RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Complete plastid genome assembly of invasive plant, Centaurea diffusa JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 005900 DO 10.1101/005900 A1 Kathryn G. Turner A1 Christopher J. Grassa YR 2014 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2014/06/11/005900.abstract AB New genomic tools are needed to elucidate the evolution of invasive, non-model organisms. Here we present the completed plastome assembly for the problematic invasive weed, Centaurea diffusa. This new tool represents a significant contribution to future studies of the ecological genomics of invasive plants, particularly this weedy genus, and studies of the Asteraceae in general.
