Supernumerary B-Chromosomes are extra genetic elements that frequently deviate from Mendelian inheritance to ensure their own survival. Their evolutionary origins and biological impacts within natural plant populations remain largely unexplored. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a model for studies of local adaptation,...

The grass family (Poaceae) has immense economic and ecological importance and exhibits distinctive metabolic traits, including dual starch and lignin biosynthetic pathways. We sequenced the genomes of Pharus, Joinvillea, Ecdeiocolea, and Typha species to investigate when and how these metabolic innovations evolved rela...

Wild perennial plants can be domesticated to make agriculture more diverse and resilient, but many have large genomes that have been recalcitrant to analysis. Here, we report phased genome assemblies for Silphium integrifolium Michx. and S. perfoliatum L., two species native to North America under domestication, and de...
