Plant material Plants of R. tenuis and R. austrobrasiliensis were collected from natural populations in Brazil under appropriate permits and cultivated under controlled greenhouse conditions. Nine geographically distinct accessions of R. tenuis were used for genome sequencing and cytological analyses. Individual flowers and pollen were staged for meiotic analyses. All experimental material was propagated clonally
