Genome sequencing of common bermudagrass

Common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) is an important perennial warm-season turfgrass species with great economic value. However, the reference genome is still deficient in C. dactylon, which severely impedes basic studies and breeding researches. Here, the genome of C. dactylon cultivar Yangjiang was successfully assembled using a combination of multiple sequencing strategies
