  "summary": "Amaranthus tricolor is a climate-resilient orphan crop whose betalain pigments contribute to nutritional quality and stress tolerance. However, breeding efforts have traditionally relied on field yield trials due to the limited availability of genomic information and genetic resources. To address this gap, we first used the Illumina and PacBio sequencing platforms to assemble a novel reference…",
