Cercis: A Non-polyploid Genomic Relic Within the Generally Polyploid Legume Family

Cercis: A Non-polyploid Genomic Relic Within the Generally Polyploid Legume Family

Based on evolutionary, phylogenomic, and synteny analyses of genome sequences for more than a dozen diverse legume species as well as analysis of chromosome counts across the legume family, we conclude that the genus Cercis provides a plausible model for an early evolutionary form of the legume geno...
