  • High-quality reference genomes facilitate analysis of genome structure and variation. Here Duet al. create a near-complete assembly of the indicarice genome by combining single molecule sequencing with mapping data and fosmid sequences and identify genetic variants by comparison with other rice genomes.

  • C4 photosynthesis serves as a prominent example of convergent evolution in complex traits. Here, the authors construct chromosome-scale genome assemblies for five Flaveria species and investigate the genomic evolution of C4 photosynthesis. Their findings emphasize the roles of retrotransposition and transcriptional regulation in shaping C4 traits.

  • Understanding the genetic basis of rubber tree domestication is critical for improving natural rubber production. Here, the authors assemble the genome of the rubber tree clone CATAS8-79 and conduct population and genetic association analyses to reveal the function of phytosulfokine in regulating number of laticifer rings.

  • Repetitive sequences in complex eukaryote genomes can cause fragmented assemblies with incomplete gene sequences and unanchored or mispositioned contigs. Here, the authors report HERA, a method to improve genome assemblies by efficiently resolving repeats using single-molecule sequencing data.

  • The Oryza genus comprise two cultivated rice species and 20 extant wild species. Here the authors assemble genomes of 13 representative wild rice species, construct a super pangenome by integrating them with four previously reported genomes in the genus, and reveal the genome evolution and diversity within the genus.
