Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy compare nuclear and chloroplast DNA when studying mango relatives?
The two sources of DNA provide different views of evolutionary relationships and may not tell the same complete history, particularly where hybridization is involved. Mangifera phylogenetic work compares both. For a collection, use the result appropriate to the identity question instead of treating one lineage signal as a complete pedigree or proof of all ancestral contributions.
