Article Synopsis
- Mangosteen's origins are debated, with recent findings suggesting L. var. Nazre as its primary ancestor and emphasizing the need for clearer interpretations in existing research.
- The paper reviews the biological characteristics of mangosteen and its relatives, noting that traits like apomixis and polyploidy do not appear to have evolved during domestication.
- It introduces a new framework called "Forest-Interface" for studying mangosteen's evolutionary processes and recommends future research to fill important gaps in knowledge.
