The genome sequence of Aquilegia vulgaris L., 1753 (Ranunculales: Ranunculaceae).

We present a genome assembly of Aquilegia vulgaris (Columbine; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Ranunculales; Ranunculaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 296.10 megabases and 289.22 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.81%) is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Most of haplotype 2 (94.35%) is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequences have lengths of 388.22 and 83.91 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 161.5 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 23 898 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.

The genome sequence of Veronica verna L., 1753 (Lamiales: Plantaginaceae).

We present a genome assembly of Veronica verna (Spring Speedwell; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Lamiales; Plantaginaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 463.88 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.85%) is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequence has a length of 311.81 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 149.82 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 22 903 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.

Asterales

The genome sequence of Schoenoplectus triqueter (L.) Palla, 1888 (Poales: Cyperaceae).

We present a genome assembly of Schoenoplectus triqueter (Triangular Club-rush; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Poales; Cyperaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 580.26 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.75%) is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Five mitochondrial sequences and the plastid genome were also assembled. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 31 746 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.

Heterogeneous trait responses of Páramo plant species and community to experimental warming.

Understanding the impact of climate change on the functional trait composition (and hence ecosystem functioning) of tropical alpine regions is critical for predicting biodiversity responses. We tested the effects of a decade of warming on the morphological, chemical and genomic traits of Páramo species using open-top chambers (OTCs). We conducted vegetation surveys and collected samples from individuals inside and outside the OTC plots to estimate differences between treatments (warming versus control). Vegetation cover decreased over time in both treatments suggesting a potential decline in soil moisture in our study area. Warming led to a reorganization of the trait space and trait network structure. Species showed a wide range of responses to warming, with significant changes across different trait combinations. Nevertheless, we did not find significant differences in trait values or the direction of change between species whose percentage vegetation cover increased in OTC (or decreased less) over time, compared with control. Community-weighted mean values of plant height, leaf area, leaf dry matter content, genome size, leaf C and P, significantly increased over time only in OTC plots (i.e. traits associated with carbon storage and decomposition). While warming and reduced soil moisture lead to heterogeneous species responses without a clear winning trait strategy, changes at the community level may have important implications for Páramo ecosystem functioning.

The genome sequence of Greek sea-spurrey, Spergularia bocconei (Scheele) Graebn. (Caryophyllaceae).

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Spergularia bocconei (Greek sea-spurrey; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Caryophyllales; Caryophyllaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 466.20 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules suggesting the individual is an allotetraploid (2 n = 4 x = 36). The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 327.07 kilobases and 152.41 kilobases, respectively.
