  • Xavier Argout and colleagues report the draft genome of Theobroma cacao, the tropical crop that is the source of chocolate. The sequence assembly covers approximately 80% of the genome.

  • Hybridizations between different wild species and subspecies within Musa genus lead to the origin of current banana cultivars with different ploidy level and constitution. Here, the authors assemble seven genomes from different ancestral genetic groups and show the speciation process is accompanied by chromosome rearrangements.

  • Belser, Baurens et al. report a chromosome-scale assembly of a banana genome (Musa acuminata) with five out of eleven chromosomes entirely reconstructed in a single contig from telomere to telomere. This work sheds light on the content of complex regions like centromeres or clusters of paralogous genes in the banana genome.

  • The sequencing and analysis of the banana genome is reported; these results inform plant phylogenetic relationships and genome evolution, and provide a resource for future genetic improvement of this important crop species.

  • A high-quality draft genome assembly of Musa balbisiana (the banana B-genome) is reported. Comparative genomic and gene functional analyses provide insights into the subgenome evolution and functional divergence between the A- and B-subgenomes.

  • The establishment of symbiotic interaction between Aeschynomene evenia and photosynthetic bradyrhizobia doesn’t involve the canonical Nod factors and infection threads. Here, the authors assemble the draft genome of A. evenia and identify a receptor-like kinase in mediating the symbiotic interaction.

  • Assembling genomes to chromosome scale remains a challenge. Now, a study reports a strategy based on nanopore long reads and optical maps and uses it to produce high-quality chromosome-scale assemblies for the genomes of yellow sarson, broccoli and banana.
