Amaranth is an ancient crop native to the New World. Interest in amaranths is being renewed, due to their adaptability, stress tolerance, and nutritional value. There are about 65 species in the genus, including Amaranthus caudatus L., A. cruentus L., and A. hypochondriacus L., which are primarily grown as protein-rich grains or pseudocereals. The genus also includes major noxious weeds (e.g., A. palmeri). The amaranths are within the Caryophyllales order and thus many species (e.g., A. tricolor) produce red (betacyanin) or yellow (betaxanthin) betalain pigments, which are chemically distinct from the anthocyanins responsible for red pigmentation in other plants. A. hypochondriacus, which shows disomic inheritance (2n = 32; n= 466 Mb), has been sequenced and annotated with 23,059 protein-coding genes. Additional members of the genus are now also been sequenced including weedy amaranths, other grain amaranths, and their putative progenitors. 410 0$aCompendium of Plant Genomes,$x2199-4781 606 $aGenetics 606 $aBotany 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aAmarant$2thub 606 $aGenòmica$2thub 606 $aBiotecnologia vegetal$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aGenetics. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 7$aAmarant 615 7$aGenòmica 615 7$aBiotecnologia vegetal 676 $a583.88335 702 $aAdhikary$b Dinesh 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484996503321 996 $aThe Amaranth Genome$92220257 997 $aUNINA
