Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The invasive AA species in North America originated from the Amur River.
- Observation All cultivated accessions are AA species from the Yangtze River with severe genetic impoverishment.
- Observation The two BB species with small seeds were separated by both morphological and genetic evidence.
- Mechanism Asian allotetraploids (AABB) originated through hybridization between AA and BB diploids, supported by nuclear and chloroplast evidence.
- Observation The invasive North American tetraploids have an AACC-like genome, suggesting an independent polyploidization.
