Article Synopsis
- Adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is an important legume in East Asia, valued for both its dietary and medicinal uses, and this study presents a detailed chromosome-level genome assembly of the plant.
- The genome assembly covers 447.8 Mb, identifying over 25,000 genes with high accuracy, and demonstrates significant completion with the majority of essential genes recognized.
- The study also places Vigna angularis within an evolutionary context, tracing its divergence from related species around 15.3 and 8.7 million years ago, which can aid in improving adzuki bean breeding techniques.

Article Synopsis
- - The length of soybean hypocotyl is crucial for plant height, lodging resistance, and overall grain yield, but research on its regulation is limited.
- - A newly identified module involving the genes MYB33, SWEET11, SWEET21, and GA2ox8c reveals how sucrose transport from cotyledon to hypocotyl regulates hypocotyl elongation.
- - Enhanced MYB33 alleles in domesticated soybeans suggest a strong evolutionary selection process, highlighting a significant molecular pathway that influences hypocotyl growth and sugar transport mechanisms in the plant.
