Shared Pivotal Genome of European and South-American Polyploid Fescues (Festuca sp.) Uncovered by Comparative Cytogenetics.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Polyploidization is one of the major evolutionary forces in grasses (Poaceae), yet the genomic relationships between polyploid species across different continents remain poorly understood. Here, we aim to determine whether phylogenetically distinct South American allohexaploid fescues, Festuca uloch...
