Genomes of Poaceae relatives reveal key metabolic innovations preceding the evolution of grasses.

The grass family (Poaceae) has immense economic and ecological importance and exhibits distinctive metabolic traits, including dual starch and lignin biosynthetic pathways. We sequenced the genomes of Pharus, Joinvillea, Ecdeiocolea, and Typha species to investigate when and how these metabolic innovations evolved rela...

Assembly of Silphium interspecific hybrid genomes opens the genus to phylogenomics, ecogenomics, and molecular breeding

Wild perennial plants can be domesticated to make agriculture more diverse and resilient, but many have large genomes that have been recalcitrant to analysis. Here, we report phased genome assemblies for Silphium integrifolium Michx. and S. perfoliatum L., two species native to North America under domestication, and de...
