Fig. 1: Leaf width phenotype differentiates Zostera species and identifies a hybrid.
From: Hybridization and low-light adaptability in California eelgrass (Zostera spp.)

a–c, The wide-leaved Z. pacifica (Zpac1022-Sio2) (a) versus the narrow-leaved Southern California Z. marina (Zmar913-Mar3) (b) and the hybrid (Zmar912-Mar1) with intermediate leaf width (c). d, The hybrid and proximal Z. marina and Z. pacifica were collected in Mission Bay and La Jolla; for the sample metadata, see Supplementary Table 1. e, De novo genome assemblies for the hybrid, Z. marina and Z. pacifica resolve the hybrid as a diploid F1, with haplotype assemblies referenced as Hap1-marina and Hap2-pacifica.
