Thille, a chromosome-level type B avocado genome, and the structural and allelic variation at candidate flowering-type loci

Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is heterodichogamous: each flower opens first as female and then as male, and cultivars fall into two complementary flowering types, A and B, determined by the transcription factor SDMYB, whose dominant allele confers type A. Published avocado genomes come from type A cultivars or from...
