01Narrative
Cruciata pedemontana, the Piedmont bedstraw, is a species of plant in the Rubiaceae. It is native to the southern and central Europe, the Black Sea Basin, and southwestern and Central Asia from Turkey to Iran to Kazakhstan. It is also naturalized in parts of the United States (south-central and eastern parts from Texas to New York, plus the northwest from Washington and Oregon to Montana).Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, Cruciata pedemontanaBiota of North America Program, Cruciata pedemontana Cruciata pedemontana is an erect herb up to 30 cm, covered with stiff hairs. Leaves are broadly ovate, usually four per node. Flowers are tiny, rarely more than 1 mm across, axillary, pale yellow.

05DNA & barcodingmolecular
A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Cruciata pedemontana has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualCruciata pedemontana carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.
