Chromosome numbers of wild species in the genus Epidendrum have previously been reported in the range of 2n= 24-240. However, the ploidy levels of cultivars in the given genus originating from interspecific hybridization among several wild species...
Background and Aims The brittle rachis trait is a feature of many wild grasses, particularly within the tribe Triticeae. Wild Hordeum and Triticum species form a disarticulation layer above the rachis node, resulting in the production of wedge-typ...

Plant genomes remain highly fragmented and are often characterized by hundreds to thousands of assembly gaps. Here, we report chromosome-level reference and phased genome assembly of Ophiorrhiza pumila, a camptothecin-producing medicinal plant, th...

Mobile elements are major regulators of genome evolution through their effects on genome size and chromosome structure in higher organisms. Non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons, one of the subclasses of transposons, are specifically...
