This study investigated the genetic diversity and divergence of Leonurus japonicus, a significant medicinal plant. The results showed that the nucleotide diversity was high in the petN-psbM and rpl32-trnL((UAG)) spacers, which could be used for genotype discrimination. The species were divided into four clades, with divergence influenced by geographical distribution and global temperature changes. Suitable climatic conditions were identified, showing expansion from the Last Glacial Maximum to the present. These findings have important implications for the conservation and utilization of Leonurus japonicus.
Background Leonurus japonicus, a significant medicinal plant known for its therapeutic effects on gynecological and cardiovascular diseases, has genetic diversity that forms the basis for germplasm preservation and utilization in medicine. Despite its economic value, limited research has focused on its genetic diversity and divergence. Results The avg. nucleotide diversity of 59 accessions from China were 0.00029 and hotspot regions in petN-psbM and rpl32-trnL((UAG)) spacers, which can be used for genotype discrimination. These accessions divided into four clades with significant divergence. The four subclades, which split at approximately 7.36 Ma, were likely influenced by the Hengduan Mountains uplift and global temperature drop. The initial divergence gave rise to Clade D, with a crown age estimated at 4.27 Ma, followed by Clade C, with a crown age estimated at 3.39 Ma. The four clades were not showed a clear spatial distribution. Suitable climatic conditions for the species were identified, including warmest quarter precipitation 433.20 mm similar to 1,524.07 mm, driest month precipitation > 12.06 mm, and coldest month min temp > -4.34 degrees C. The high suitability distribution showed contraction in LIG to LGM, followed by expansion from LGM to present. The Hengduan Mountains acted as a glacial refuge for the species during climate changes. Conclusions Our findings reflected a clear phylogenetic relationships and divergence within species L. japonicus and the identified hotspot regions could facilitate the genotype discrimination. The divergence time estimation and suitable area simulation revealed evolution dynamics of this species and may propose conservation suggestions and exploitation approaches in the future.
