The chromosome-level genome of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes).

Objectives: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is one of the most notorious invasive aquatic plants in the world and is known to cause significant ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Here, we reported a high-quality chromosome-level genome for water hyacinth, which will be a valuable reference for future investigations of its invasion.

Data Description: A chromosome-level genome for water hyacinth was constructed by combing MGI short-reads sequencing, PacBio HiFi (High-fidelity) sequencing, and Hi-C sequencing, which resulted in ca.

The Monochoria genome provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying floral heteranthery.

Heteranthery, the occurrence of functionally and structurally distinct stamens within a flower, represents a striking example of convergent evolution among diverse animal-pollinated lineages. Although the ecological basis of this somatic polymorphism is understood, the developmental and molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we selected Monochoria elata (Pontederiaceae) as our study system due to its typical heterantherous floral structure.

Haplotype-resolved genome assembly provides insights into the evolution of S-locus supergene in distylous Nymphoides indica.

Distyly has evolved independently in numerous animal-pollinated angiosperm lineages. Understanding of its molecular basis has been restricted to a few species, primarily Primula. Here, we investigate the genetic architecture of the single diallelic locus (S-locus) supergene, a linkage group of functionally associated genes, and explore how it may have evolved in distylous Nymphoides indica, a lineage of flowering plants not previously investigated.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the aquatic plant Nymphoides indica reveals transposable element bursts and NBS-LRR gene family expansion shedding light on its invasiveness.

Nymphoides indica, an aquatic plant, is an invasive species that causes both ecological and economic damage in North America and elsewhere. However, the lack of genomic data of N. indica limits the in-depth analysis of this invasive species.

The chromosome-level genome of a free-floating aquatic weed Pistia stratiotes provides insights into its rapid invasion.

Pistia stratiotes (Araceae), commonly referred to as water lettuce, is one of the most notorious weeds that cause severe damage to the economy and natural ecosystems of infested areas. In order to explore the mechanism of its rapid invasion, here, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level genome for P. stratiotes based on the Illumina sequencing, PacBio sequencing, and Hi-C scaffolding technology.
