Diffuse and regionally structured domestication of the common fig (Ficus carica L.) in the Mediterranean Basin

Bouchaïb Khadari, Sanzhar Kakenov, Hafid Achtak, Jamal Charafi, Lamis Chalak, Sylvain Santoni, Finn Kjellberg, Amandine Cornille

This study uses microsatellite markers to analyze genetic diversity in fig populations across the Mediterranean, revealing regionally structured domestication rather than a single origin.

A super-pangenome for cultivated citrus reveals evolutive features during the allopatric phase of their reticulate evolution

Gaëtan Droc, Delphine Giraud, Caroline Belser, Karine Labadie, Simone Duprat, Corinne Cruaud, Benjamin Istace, Fredson dos Santos Menezes, Edson Mário de Andrade Silva, Franck Curk, Gilles Costantino, Alexandre Soriano, Pierre Mournet, Alexis Dereeper, Maéva Miranda, , Patrick Ollitrault

The paper constructs a citrus super-pangenome from four ancestral species, revealing evolutionary patterns and genetic diversity through gene annotation, resequencing, and PAV analysis.

Transferability, development of Single Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers and application to the analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of the African fan palm (Borassus aethiopum Mart.) in Benin

Mariano Joly Kpatènon, Kolawolé Valère Salako, Sylvain Santoni, Leïla Zekraoui, Muriel Latreille, Christine Tollon‐Cordet, Cédric Mariac, Estelle Jaligot, Thierry Beulé, Kifouli Adéoti

The paper develops SSR markers for Borassus aethiopum and analyzes genetic diversity and population structure in Benin, finding low diversity and limited gene flow.
