Chromosome-scale genome assembly of and population genomics reveal widespread gene flow in a cool-season grass seed production system.

(L.) is a cool-season grass species found in various environments worldwide. In addition to being a desired turfgrass species, it is a common weed of agricultural systems and natural areas.

as a plant model system to study mitochondrial complex I dysfunction.

Mitochondrial complex I, a proton-pumping NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase, is required for oxidative phosphorylation. However, the contribution of several human mutations to complex I deficiency is poorly understood. The unicellular alga was utilized to study complex I as, unlike in mammals, mutants with complete loss of the holoenzyme are viable.
