Juglans (walnuts), the most speciose genus in walnut family (Juglandaceae), represents of family's commercially valuable fruit and wood-producing trees. It includes several species used as rootstock for their resistance to various abiotic biotic stressors. We present full structural functional genome annotations six one outgroup within Juglandaceae (Juglans regia, J. cathayensis, hindsii, microcarpa, nigra, sigillata Pterocarya stenoptera) produced using BRAKER2 semi-unsupervised gene...
Maples (the genus Acer) represent important and beloved forest, urban, ornamental trees distributed throughout the Northern hemisphere. They exist in a diverse array of native ranges distributions, across spectrums tolerance or decline, have varying levels susceptibility to biotic abiotic stress. Among Acer species, several stand out their importance economic interest. Here we report first two chromosome-scale genomes for North American negundo saccharum. Both assembled contain scaffolds...
