Improved reference assembly and core collection resequencing to facilitate exploration of important agronomical traits for the improvement of oilseed crop, <i>Carthamus tinctorius</i> L
Our study provides insights into the genomic architecture of safflower by leveraging an improved genome assembly and annotation. Additionally, resources, including a high-density linkage map, marker-trait associations, and pan-genome development in this study, provide valuable resources for use in breeding and crop improvement programs by the global research community.
