Phenylpropanoids are a large class of plant secondary metabolites derived from aromatic
amino acids phenylalanine in most plants or tyrosine in partial monocots. It mainly includes …

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are∼ 21-nucleotide-long regulatory RNAs that arise from
endonucleolytic processing of hairpin precursors. Many function as essential …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …

The evolution of land flora transformed the terrestrial environment. Land plants evolved from
an ancestral charophycean alga from which they inherited developmental, biochemical, and …

As a midsized gene family conserved more by lineage than function, the typical plant
terpene synthases (TPSs) could be a valuable tool to examine plant evolution. TPSs are …

The ancient gymnosperm genus Taxus is the exclusive source of the anticancer drug
paclitaxel, yet no reference genome sequences are available for comprehensively …

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are prevalent in plant genomes. The
identification of LTR-RTs is critical for achieving high-quality gene annotation. Based on the …

Water lilies belong to the angiosperm order Nymphaeales. Amborellales, Nymphaeales and
Austrobaileyales together form the so-called ANA-grade of angiosperms, which are extant …

Sequencing of target-enriched libraries is an efficient and cost-effective method for obtaining
DNA sequence data from hundreds of nuclear loci for phylogeny reconstruction. Much of the …
