Chromosome-scale reference genomes for two walnuts: <i>Juglans ailantifolia</i> and <i>Juglans cinerea</i> implicate gene presence and absence in fungal defense divergence
2026-08-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Butternut ( Juglans cinerea ) is a North American hardwood in rapid decline, driven largely by butternut canker disease (BCD). Within the genus, Juglans ailantifolia (Japanese walnut) is comparatively resistant and hybridizes readily with J. cinerea , yet the genomic basis of the difference is unresolved. The first chromosome-scale reference genome for J. ailantifolia is presented here, toge...
