The paper assembles genomes of wild spinach species and compares them with cultivated spinach to study sex chromosome evolution and divergence.

This paper presents a high-quality de novo genome assembly of Chrysanthemum makinoi, a wild diploid ancestor of cultivated chrysanthemums, using long-read and short-read sequencing technologies.

The paper presents the first high-quality genome assembly of onion, revealing a large genome with extensive transposon content and a high number of putative gene models.
