The complete genome of lettuce reveals centromere landscape and empowers breeding
2024-05-15
Abstract excerpt
Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) is a globally grown vegetable crop as the most popular salad ingredient. Lettuce breeding is crucial to enhancing yield, nutrition and disease resistance, but impeded by lacking a high-quality genome resource. In addition, the released genomes remain fragmented (with hundreds of gaps) and incomplete with omitting pivotal centromeres and telomeres. Here, we report a 2.59 Gb complete te...
