The sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa Mill.) is one of the most widespread cultivated temperate trees in Europe, valued both for its edible nuts and high-quality timber. Due to its ecological, economic, and cultural importance, it has been the focus of extensive genetic studies. However, its mitochon...
