Abstract 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 its high ploidy extensive recombination between two subgenomes. Here, we generate chromosomal-scale, haplotype-resolved assembly for hybrid sugarcane cultivar ZZ1. This contains 10.4 Gb genomic sequences 68,509 annotated genes defined alleles in sub-genomes distributed 99 original 15 recombined chromosomes. RNA-seq data...

Summary Meiotic chromosome pairing between homoeologous chromosomes was reported in many nascent allopolyploids. Homoeologous is gradually eliminated and replaced by exclusive homologous well‐established allopolyploids, an evolutionary process referred to as the diploidization of A fundamental question allopolyploids whether what extent DNA sequence variation among contribute establishment pairing. We developed aneuploid tetraploid maize lines that contain three copies 10 derived from inbred...
