About This Journal
Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Given the rapid progress today in technology and its application in the plant sciences, the goal of APPS is to foster communication within the plant science community to advance scientific research. APPS is a publication of the Botanical Society of America, originating in 2009 as the American Journal of Botany's online-only section, AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences.

Abstract
This study provides genomic and transcriptomic resources for Thalictrum (Ranunculaceae), a representative of an early‐diverging lineage of eudicots with distinct floral morphologies representing diversity in sexual and pollination systems. A draft genome and floral transcriptome were generated for T. thalictroides, a representative insect‐pollinated, diploid species with hermaphroditic flowers, and transcriptomes were generated for the two flower types of the andromonoecious, wind‐pollinated, and tetraploid species T. hernandezii. Transposable elements, molecular markers, and putative candidate genes are characterized as resources for future follow‐up studies.
