Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Genome size across the Ilex collection ranges from 1.50 to 8.01 (pg/2C).
- Observation Three outlier I. crenata accessions have genome sizes of 3.06, 4.04 and 4.19.
- Observation I. crenata accessions have 2n = 40 chromosomes.
- Observation The genome size outliers of I. crenata are one triploid and two tetraploids.
- Observation Intra-specific genetic diversity in Ilex crenata is high by genotyping-by-sequencing fingerprinting.
- Observation I. crenata separates into three genetic clades.
- Observation Mean diploid genome sizes of the three I. crenata clades are 2.09, 2.07 and 2.19 pg/2C.
- Observation Principal coordinate analysis reveals wide genetic variation in the Ilex collection, not yet commercially exploited.
- Recommendation Selective breeding of parents with intra- and interspecific crosses could increase genetic diversity in Ilex.
