The origin of cultivated mangosteen ( L. var. ): Critical assessments and an evolutionary-ecological perspective.

Mangosteen ( var. ) is a popular tropical fruit, yet many aspects of its biology and evolutionary history are little known. Its origin remains contentious, although recent findings suggest .

Dataset from transcriptome assembly of leaves using MinION nanopore sequencer.

is a tropical fruit tree species originating from Indonesia. Very few genomic resources are available for the species. We developed a full-length transcriptome assembly using long-read sequencing (MinION Nanopore technology) and produced 4.

Domestication Syndrome in (Burseraceae): Comparison of Morphological and Biochemical Traits between Wild and Cultivated Populations.

For millennia, people have harvested fruits from the wild for their alimentation. Gradually, they have started selecting wild individuals presenting traits of interest, protecting and cultivating them. This was the starting point of their domestication.

Shifting perceptions, preferences and practices in the African fruit trade: the case of African plum (Dacryodes edulis) in different cultural and urbanization contexts in Cameroon.

Background: Understanding the perceptions, preferences and management practices associated with intraspecific variability of emblematic African tree crops is critical for their sustainable management. In this paper, we examine how the agrobiodiversity of a fruit tree species native to Central Africa, the African plum tree (Dacryodes edulis), is perceived and managed by Cameroonian cultivators.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews and tree surveys were conducted over four months with 441 African plum tree owners from three different ethnic groups (Bamileke, Bassa, Beti) in urban, peri-urban and rural areas.
