Abstract
The complete genome assembly of the model plant Nicotiana benthamiana reveals the genetic and epigenetic landscape of its centromeres, which have evolved via satellite expansion, retrotransposon enrichment, and mitochondrial DNA integration. These insights enhance knowledge of polyploid centromere diversity and evolution in Solanaceae species.
