“…Cultivars, mainly from Spain and the USA, were studied with SSR markers and data separated Spanish cultivars from those of California (RuizGarcia et al 2011). Additional studies using SSRs have focused on germplasm diversity and genetic relationships among Indian genotypes (Noor Shah et al 2016), among trees from coldtemperate areas of the USA and Europe (Ebrahimi et al 2017), and among germplasm in China (Han et al 2016;Wang et al 2016) and Romania (Pop et al 2013).

Persian or English walnut (Juglans regia L.), the walnut species cultivated for nut production, is one of the oldest food sources known. Persian walnuts, native to the mountain valleys of Central Asia, are grown worldwide in temperate areas. World production exceeds three million tons since 2012, mostly provided by China, the USA, and Iran. Despite very ancient culture of walnut species (Juglans spp.), breeding actually started in the twentieth century. Using a range of methodologies, from morphological markers to the most recent advances in genome analysis, many genetic studies of walnut have been conducted during the past 30 years, including examination of diversity, determination of relationships within or among germplasm collections and populations, phylogenetic and origin elucidation, genetic map construction, and biotic or abiotic stress investigations. The genetic improvement of walnut has undergone great evolution. The producing countries of the Middle East have widely studied morphological characteristics of walnut. The USA and France, for example, are behind important cultivar releases such as BChandler^and BFranquette.^Finally, genomics represents a major breakthrough in walnut improvement, in particular by recent sequencing of both chloroplast and nuclear genomes. This review summarizes worldwide molecular and Bomics^studies and gives an overview of the main walnut breeding programs.

All Juglans are monoecious, wind-pollinated, and temperate deciduous trees [1,4,5].China is the third largest in-shell walnut producer, with a production of 1,700,000 tons annually [6,7].

“…Such distributions should enable the detection and extent of gene introgression between the two species and within different populations.Whether J. regia and J. sigillata are legitimately distinct taxa in China has been controversial, but what is clear is that they freely hybridize and represent closely related gene pools. There is evidence of introgression between the two species in regions of sympatry, barring incomplete lineage sorting [4]. Previous studies of J. regia and J. sigillata mostly involved morphology, quality selection, and detecting the genetic structure of populations in different geographic regions [9,11].…”

The common walnut (Juglans regia L.) and iron walnut (J. sigillata Dode) are well-known economically important species cultivated for their edible nuts, high-quality wood, and medicinal properties and display a sympatric distribution in southwestern China. However, detailed research on the genetic diversity and introgression of these two closely related walnut species, especially in southwestern China, are lacking. In this study, we analyzed a total of 506 individuals from 28 populations of J. regia and J. sigillata using 25 EST-SSR markers to determine if their gene introgression was related to sympatric distribution. In addition, we compared the genetic diversity estimates between them. Our results indicated that all J. regia populations possess slightly higher genetic diversity than J. sigillata populations. The Geostatistical IDW technique (HO, PPL, NA and PrA) revealed that northern Yunnan and Guizhou provinces had high genetic diversity for J. regia while the northwestern Yunnan province had high genetic diversity for J. sigillata. AMOVA analysis revealed that significant genetic variation was mainly distributed within population as 73% in J. regia and 76% in J. sigillata. The genetic differentiation (FST) was 0.307 between the two walnut species (p < 0.0001), which was higher than FST values within populations (J. regia FST = 0.265 and J. sigillata FST = 0.236). However, the STRUCTURE analysis of the J. regia and J. sigillata populations revealed two genetic clusters in which gene introgression exists, therefore, the boundary of separation between these two walnut species is not clear. Moreover, these results were validated by NJ and UPGMA analysis with additional conformation from the PCoA. Based on the SSR data, our results indicate that J. sigillata is an ecotype of J. regia. Taken together, these results reveal novel information on population genetics and provide specific geographical regions containing high genetic diversity of the Juglans species sampled, which will assist in future conservation management.
