Abstract
Nakano et al. sequenced the genome of a model species for hexaploid cultivated chrysanthemum, an important cut flower. While they investigated evolution, duplication events, and a novel retrotransposon in this study, they also demonstrated the translational implication of the genome sequence in breeding the economically important plant.
