A pangenome insight into the genome divergence and flower color diversity among Rhododendron species. Ma, H., Nie, S., Liu, H., Shi, T., Zhao, S., Chen, Z., Bao, Y., Li, Z., & Mao, J. BMC Genomics, January, 2026. ![A pangenome insight into the genome divergence and flower color diversity among Rhododendron species [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The Rhododendron genus (Rhododendron L.), recognized as the most extensive woody plant genus in the Northern Hemisphere, captivates with its strikingly beautiful corollas and variety of flower colors. In addition, the Rhododendron genus exhibits a complex evolutionary history and substantial species diversification. To comprehensively understand the genomic complexity and flower color diversity within this genus, comparative genomics has emerged as a promising approach, enabling analysis at a super-species level.
