The modern cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) originates from interspecific hybridization between two octoploid wild species: F. virginiana and F. chiloensis. However, the differences in centromere characteristics and evolutionary patterns between wild and cultivated octoploids have remained poorly understood.
