Chromosome-level Streptochaeta genome elucidates the ancestral karyotype and allopolyploid origin of grasses

Grasses (Poaceae) are the most economically important group of plants. Reconstructing the ancestral grass genome and studying the evolutionary factors shaping major grass lineages are crucial for understanding the evolution of cereals, including rice, wheat and maize. Here, we report a chromosome-level genome assembly...
