

Why study natural diversity of plant secondary metabolism (PSM)?• Small genetic diversity large
diversity in PSM
• Closely tied to ecological functions
• Specialized deterrents to herbivory and disease
• Few studies characterize secondary metabolite diversity in natural populations

Questions• Is dogwood disease constrained primarily by abiotic factors?
• Is there evidence from candidate SNPs and biomarkers for local adaptation?
• What is the relationship between genetic diversity and chemodiversity?
• Do healthy plants exhibit greater chemodiversity?
• If so, is higher chemodiversity a product of induced responses to the environment or environment-driven selection?

III. Conclusions• Prec. and temp. covariates strongly correlated
with chemical expression
• After controlling for environment, identified SNP-biomarker network likely involved with synthesis/regulation of glucosides
• While chemical data more variable, both clustering patterns of genetic and chemical data similar
• Discovered general trend that increase in chemical richness and evenness linked to healthier trees
• For hypothesized network, upregulation of M435T576 relative to other compounds in network was associated with higher odds of being healthy
