Haplotype‐resolved telomere‐to‐telomere genome of the jade vine ( <i>Strongylodon macrobotrys</i> ) provides novel insights into the turquoise flower coloration
A haplotype-resolved telomere-to-telomere genome reveals that the bird-shaped turquoise flowers of Strongylodon macrobotrys (jade vine) arise from co-pigmentation between the anthocyanin malvin and the flavonoid saponarin, shaped by genome dynamics and geological event-associated expansions of long terminal repeat retrotransposons.
