A haplotype-resolved lychee pangenome uncovers structural and haplotype variations associated with flowering time divergence and fruit sugar composition.

Lychee is a representative tropical-subtropical fruit species of southern China and is widely appreciated for its unique and characteristic flavor. Pangenome provides a powerful framework for capturing genetic variation and elucidating the genomic basis of phenotypic diversity in economically important crops. Here, we...
