Chromosome‐level assemblies of Amaranthus palmeri, Amaranthus retroflexus, and Amaranthus hybridus allow for genomic comparisons and identification of a sex‐determining region

The Plant Journal, Volume 121, Issue 4, February 2025.
Significance Statement We generated high‐quality genome assemblies for three economically important weeds in the Amaranthus genus. From these, we identified the sex‐determining region in a dioecious species and described important contributors to herbicide resistance in these species: cytochrome P450 gene families and extrachromosomal DNA carrying the ...
