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

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

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

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

The evolution of separate sexes in waterhemp is associated with surprising chromosomal diversity and complexity

This study investigates the genetic basis of sex determination in waterhemp, revealing complex chromosomal diversity and phenotypic variability associated with the transition to dioecy.

Chromosome-level assemblies of Amaranthus palmeri, Amaranthus retroflexus, and Amaranthus hybridus allow for genomic comparisons and identification of a sex-determining region

The paper presents chromosome-level genomes of three Amaranthus species, identifies a male-specific region, and characterizes genes and eccDNA related to sex determination and herbicide resistance.

A phased chromosome-level genome assembly provides insights into the evolution of sex chromosomes in Amaranthus tuberculatus

The paper presents a phased chromosome-level genome assembly of Amaranthus tuberculatus and identifies a sex-determining region with unique features and gene expression patterns.

The International Weed Genomics Consortium: Community Resources for Weed Genomics Research

The paper outlines genomic resources developed by the International Weed Genomics Consortium to improve weed control and crop breeding through insights into stress tolerance.

The Draft Genome of Kochia scoparia and the Mechanism of Glyphosate Resistance via Transposon-Mediated EPSPS Tandem Gene Duplication

The paper reports a draft genome of kochia and identifies a mobile genetic element involved in EPSPS gene duplication, leading to glyphosate resistance.
