PLANT GENOME EVOLUTION

A non-duplicated magnoliid genome

Nature Plants volume 7, pages 1162–1163 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

The genome of a magnoliid, Aristolochia fimbriata, shows no evidence of whole-genome duplication, a feature uniquely shared with Amborella trichopoda, the sister species to all other angiosperms. This ancestral structure of the Aristolochia genome offers great opportunities for comparative genomics.
