Common bermudagrass genome (PRJCA019991)
Here, we described a chromosome-scale reference genome assembly of the bermudagrass A and B subgenomes derived from the integrated study through use of SMRT sequencing, Illumina paired-end sequencing, chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology, and Bionano optical mapping analysis. We investigated genome evolution, timing of polyploidization, and salt tolerance-associated genes. This study's findings provide a clear picture of the genetic and geographic origins of common bermudagrass. The findings may assist us in understanding the insights of Cynodon salt stress tolerance, The salt tolerance genes identified have potential for use in breeding new cultivars.
