Quantitative and qualitative genomic characterization of cultivated Ilex L. species

The development of modern approaches to the genetic improvement of the tree crops Ilex paraguariensis ('yerba mate') and Ilex dumosa ('yerba señorita') is halted by the scarcity of basic genetic information. In this study, we characterized the implementation of low-cost methodolo...
