All the individuals could be identified within seven groups, which correspond to the output of the Structure analysis when K=6: the tetraploid populations clustered into three groups, STP (populations in southern QTP), ETP (populations in eastern QTP) and NTP (populations in northern QTP); the diploid populations readily clustered into five groups and DP-2 was intermixed with NTP. Fig. S2 ITS phylogenetic relationships of sampled Allium przewalskianum in the present study using Bayesian, ML and MP analyses. All analyses were performed according to the methods outlined in the main paper. We used Allium ovalifolium, Allium eduardii and Allium mongolicum as outgroups. All newly obtained ITS sequences were deposited in GenBank (accessions KC189069–KC189120). We recovered 34 genotypes from 28 populations (Table S7). The ML tree and the MP tree were congruent with the 50% major consensus tree obtained from Bayesian analysis (shown in this Fig., under the GTR+I+G model) and had a similar topology. The support values are given above the branches (Left: posterior probabilities of Bayesian analysis; Middle: bootstrap values of maximum-parsimony and Right: bootstrap values of maximum-likelihood). These analyses based on the nuclear ITS sequences suggest that all sampled diploid and tetraploid individuals of A. przewalskianum can be grouped into five lineages, A-E. Fig. S3 CHS phylogenetic relationships of sampled Allium przewalskianum in the present study using Bayesian, ML and MP analyses. All analyses were performed according to the methods outlined in the main paper. We used Allium cepa as the outgroup. All newly obtained CHS sequences were deposited in GenBank (accession numbers KC188957–KC189068). We recovered 75 genotypes from 28 populations (Table S7). The ML tree and the MP tree were congruent with the 50% major consensus tree obtained from Bayesian analysis (shown in this Fig., under the GTR+I+G model) and had a similar topology with respect to the main branches. The support values are given above the branches (Left: posterior probabilities of Bayesian analysis; Middle: bootstrap values of maximum-parsimony and Right: bootstrap values of maximum-likelihood). These analyses based on the nuclear CHS sequences also suggest that all sampled diploid and tetraploid individuals of A. przewalskianum can be grouped into five lineages, I-V. References: Cui, X.
