A haplotype-resolved pangenome of the barley wild relative Hordeum bulbosum
Wild plants can contribute valuable genes to their domesticated relatives1. Fertility barriers and a lack of genomic resources have hindered the effective use of crop–wild introgressions. Decades of research into barley’s closest wild relative, Hordeum bulbosum, a grass native to the Mediterranean basin and Western Asia, have yet to manifest themselves in the release of a cultivar bearing alien genes2. Here we construct a pangenome of bulbous ba…


Haplotype-Resolved Pangenome Maps Barley Wild Relative
In the complex tapestry of plant evolution, polyploidy – the presence of more than two sets of chromosomes – often acts as a pivotal mechanism driving diversification and adaptation. A recent groundbreaking study has shed light on one such polyploid wild relative of barley, Hordeum bulbosum, which intriguingly contains both diploid and tetraploid individuals that, despite their distinct genomic configurations, exhibit near-identical morphologies…
