A chromosome-scale genome assembly of the Swiss Lolium multiflorum ecotype Tremona reveals a scalable method to purge spurious duplications

Lucien Piat, Gerhard Herren, Christoph Grieder, Anne C. Roulin

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of L. multiflorum and introduces ParaLies, a tool that reduces spurious duplications in highly heterozygous genomes.

Cytoplasmic calcium influx mediated by Lr14a regulates stomatal immunity against leaf rust in wheat

Lili Yue, Limin Wang, Benjamin Neuhäuser…·Beat Keller

This study identifies Lr14a as a calcium-permeable channel in wheat that mediates cytoplasmic calcium influx, essential for stomatal immunity against leaf rust.

k-mer-based GWAS in a wheat collection reveals novel and diverse sources of powdery mildew resistance

Benjamin Jaegle, Yoav Voichek, Max Haupt…·Javier Sánchez‐Martín

The paper uses k-mer-based GWAS on a wheat collection to identify novel powdery mildew resistance loci, finding 27 new loci and a region for adult plant resistance.
