Abstract Knowledge about genetic diversity is essential to promote effective use and conservation of crops, because it enables farmers to adapt their crops to specific needs and is the raw material for breeding. Manioc (Manihot esculenta ssp. esculenta) is one of the world’s major food crops and has the potential to help achieve food security in the context of on-going climate changes. We evaluated single nucleotide polymorphisms in traditional Brazilian manioc varieties conserved in the gene bank of the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo. We assessed genome-wide diversity and identified selective signatures contrasting varieties from different biomes with samples of manioc’s wild ancestor M. esculenta ssp. flabellifolia. We identified signatures of selection putatively associated with resistance genes, plant development and response to abiotic stresses that might have been important for the crop’s domestication and diversification resulting from cultivation in different environments. Additionally, high neutral genetic diversity within groups of varieties from different biomes and low genetic divergence among biomes reflect the complexity of manioc’s evolutionary dynamics under traditional cultivation. Our results exemplify how smallholder practices contribute to conserve manioc’s genetic resources, maintaining variation of potential adaptive significance and high levels of neutral genetic diversity. |
