Note: this study obtained a "robust phylogeny" for the subgenus and section Prunus; Prunus divaricata was resolved in a group that included P. cerasifera and P. ursina, all of which obtained support for their recognition at the species level; the P. cerasifera group also had a sister relation to the hexaploids (P. domestica and P. insititia), and therefore this result was interpreted as evidence for supporting P. cerasifera "and its allies" as potential ancestors of P. domestica
