Employing Genome-Wide SNP Discovery to Characterize the Genetic Diversity in <i>Cinnamomum camphora</i> Using Genotyping by Sequencing

<i>Cinnamomum camphora</i> (L.) J.Presl is a representative tree species of evergreen broad-leafed forests in East Asia and has exceptionally high economic, ornamental, and ecological value. However, the excessive exploitation and utilization of <i>C. camphora</i> trees have...
