Reduced representation sequencing reveals genetic diversity and adaptive genetic divergence in Calamus rhabdocladus.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Small, isolated populations are more susceptible to natural disturbances and declines in genetic diversity. Calamus rhabdocladus has a scattered and fragmented natural distribution across South China, where only a few relict populations still exist. However, no population genetic studies have been conducted to date, and conservation management plans are lacking. In this study, we examined the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and environmental adaptability of all sampled individuals of C. rhabdocladus using reduced representation sequencing technology. We observed a moderate level of genetic diversity, with the values of unbiased observed heterozygosity (Ho), unbiased expected heterozygosity (He), Nei's gene diversity (Nei's), and Shannon's information index (I) being 0.180, 0.282, 0.279, and 0.436, respectively. Additionally, the Guangzhou (GZ), Heyuan (HY), and Foshan (FS) sites exhibited higher genetic diversity than other sites. Large genetic differentiation was detected in C. rhabdocladus. Structure analysis, phylogenetic tree, and principal component analysis all clustered the samples into three distinct genetic groups, shaped by geographical barriers, heterogeneous environments, and germplasm reproduction characteristics. Redundancy analysis (RDA) identified the driest month (bio14) and the mean temperature of the wettest quarter (bio8) as the two most important environmental factors driving adaptive genetic variation. The Latent Factor Mixed Model (LFMM) identified 955 loci significantly associated with environmental adaptation and successfully aligned 469 genes from related species, which were enriched in functional categories involving cell structure, carbohydrate metabolism, and protein degradation. Overall, this study represents the first investigation into the genetic diversity and structure of C. rhabdocladus. Our findings will aid in the conservation and utilization of the species, providing a theoretical basis for future ecological and evolutionary research.
