Outline of Final Research Achievements

I made detailed distribution maps of Japanese Polemonium which all taxa are endangered species on the basis of specimen data. I also revealed phylogenetic relationship and demographic structure of them on the basis of a large amount of single nucleotide polymorphism data by MIG-seq method. As a result, four genetic clusters could be recognized and their distribution corresponded to geographical structure and habitat environment. These information are considered to be useful for conservation and management of Japanese Polemonium. On the other hand, searching for markers related to local adaptation could not be achieve because sufficient data could not be obtain.
