Genome sequence of Berk. and Br. (Race I), the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, isolate from Risaralda, Colombia.

Coffee leaf rust, caused by the fungus (Basidiomycota; Pucciniomycota) is a devastating disease spread worldwide. To improve the available genomes, we use PacBio HiFi sequencing enhanced by Dovetail Omni-C chromatin conformation capture to assemble a highly contiguous 747.98 Mb genome of an isolate collected from .

Oryza glumaepatula: A wild relative to improve drought tolerance in cultivated rice.

Developing drought-resistant rice (Oryza sativa, L.) is essential for improving field productivity, especially in rain-fed areas affected by climate change. Wild relatives of rice are potential sources for drought-resistant traits.

Building two indica rice reference genomes with PacBio long-read and Illumina paired-end sequencing data.

Over the past 30 years, we have performed many fundamental studies on two Oryza sativa subsp. indica varieties, Zhenshan 97 (ZS97) and Minghui 63 (MH63). To improve the resolution of many of these investigations, we generated two reference-quality reference genome assemblies using the most advanced sequencing technologies.

Extensive sequence divergence between the reference genomes of two elite indica rice varieties Zhenshan 97 and Minghui 63.

Asian cultivated rice consists of two subspecies: Oryza sativa subsp. indica and O. sativa subsp.
