Abstract excerpt
Roses are economically important ornamental plants, with widespread applications in the cut flowers, garden and cosmetics industries. The genomic evolution and diversity of the subgenus Rosa remain understudied, limiting exploitation of its diversity in breeding. Here we assembled genomes of 23 accessions, comprising 51 haplotypes that capture the subgenus's high genetic diversity. Extensive introgression across...
