Phylogenomic conflict analyses in the apple genus Malus s.l. reveal widespread hybridization and allopolyploidy driving diversification, with insights into the complex biogeographic history in the Northern Hemisphere
JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE PLANT BIOLOGY, 64(5), 1020–1043.
TL;DR:
The conflict analysis demonstrated that ILS, hybridization, and allopolyploidy could explain the widespread nuclear gene tree discordance and a historical biogeographic analysis integrating living and fossil data supported a widespread East Asian-western North American origin of Malus s.l.
