The paper reports genome assemblies of two wild Spinacia species and identifies sex chromosome turnover, including a Y-linked region and a duplicated Y-duplicated region.

The paper reports genome assemblies of two wild spinach progenitors and identifies structural variants and introgression events associated with spinach domestication.

The paper examines structural and epigenomic changes in synthetic Brassica tetraploids across generations, finding frequent deletions/duplications and methylation dynamics affecting gene expression and phenotypes.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Shanmei and resequencing data from 101 samples, revealing geographical divergence and genetic basis of adaptation.

The paper assembles and analyzes the genomes of female and male spinach to study sex determination mechanisms, identifying key features of the sex chromosomes.
