Abstract
Rosa persica is considered a clonal plant because it is mainly propagated by clonal growth. Due to environmental degradation and habitat devastation, R. persica has been listed as a national second-class protected plant in China. However, the absence of research on wild populations of R. persica has impeded progress in formulating efficient conservation strategies. In this study, we investigated the clonal dispersal distance of R. persica to accurately determine the genetic diversity and population structure of the wild population in Xinjiang. We suggested that 20 m was the threshold distance with which to distinguish between different genets of plants. Based on this, we collated sequencing data from a total of 70 different genets of plants from 117 test samples. Eight populations of R. persica were primarily categorized into three subgroups: BL (Bole), TC (Tacheng) and CG (Changji). Of these, the CG subgroup exhibited the most genetic diversity. This research is the first to illustrates the clonal dispersal distance of R. persica, thus providing valuable reference guidelines for understanding the reproductive characteristics of clonal plants. In addition, the genetic diversity of R. persica provides a theoretical foundation for the formulation of conservation policies.
