Abstract Ginger (Zingiber officinale), the type species of Zingiberaceae, is one most widespread medicinal plants and spices. Here, we report a high-quality, chromosome-scale reference genome ginger ‘Zhugen’, traditionally cultivated in Southwest China used as fresh vegetable, assembled from PacBio long reads, Illumina short high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) reads. The was phased into two haplotypes, haplotype 1 (1.53 Gb with contig N50 4.68 M) 0 (1.51 5.28 M)....

Cauliflower is an important variety of Brassica oleracea and planted worldwide. Here, the high-quality genome sequence cauliflower was reported. The assembled 584.60 Mb in size, with a contig N50 2.11 Mb, contained 47,772 genes; 56.65% composed repetitive sequences. Among these sequences, long terminal repeats (LTRs) were most abundant (32.71% genome), followed by transposable elements (TEs) (12.62%). Comparative genomic analysis confirmed that after ancient paleohexaploidy (γ) event,...

Although great efforts have been made over past decades, it is very challenging to develop advanced bifunctional electrocatalysts for direct formic acid fuel cells. Herein, we report the preparation of PdW metallene-constructed sandwich-like nanosheets (S-PdW NSs) via a facile wet-chemical method. This nanostructure shows excellent electrocatalytic activity and durability in both oxidation oxygen reduction reactions. The remarkable enhancement catalytic could be mainly attributed its unique...
