Genome Assembly of Three Shrub Mangroves in the Genus Acanthus Reveals Two Polyploidy Events and Expansion of Genes Linked to Root Adaptation in Coastal Habitats
These genome assemblies clarify the polyploidy and hybridization history of Acanthus and highlight gene family changes potentially associated with coastal root adaptation and habitat establishment in intertidal environments. This study provides valuable genomic resources and insights into the evolutionary adaptation of plants to intertidal environments.
