a, GWH (left) and ROH (right) in seven baobab species (A. digitata is excluded because it is an autopolyploid). The heterozygosity statistics for all chromosomes of each species are presented as a box plot. The two-sided Wilcoxon test showed significantly higher levels of GWH in A. perrieri (n = 42) compared to species with, on average, longer ROHs (n = 44). In box plots, the centre line is the median, the box limits show the interquartile range (25th to 75th percentile) and whiskers extend to quartiles ±1.5× interquartile range. b, The relationship between the number and lengths of ROH. The dashed box shows the distribution pattern of the top 100 longest ROH in each species.
