Abstract:Mandevilla (Apocynaceae) is a greatly appreciated genus in the world ornamental market. In this study, we attempted to address the poor genetic knowledge and the huge taxonomic gaps existing in this genus by analyzing a collection of 55 accessions. After cytometrically determining the triploid genome size (1,512.64 Mb) of a reference sample (variety “Mandevilla 2001”), the plastidial genome (cpDNA, 0.18 Mb) and a draft of the nuclear genome (nuDNA, 207 Mb) were assembled. While cpDNA was effective in reconstru… Show more
