Cardamine occulta isolate:ZGX-2022 Genome sequencing and assembly

Weed species are detrimental to crop yield. An understanding of how weeds originate and adapt to field environments is needed for successful crop management and reduction of herbicide use. Although early flowering is a prerequisite for ruderal weeds to overcome frequent disturbances, the underlying genetic basis is poorly understood. Here, we established Cardamine occulta as a model to study weed ruderality.
