摘要：Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is an important coniferous species that accounts for 20–30% of the total commercial timber production in China. Though traditional breeding of Chinese fir has achieved remarkable success, molecular-assisted breeding has made little progress due to limited availability of genomic information. In this study, a survey of Chinese fir genome was performed using the Illumina HiSeq Xten sequencing platform. K-mer analysis indicated that Chinese fir has a large genome of approximately 11.6 Gb with 74.89% repetitive elements and is highly heterozygous. Meanwhile, its genome size was estimated to be 13.2 Gb using flow cytometry. A total of 778.02 Gb clean reads were assembled into 10,982,272 scaffolds with an N50 of 1.57 kb. In total, 362,193 SSR loci were detected with a frequency of 13.18 kb. Dinucleotide repeats were the most abundant (up to 73.6% of the total SSRs), followed by trinucleotide and tetranucleotide repeats. Forty-six polymorphic pairs were developed, and 298 alleles were successfully amplified from 199 Chinese fir clones. The average PIC value was 0.53, indicating that the identified genomic SSR (gSSR) markers have a high degree of polymorphism. In addition, these breeding resources were divided into three groups, and a limited gene flow existed among these inferred groups.
