Science - Botany / Plant genomics
English term or phrase: gamma
From a text on plant genomics. CONTEXT:

"Although it is agreed that a major polyploidy event, gamma, occurred within the eudicots, the phylogenetic placement of the event remains unclear."

I know that the literal translation would be "gama" but I want to be sure that such a literal translation is correct in this case. TIA.

Explanation:
Tiene que ser "gamma" por fuerza, ya que en tu otra pregunta nos proporcionas el siguiente contexto:

"The most parsimonious explanation of these patterns is that γ occurred in a common ancestor of rosids and asterids, because all sequenced genomes within these lineages share a triplicate genome structure."

Me extrañaría mucho que no se refiriera a lo mismo.
