A Chromosomal-Scale Genome Assembly of Modern Cultivated Hybrid Sugarcane Provides Insights Into Origination and Evolution

A chromosomal-scale genome assembly of modern cultivated hybrid sugarcane provides insights into origination and evolution

Sugarcane is a vital crop with significant economic and industrial value. However, the cultivated sugarcane’s ultra-complex genome still needs to be resolved due to its high ploidy and extensive recombination between the two subgenomes. Here, we generate a chromosomal-scale, haplotype-resolved genome assembly for a hybrid sugarcane cultivar ZZ1. This assembly contains 10.4 Gb genomic sequences and 68,509 annotated genes with defined alleles in t…
