Ancestral polyploidy and non-linear dosage shifts define the photosynthetic transition in the Heliantheae alliance
Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have played a central role in plant evolutionary innovation, yet their genome-wide influence on complex physiological traits such as carbon-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) remains poorly resolved. Here, we present high-quality genome assemblies and annotations for 35 species within the Heliantheae alliance (Asteraceae), spanning the complex photosynthetic spectrum…
