Echinochloa crus-galli genome analysis provides insight into its adaptation and invasiveness as a weed.
Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) is a pernicious weed in agricultural fields worldwide. The molecular mechanisms underlying its success in the absence of human intervention are presently unknown. Here we report a draft genome sequence of the hexaploid species E. crus-galli. Our results provide a new understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the extreme adaptation of the weed.
