This complete reference genome provides a robust foundation for future studies on population and conservation genetics of broomcorn millet. In summary, we report a platinum-grade genome of broomcorn millet with two well-partitioned subgenomes. Consistent with their balanced gene retention, the two subgenomes exhibited no apparent transcriptional dominance.
A high-quality, phased genome assembly of broomcorn millet reveals the features of its subgenome evolution and 3D chromatin organization. Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is the most water-efficient cereal and one of the earliest domesticated plants. Here we report its high-quality, chromosome.
To facilitate the rapid adoption of Hongmi as a model line for broomcorn millet research, we assembled a near-complete genome sequence of Hongmi and comprehensively annotated its genome. Together, our results open the door to improving broomcorn millet using biotechnology. A comprehensive variation map constructed by deep sequencing 1,904 accessions of weedy and cultivated broomcorn millet sheds light on the genetic architecture of agronomic traits during domestication.
Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.), known for its traits of drought resistance, adaptability to poor soil, short growth period, and high photosynthetic efficiency as a C4 plant, represents one of the earliest domesticated crops globally. This study reports the telomere-to-telomere (T. To date, China remains one of the largest producers of broomcorn millet, but its traditional production area has been declining in favor of better-yielding and higher-income crops such as corn.
Two chromosome-scale genome assemblies of broomcorn millet have been published using mainly the single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology.
