Chromosome-scale genome assembly of diploid halophyte Thinopyrum bessarabicum excludes J genome from polyploid Thinopyrum ancestry

Nicola Walter, Jack Walker, Caiyun Yang, Duncan Scholefield, Stephen S. Ashling, Gemy Kaithakottil, David Swarbreck, Aleyda Sierra-Gonzalez, Katie Hawkins, Jonathan A. Atkinson, Darren Wells, Malcolm John Hawkesford, Jianxia Niu, Jesús Quiroz-Chávez, Emile Cavalet-Giorsa, , Surbhi Grewal

This paper presents a chromosome-scale genome of Thinopyrum bessarabicum, showing the J genome is not part of polyploid Thinopyrum ancestry and identifies genomic features linked to salt tolerance.
