This study conducted a relatively comprehensive analysis of the germplasm resources of Sapindus mukorossi, examined its genetic diversity, explored the structure among different populations and their evolutionary relationships, identified some functional genes related to saponin content and stress resistance, and evaluated the performance of superior germplasm in different ecological environments. This study also confirmed through the association analysis of genotypes and phenotypes which genes might affect saponin content and stress resistance. This study reveals the diversity of Sapindus mukorossi germplasm and the genetic basis behind these good traits, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for future molecular breeding.
