Determined the genome size, chromosome number, and organization of ribosomal DNA (45S and 5SrDNA) of Adansonia digitata. Revision of the chromosome count revealed 2n = 4x = 168. Found two massively large variants of 45S rDNA and their corresponding nucleolus organizer regions (NOR). Islam-Faridi 2020

The analysis of genetic and morphological variability of different baobab populations in Kordofan, Sudan and estimation of the effect of human intervention on genetic differentiation and diversity shows genetic diversity was balanced and indicated a rather positive effect with human intervention.

The spatial genetic structure of baobab (Adansonia digitata) populations from West African agroforestry systems at various geographical scales were evaluated using AFLP fingerprints which demonstrated high levels of genetic structuring are present in baobab at both large & within-population level.

Chloroplast DNA phylogeography suggests that the tetraploid Adansonia digitata, or its diploid progenitor, probably originated in West Africa and migrated subsequently throughout the tropical parts of that continent, and beyond, by natural and human-mediated terrestrial and overseas dispersal.

The study investigated the level of morphometric and genetic variation and spatial genetic structure within and between threatened baobab populations from the three climatic zones of Benin which indicated some degree of physical isolation of the populations collected in the different climatic zones.
