Genomic basis of reticulate evolution and metabolic rewiring driving carotenoid diversity in <i>Citrinae</i>

Abstract excerpt

The extreme phenotypic diversity in fruit coloration across the Citrinae subtribe poses a fascinating evolutionary puzzle. While carotenoids are essential for plant ecological interactions and human nutrition, the genomic basis underlying their vast metabolic variation in the context of complex species hybridization remains largely elusive. Here, we integrated whole-genome resequencing of 80 representative...
