Implication

Genomic analysis reveals extensive intra-cultivar diversity and clonal recombination in cultivated bananas, highlighting the need for dynamic conservation of genetic resources.

Key Points

Cultivar groups of bananas exhibit unexpected intra-group diversity, with clonal lineages accumulating mitotic recombination and deletions over time.
Across 317 banana accessions, genomic screening identified distinct ancestral patterns across two ploidy levels in Pisang Awak landraces.
High-throughput genotyping and in silico chromosome painting establish ancestral profiles, which supports dynamic conservation of banana landraces.
