Genome sequencing of Leymus racemosus

Leymus racemosus is a close relative weed to breadwheat, and highly tolerant against drought, salt, and extreme temperatures. The genome sequencing will help to understand their stress tolerance from the aspect of genome.

大赖草（Leymus racemosus）是与普通小麦（breadwheat）亲缘关系密切的野生近缘类群，对干旱、盐渍及极端温度具备极强耐受性。对其开展基因组测序，将有助于从基因组层面理解其胁迫耐受性。
