Fruits of Fragaria species usually have an appealing bright red color due to the
accumulation of anthocyanins, water-soluble flavonoid pigments. Octoploid cultivated …

Fresh berries are a popular and important component of the human diet. The demand for
high‐quality berries and sustainable production methods is increasing globally, challenging …

Strawberry (Fragaria spp.) has emerged as a model system for various fundamental and
applied research in recent years. In total, the genomes of five different species have been …

Strawberry is an emerging model for studying polyploid genome evolution and rapid
domestication of fruit crops. Here we report haplotype-resolved genomes of two wild …

Background Deep-branching phylogenetic relationships are often difficult to resolve
because phylogenetic signals are obscured by the long history and complexity of …

Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) is one of our youngest domesticates, originating
in early eighteenth-century Europe from spontaneous hybrids between wild allo-octoploid …

Hybridization brings together chromosome sets from two or more distinct progenitor species.
Genome duplication associated with hybridization, or allopolyploidy, allows these …

Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa), a perennial herb belonging to the family
Rosaceae, is a complex octoploid with high heterozygosity at most loci. However, there is no …

Plant mitochondrial DNA has been described as evolving rapidly in structure but slowly in
sequence. However, many of the noncoding portions of plant mitogenomes are not …

Hybridization and introgressions are important evolutionary forces in plants. They contribute
to the domestication of many species, including understudied clonal crops. Here, we …
