Compared with diploid species, recently diverged polyploid crop species tend to have highly similar homeologous subgenomes, which is expected to limit the development of broadly applicable locus-specific single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assays. Furthermore, it is particularly challenging to make genome-wide marker sets for species that lack a reference genome.

- Triterpenoid saponins (TSs), particularly platycosides from the Campanulaceae family, are plant chemicals linked to health benefits like anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects, traditionally used for treating respiratory issues in East Asia.
- Researchers sequenced the genome of a specific plant species to uncover the genes responsible for platycoside production, identifying a large set of protein-coding genes and significant gene families involved in this biosynthesis.
- The study found that certain gene families, which are more extensive in this species compared to others, have distinct expressions in root tissues, and epigenetic modifications may play a role in regulating platycoside production.
