| Abstract | Castanea squinii Dode, an endemic tree widely distributed in China, plays an important role both in chestnut breeding and forest ecosystem function. The spatial genetic structure within and among populations is an important part of the evolutionary and ecological genetic dynamics of natural populations, and can provide insights into effective conservation of genetic resources. In the present study, the spatial genetic structure of a panmictic natural population of C. sequinii in the Dabie Mountain region was investigated using microsatellite markers. Nine prescreened microsatellite loci generated 29–33 alleles each, and were used for spatial autocorrelation analysis. Based on Moran’s I coefficient, a panmictic population of C. sequinii in the Dabie Mountain region was found to be lacking a spatial genetic structure. These results suggest that a high pollen-mediated gene flow among subpopulations counteract genetic drift and/or genetic differentiation and plays an important role in maintaining a random and panmictic population structure in C. sequinii populations. Further, a spatial genetic structure was detected in each subpopulation’s scale (0.228 km), with all three subpopulations showing significant fine-scale structure. The genetic variation was found to be nonrandomly distributed within 61 m in each subpopulation (Moran’s I positive values). Although Moran’s I values varied among the different subpopulations, Moran’s I in all the three subpopulations reached the expected values with an increase in distances, suggesting a generally patchy distribution in the subpopulations. The fine-scale structure seems to reflect restricted seed dispersal and microenvironment selection in C. sequinii. These results have important implications for understanding the evolutionary history and ecological process of the natural population of C. sequinii and provide baseline data for formulating a conservation strategy of Castanea species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
