摘要

Abstract

Ulva

prolifera

is the causative species of the annually occurring large-scale green tides in China since 2007. Its specific biological features on reproductivity strategies

as well as intra-species genetic diversity

are still largely unknown

especially at the genome level

despite their importance in understanding the formation and outbreak of massive green tides. In the present study

the restriction site-associated DNA genotyping approach (2b-RAD) was adopted to identify the genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 54 individual thalli including samples collected from Subei Shoal in 2019 and Qingdao coast from 2019 to 2021. SNPs genotype results revealed that most of the thalli in 2019 and 2020 were haploid gametophytes

while only half of the thalli were gametophytes in 2021

indicating flexibility in the reproductive strategies for the formation of the green tides among different years and the dominance of asexual and vegetative reproductive mode for the floating period. Besides

population analysis was conducted

and it revealed a very low genetic diversity among samples from Subei Shoal

and the Qingdao coast in the same year and a higher divergence among samples in different years. The results showed the efficiency of 2b-RAD in the exploration of SNPs in

prolifera

and provided the first genome-wide scale evidence for the origin of the large-scale green tides on the Qingdao coast. This study improved our understanding of the reproductive strategy and genetic diversity of the green tide causative species and will help further reveal the biological causes of the green tide in China.
