Abstract:Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) produces tiny red berries that are tart and nutty in flavour. It grows widely in the circumpolar region, including Scandinavia, northern parts of Eurasia, Alaska, and Canada. Although cultivation is currently limited, the plant has a long history of cultural use among indigenous communities. Given its potential as a food source, genomic resources for lingonberry are significantly lacking. To advance genomic knowledge, the genomes for two subspecies of lingonberry (V. viti… Show more
