Foundational genomic resources for date palm: A gap-free, telomere-to-telomere phased assembly of Ajwa and 19 high-quality genome assemblies of Phoenix dactylifera.

The paper presents a gap-free, telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for date palm and 19 high-quality assemblies, revealing chromosomal structures and sex determination regions.

Redesigning petal shape, size, and color in soybean reveals unexpected phenotypes for floral organ development

This study modifies soybean floral traits using CRISPR to enhance pollinator attraction, revealing unexpected gene regulatory mechanisms and providing tools for hybrid seed production.

Oryza genome evolution through a tetraploid lens

The paper presents 11 new chromosome-level genome assemblies of Oryza species, revealing core genome conservation and subgenome plasticity, and highlights implications for crop improvement.

Pan-genome inversion index reveals evolutionary insights into the subpopulation structure of Asian rice (Oryza sativa)

The paper constructs a pan-genome inversion index for Asian rice using 16 genomes and finds a high inversion rate with functional implications.

Twelve Platinum-Standard Reference Genomes Sequences (PSRefSeq) that complete the full range of genetic diversity of Asian rice

The paper generates 12 new high-quality rice reference genomes to expand the genetic diversity coverage of cultivated rice, forming a comprehensive pan-genome resource with 16 reference sequences.
