  "summary": "Amaranthus L. spans aggressive agricultural weeds, ornamentals, and ancient pseudocereals. Species within the genus vary in morphology, environmental tolerance, and sexual systems, making them well-suited for studying reproductive evolution and plant adaptation. To investigate sex chromosome architecture within the genus, we generated chromosome-level assemblies of a monoecious amaranth…",
