The draft genomes of five agriculturally important African orphan crops.

TL;DR: Draft genome information for five agriculturally, biologically, medicinally, and economically important underutilized plants native to Africa will be useful to identify and characterize agronomically important genes and understand their modes of action, enabling genomics-based, evolutionary studies, and breeding strategies to design faster, more focused, and predictable crop improvement programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fig trees at the northern limit of their range: the distributions of cryptic pollinators indicate multiple glacial refugia.

TL;DR: Their mainly allopatric distributions and different demographic histories are consistent with host plant postglacial expansion from three distinct refugia and suggest one mechanism whereby fig trees gain multiple pollinators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Movements of genes between populations: are pollinators more effective at transferring their own or plant genetic markers?

TL;DR: The relative effectiveness of the pollinator at introducing markers into its own populations was higher than the rate it introduced markers into the plant's populations, but given the demographic differences between plant and pollinator, pollen transfer effectiveness is remarkably high.
