Chromosome-level genome assemblies and annotations of Amaranthus spinosus, Amaranthus acanthochiton, Amaranthus arenicola, and Amaranthus floridanus

Damilola A. Raiyemo, Isabel Schlegel Werle, Ramandeep Kaur, Lauren Whitt, Sarah B. Carey, Haley J. Hale, Keyana J. Lewis, Lauren Womack, Alex Harkess, Víctor Llaca, Kevin A. Fengler, Eric L. Patterson, Todd Adam Gaines, Patrick J. Tranel

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for four Amaranthus species, revealing conserved sex chromosome inversions and providing resources for evolutionary and agronomic research.

Resistance to protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor herbicides in giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida) is associated with a novel R98Q target-site mutation in PPO2

Cristiana Bernardi Rankrape, Isabel Schlegel Werle, Eduardo Lago, Alexander J. Lopez, Patrick J. Tranel, Karla L. Gage

This study identifies a novel R98Q mutation in PPO2 as the target-site resistance mechanism for PPO-inhibitor herbicides in giant ragweed population VRC, while TMS shows resistance without target-site alteration.

Confirmation and Transcriptomic Characterization of Glufosinate-ammonium Resistance in Waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) Populations from Illinois

Isabel Schlegel Werle, Cristiana Bernardi Rankrape, Logan R. Miller, Eduardo Lago, Rishabh Singh, Alexander J. Lopez, Aaron G. Hager, Karla L. Gage, Patrick J. Tranel

This study confirms GA resistance in waterhemp populations and identifies differentially expressed metabolism-related genes as potential contributors to resistance.
