Abstract Astragalus sinicus (Chinese milkvetch) is a legume crop of major economic and ecological importance, regularly employed in sustainable farming to enhance soil nitrogen. Despite its significance, plastome structural dynamics within the Inverted Repeat-Lacking Clade (IRLC) of Fabaceae remain poorly understood, and pan-plastome resources for this species are lacking. Here, we present a pan-plastome for A. sinicus using 140 resequenced individuals.

Abstract Oat grain is a traditional human food that is rich in dietary fibre and contributes to improved human health1,2. Interest in the crop has surged in recent years owing to its use as the basis for plant-based milk analogues3. Oat is an allohexaploid with a large, repeat-rich genome that was shaped by subgenome exchanges over evolutionary timescales4.
