Comparative analyses of American and Asian lotus genomes reveal insights into petal color, carpel thermogenesis and domestication
Abstract
Nelumbo lutea (American lotus), which differs from Nelumbo nucifera (Asian lotus) morphologically, is one of the two remaining species in the basal eudicot family Nelumbonaceae. Here, we assembled the 843-Mb genome of American lotus into eight pseudochromosomes containing 31 382 protein-coding genes. Comparative analyses revealed conserved synteny without large chromosomal rearrangements between the genomes of American and Asian lotus and...
