Recurrent evolution of cryptic triploids in cultivated enset increases yield

2025-02-17

Abstract excerpt

The high incidence of polyploidy in crops could be explained if domestication involved the selection of polyploids (cytotypes with more than two sets of chromosomes). Ancestral horticulture could have targeted desirable traits including yield, robustness to stress and to disease, rather than requiring knowledge of polyploidy itself. We find evidence for this process underway in enset ( Ensete ventricosum , Musace...
