Erianthus fulvus

Erianthus fulvus / E. rufipilus (2n=2x=20) is, so far, the closest diploid relative to Saccharum for which a genome has been assembled.

Data Source : EfGD

In this study,  a chromosome-scale reference genome was assembled for Erianthus fulvus Nees. The genome size estimated by flow cytometry was 937 Mb, and the assembled genome size was 902 Mb, covering 96.26% of the estimated genome size.
A total of 35 065 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 67.89% of the genome was found to be repetitive
