Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Telomere-to-telomere reference genomes were generated for three Digitaria species.
- Observation Comparative analyses found lineage-specific expansions in herbicide-associated gene families.
- Association Extensive sympatric introgression correlated with environmental selection.
- Association Nineteen candidate genes were associated with herbicide resistance.
- Observation The resistant DsSOH1 allele originated from D. ciliaris.
