The larches of Kuzhanovo are located on a territory of 16 hectares at the coordinates 53.447598, 58.526692 in the Abzelilovsky District of The Republic of Bashkortostan (Figure 4a,d). Samples were taken from all ten surviving plants and their three descendants. Two descendants are located inside the protected area, and the third grows in Kuzhanovo village, on private territory (Figure 4b–f). Five larches with a similar round crown were discovered in the Abzelilovsky District, outside of the protected area, and used for genetic analysis. Their location is not disclosed for reasons of their safety. In general, all 18 known trees with a round crown were analyzed. Larches with a normal crown shape from Abzelilovsky District, Tatyshlinsky District and the city of Ufa were used as controls (Figure 4g). Sequences were compared to 48 chloroplast genomes of larches L. sibirica (NC_036811.1), L. gmelinii (MK468648, MK468646, MK468639, MK468638, MK468637, MK468636, MK468635, MK468634, MK468633, MK468632, MK468631, NC_044421, MF990370, LC228572, LC228571, LC228570), L. cajanderi (MK468645, MK468644, MK468643, MK468641, NC_044422), L. potaninii (KY885247, KX880508, NC_061649, MN822885), L. kaempferi (MF990369, LC574976, LC574975, LC574974, LC574973, LC574972, LC574971, LC574970, LC574969), L. occidentalis (NC_039583, FJ899578), L. griffithii (NC_061650, NC_061646, MN822886, MN822882), L. kongboensis (NC_061648, MN822884), Larix himalaica (NC_061647, MN822883), L. decidua (AB501189, AB547951) and 22 whole-genome shotgun sequences of L. sibirica (NWUY0000000000), L. kaempferi (WOXR02000000, BSBM00000000), L. gmelinii (VFBA01000000, VFAZ01000000, VFAY01000000.
