Karyotype asymmetry in Cuscuta L. subgenus Pachystigma reflects its repeat DNA composition

Abstract: Cuscuta is a cytogenetically diverse genus, with karyotypes varying 18-fold in chromosome number and 89-fold in genome size. Each of its four subgenera also presents particular chromosomal features, such as bimodal karyotypes in Pachystigma. We used low coverage sequencing of the Cuscuta nitida genome (subgenus Pachystigma), as well as chromosome banding and molecular cytogenetics of three subgenus representatives, to understand the origin of bimodal karyotypes. All three species, C. nitida, C. africana (2n = … Show more
