AbstractHigh-quality genome information is essential for efficiently deciphering and improving crop traits. Here we report a highly contiguous hexaploid genome assembly for the key wheat breeding parent Zhou8425B, an elite 1BL/1RS translocation line with durable adult plant resistance (APR) against rust diseases. By using HiFi and Hi-C sequencing reads, a 14.75 Gb genome assembly, with contig N50 and scaffold N50 values reaching 70.94 and 735.11 Mb, respectively, was developed.

As Chinese economy expert Nicolas Lardy shows, direct subsidies to Chinese listed companies have grown substantially from 5% of listed firms’ profits in 2010 to almost 14% in 2015. Our own calculations corroborate this upward trend.
