A haplotype-resolved, near telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of the desiccation-tolerant plant Vellozia tubiflora
Vegetative desiccation tolerance allows plants to survive the loss of up to 95% of their cellular water content and recover upon rehydration. The family Velloziaceae contains the largest number of desiccation-tolerant species among flowering plants, yet genomic resources for this lineage remain extremely limited. Here we report the first reference genome of the genus Vellozia, the most…
