The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) is an allo-octoploid species, originating
nearly 300 years ago from wild progenitors from the Americas. Since that time the strawberry …

Abstract Background Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) represents one of the most
valued fruit crops in the United States. Despite its economic importance, the octoploid …

Allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) originated through a combination
of polyploid and homoploid hybridization, domestication of an interspecific hybrid lineage …

Cultivated strawberry emerged from the hybridization of two wild octoploid species, both
descendants from the merger of four diploid progenitor species into a single nucleus more …

The genome composition of the octoploid (2n= 8x= 56), cultivated strawberry, Fragaria×
ananassa, is among the most complex of any crop species. The most recently proposed …

The commercial strawberry, Fragaria× ananassa, is a recent allo-octoploid that is cultivated
worldwide. However, other than Fragaria vesca, which is universally accepted one of its …

Whole-genome duplications are radical evolutionary events that have driven speciation and
adaptation in many taxa. Higher-order polyploids have complex histories often including …

Fragaria vesca, commonly known as wild or woodland strawberry, is the most widely
distributed diploid Fragaria species and is native to Europe and Asia. Because of its small …

Background Cultivated strawberry is a hybrid octoploid species (Fragaria xananassa
Duchesne ex. Rozier) whose fruit is highly appreciated due to its organoleptic properties …

The challenge of allelic diversity for assembling haplotypes is exemplified in polyploid
genomes containing homoeologous chromosomes of identical ancestry, and significant …
