Popis: Chinese chestnut is widely cultivated for nut production and harbors value as a genetic resource for restoration of American and European chestnut trees destroyed by chestnut blight. Here, the authors reveal the genomic basis of homoploid hybrid speciation within Castanea spp. and find the nonrandom distribution of reproductive barrier loci based on a high-quality reference genome.
