Crabgrasses (Digitaria spp.) are invasive upland weeds distributed globally. Here, the authors assemble a telomere-to-telomere reference genome of D. sanguinalis along with its diploid and tetraploid progenitors and reveal lineage-specific introgression of a herbicide resistance-associated gene through population genetics analyses.
