Abstract
Wild grapes show a high level of species diversity and have been widely recognized as important germplasm resources of wine, table grapes, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses for the grape industry. However, the local adaptation and drivers of diversification of genus Vitis L. remain poorly understood. Hybridization and introgression events of Vitis are still lacking a comprehensive knowledge regarding their frequency, pattern, and adaptive landscape, particularly at the genome-wide scale. The reticulated evolutions, local adaptations and responses to future climate change of several widely distributed wild grape in East Asia are investigated based on population genomic data.Species network analyses identified several hybridization events within East Asian Vitis. These interspecific hybridization events may have caused the topological discordances and relatively low support detected in our analyses. Ecological niche modeling shows that most of the diversification of East Asian Vitis species is driven by temperature and precipitation environmental variables. Sympatric parallel diversifications of major clades also may have facilitated the rich diversity in East Asian Vitis.Our results emphasize the significance of comprehensive genomic data, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertion/deletions and structural variations (SVs), to predict environmental adaption of wild grapes in the context of rapid climate change.
