Chromosome-level and haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Bougainvillea glabra.

Bougainvillea glabra Choisy, a common perennial shrub or climbing vine in tropical and subtropical areas, has significant ornamental and ecological value due to its showy floriferous blooms and adaptability to multiple environmental stresses. In this study, based on PacBio and Hi-C sequencing data, we presented the haplotype-resolved, and chromosome-level assembled genomes for B. glabra (2n = 34).

A High-Resolution Linkage Map Construction and QTL Analysis for Morphological Traits in Anthurium ( Linden).

Linden is a prominent ornamental plant belonging to the family Araceae and is cultivated worldwide. The morphology characteristics are crucial because they significantly impact ornamental values, commercial properties, and the efficiency of space utilization in production. However, only a few related investigations have been conducted in anthurium to date.

Resequencing of 388 cassava accessions identifies valuable loci and selection for variation in heterozygosity.

Background: Heterozygous genomes are widespread in outcrossing and clonally propagated crops. However, the variation in heterozygosity underlying key agronomic traits and crop domestication remains largely unknown. Cassava is a staple crop in Africa and other tropical regions and has a highly heterozygous genome.
