Haplotype-resolved genome assembly of ‘Manhattan’ perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and characterization of drought responsive late embryogenesis abundant genes
Broad synteny but high heterozygosity characterized the 'Manhattan' perennial ryegrass genome haplotypes. Repeat content, including long terminal repeat genes with annotation support, were high and indicative of cool-season Poaceae grasses. The identification of LEA genes differentially expressed upon drought stress provide candidate genes for further drought tolerance studies.
