The genome of Shorea leprosula (Dipterocarpaceae) highlights the ecological relevance of drought in aseasonal tropical rainforests

Ng, Kobayashi, et al. present the genome assembly for the dipterocarp Shorea leprosula and present transcriptome data for ten more dipterocarp species of seven genera. The Shorea leprosula genome, along with drought stress experiments, demonstrate evidence for a whole-genome duplication (WGD) event...
