Abstract excerpt
Polyploidy is a major evolutionary force generating genetic novelty over macroevolutionary scales, shaping the diversification and success of flowering plants. Channel millet, a wild C4 millet, is from semi-arid and arid inland Australia. Here we show that Channel millet is a dodecaploid by generating a high-quality, de novo, haplotype-resolved genome assembly (2.66 Gb). Subgenome-specific repetitive sequences...
