Genomic and population analyses reveal asymmetric subgenome evolution and local adaptation in the polyploid Lycopus lucidus.

Abstract excerpt

Polyploidization and subsequent diploidization are fundamental processes in plant evolution, yet how subgenome asymmetry arising from these events shapes ecological adaptation remains poorly understood. We generate a chromosome‑level genome assembly and population genomic data for Lycopus lucidus, a polyploid medicinal plant with broad environmental adaptability across China. The genome reveals a recent...
