Unveiling the genomic blueprint of salt stress: insights from Ipomoea pes-caprae L. Ipomoea pes-caprae

Adverse environmental conditions often pose challenges for organisms, but they can also act as selective pressures that drive adaptive evolution. Here, we present the first chromosome-scale genome of Ipomoea pes-caprae L (IPC), one of the most salt-tolerant plant species, offering valuable insights into its response to salt stress.
