Tetracentron sinense and Trochodendron aralioides are two Tertiary relict species of large trees in the family Trochodendraceae with narrow distributions on the mainland and islands of eastern Asia. They belong to the order Trochodendrales, which is one of the four early‐diverged eudicot lineages. These two relict species provide a good system in which to examine genomic changes that occurred as they survived during repeated climatic oscillations in the Quaternary. We sequenced the genome of Te. sinense and compared it with that of Tr. aralioides. We found that Te. sinense has a smaller genome size (986.3 Mb) than that of Tr. aralioides (1610 Mb). Repetitive elements made the major contribution to the contrasting genome sizes in the two species, with most bursts of repeats occurring within the past four million years when the climate oscillated greatly. These species share two rounds of whole‐genome duplications. The mainland species Te. sinense had a larger effective population size than the island species Tr. aralioides after the largest glaciation during the Quaternary climatic oscillation. However, soon after this recovery stage, the effective population sizes of both species continued to decrease, although the current effective population size of Te. sinense is still larger than that of Tr. aralioides. We recovered three distinctly diverged clades through resequencing the genomes of 50 individuals across the distributional range of Te. sinense in China. Our results provide an important genomic resource with which to examine early trait evolution in the core eudicots and assist efforts to conserve this relict tree species.
