| Descripción: | Genomics-based diversity analysis of natural vanilla populations is important in order to guide conservation efforts and genetic improvement through plant breeding. Vanilla is a cultivated, undomesticated spice that originated in Mesoamerica prior to spreading globally through vegetative cuttings. Vanilla extract from the commercial species, mainly V. planifolia and V. × tahitensis, is used around the world as an ingredient in foods, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The global reliance on descendants of a few foundational clones in commercial production has resulted in an industry at heightened risk of catastrophic failure due to extremely narrow genetic diversity. Conversely, national and institutional collections including those near the center of cultivation contain previously undiscovered diversity that could bolster the genetic improvement of vanilla and guide conservation efforts. Towards this goal, an international vanilla genotyping effort generated and analyzed 431,204 single nucleotide polymorphisms among 412 accessions and 27 species from eight collections. Phylo- genetic and STRUCTURE analysis sorted vanilla by species and identified hybrid accessions. Principal Compo- nent Analysis and the Fixation Index (FST) were used to refine relationships among accessions and showed differentiation among species. Analysis of the commercial species split V. planifolia into three types with all V. × tahitensis accessions being most similar to V. planifolia type 2. Finally, an in-depth analysis of V. × tahitensis identified seven V. planifolia and six V. odorata accessions as most similar to the estimated parental genotypes providing additional data in support of the current hybrid theory. The prevalence of probable V. × tahitensis parental accessions from Belize suggests that V. × tahitensis could have originated from this area and highlights the need for vanilla conservation throughout Central and South America. The genetic groupings among accessions, particularly for V. planifolia, can now be used to focus breeding efforts on fewer accessions that capture the greatest diversity. |
