Genomic divergence, introgression and KASP fingerprinting panel development in five cultivar groups of sweet osmanthus.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSweet osmanthus is a well-known ornamental tree endemic to China. Its prolonged history of domestication, accompanied by inter-specific gene flow and frequent selection of bud mutations, has given rise to over 200 cultivars categorized into five cultivar groups. However, there is still a lack of information on population genetic composition and high-throughput genotyping tools for capturing the genomic divergence of accessions across the five cultivar groups.
resultsHere we performed whole genome resequencing on both cultivated sweet osmanthus and wild Osmanthus accessions to explore their phylogenetic relationship and wild-to-cultivar introgression. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that O. fragrans cultivars formed a monophyletic clade and were further delineated into seven distinct genetic groups. This genetic structure was discordant with the classification of traditional cultivar groups based on floral traits. Luteus and Albus are more original, and Caiyegui exhibited a relatively narrow genetic background (π = 2.8 × 10⁻³). Gene flow estimates revealed introgression (18,734 significant trios in D-statistics) from autumn-flowering species in O. sect. Osmanthus to four sweet osmanthus cultivars. Through rigorous filtering, 571 SNPs were selected from 9.36 million SNPs for kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) marker design and large-scale genotyping. By establishing a core marker selection pipeline, we retained a core set of 143 markers with 69.9% located in genic regions. They were verified to be efficient in identification and fingerprinting of 163 cultivars, including the newly-bred and inter-specific hybrids.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this study provides the first genomic evidence suggesting that interspecific introgression may have played a role in the development of a specific subset of O. fragrans cultivars (the G1 group), and also offers high-throughput genotyping tool that will greatly facilitate molecular Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS) testing and molecular breeding in sweet osmanthus.
