Nuclear and maternal phylogeny in ‘true citrus’
Most of the edible Citrus species are believed to be of interspecific origin as a consequence of reticulate evolution. Garcia-Lor et al. conduct phylogenetic studies at intergeneric level (Citrinae, Rutaceae) and within...
Epigenetic regulation gives diversity in triploid bananas
The production of triploid banana and plantain (Musa spp.) cultivars with improved characteristics remains a major challenge for plant breeders. Hippolyte et al. examine 561 accessions and determine the closest diploid...
