De novo, high-quality assembly and annotation of the halophyte grass Aeluropus littoralis draft genome and identification of A20/AN1 zinc finger protein family
This resource and our findings will contribute to improve the current understanding of salinity tolerance in halophytes while providing useful genes and allelic variation to improve salinity and drought tolerance in cereals through genetic engineering and gene editing, respectively.
