Abstract excerpt
Background/Objectives: Bud sports (somatic mutations) offer a quick way to develop new bougainvillea varieties by altering specific traits while keeping the desirable genetic background of the original cultivar. However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of their genomic architecture and the molecular mechanisms behind their formation. This study aimed to characterize the population genomic...
