Abstract

Read online

Yan, Yang, Yu, Shang et al. provide a chromosome-level reference genome for Chinese wild rice (Zizania latifolia) along with phylogenetic and transcriptomic analyses. Their results identify candidate genes related to seed shattering and synteny with the rice phytocassane biosynthetic gene cluster.
