We use untargeted metabolomics to investigate the immediate phytochemical effects of autopolyploidy on our model system, the greater duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza, a small aquatic macrophyte from the family Lemnaceae. We compare metabolite abundances in four genetically distinct diploid-a...
BACKGROUND: Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) has high nutritional quality, with edible grain and leaves, and many agronomic advantages, making it a promising part of the solution for global food insecurity. However, we lack comprehensive metabolomic and genome sequence data fo...

The section Oleifera (Theaceae) has attracted attention for the high levels of unsaturated fatty acids found in its seeds. Here, we report the chromosome-scale genome of the sect. Oleifera using diploid wild Camellia lanceoleosa with a final size of 3.00 Gb and an N50 s...
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of the toxic haptophyte Prymnesium parvum are a recurrent problem in many inland and estuarine waters around the world. Strains of P. parvum vary in the toxins they produce and in other physiological traits associated with HABs, but the genetic basis ...
Megasphaera hexanoica KCCM 43214T, isolated from cow rumen, is capable of producing medium-chain carboxylic acids such as n-caproate and n-caprylate. In this study, we present a high-quality genome assembly, along with intracellular metabolomic profiling and pangenomic an...
