The genus Lycoris of Amaryllidaceae comprises approximately 20 species that are distributed only in the moist warm temperate woodlands of eastern Asia. The objectives of this study were: (1) to clarify the phylogeny of the Lycoris species by using the definitive DNA sequencing method and (2) to examine the possible maternal donor of the hybrid origin Lycoris species and the Japanese triploid strains of Lycoris radiata var. radiata.

- A study analyzed the genetic variations in Lycoris radiata var. radiata, a sterile triploid plant from Japan, by comparing genomic DNA sequences across several triploid and diploid strains.
- The research focused on two genes, revealing that triploid strains from Japan and China had identical sequences, but some variations existed between the Japanese and Chinese strains and between triploids and diploids.
- Results included insights from chromosome mapping, suggesting that L. radiata var. radiata may have evolved from a fertile diploid relative, L. radiata var. pumila, based on genetic and molecular evidence.
