The first genetic map of the American cranberry: exploration of synteny conservation and quantitative trait loci.

The first genetic map of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) has been constructed, comprising 14 linkage groups totaling 879.9 cM with an estimated coverage of 82.2 %.

Single cell genome analysis supports a link between phagotrophy and primary plastid endosymbiosis.

Two cases of primary plastid endosymbiosis are known. The first occurred ca. 1.
