+For the first time, this release includes the genome assembly and annotation of the poplar tree, Populus trichocarpa v4.1 from JGI Phytozome, a dicot model plant that like sorghum, is also studied for drought tolerance and bioenergy production. Poplar is the eighth outgroup species that together with the genomes of 18 sorghum varieties was used to generate 31,210 protein-coding gene family trees to support phylogenetic analyses and cross-species comparisons.
