睡莲不仅是备受青睐的水生观赏植物，具有重要的文化和经济意义，而且它们还占据了一个关键的进化空间，这对于理解开花植物的起源和早期进化轨迹至关重要。显花植物的诞生和快速辐射引起了许多科学家的兴趣，查尔斯达尔文认为这是“一个令人憎恶的谜”。在研究被子植物进化起源及其机制的过程中，Amborella的基因组揭示了被子植物基生类群之一的分子特征，但对另一基生类群睡莲的遗传学和基因组学却知之甚少。在这项研究中，我们回顾了目前的分子研究，并注意到睡莲的研究已经进入基因组时代。我们认为睡莲的基因组对于研究基础被子植物和达尔文的“可恶的神秘”之间有争议的关系是至关重要的。四种泛热带睡莲，特别是新近测序的睡莲，具有体积小、生长速度快、种子多等特点，可作为了解被子植物起源的最佳模式。睡莲基因组的构建对于揭示睡莲观赏性状的遗传规律具有重要价值，将极大地促进睡莲的分子育种。
Water lilies are not only highly favored aquatic ornamental plants with cultural and economic importance but they also occupy a critical evolutionary space that is crucial for understanding the origin and early evolutionary trajectory of flowering plants. The birth and rapid radiation of flowering plants has interested many scientists and was considered ‘an abominable mystery’ by Charles Darwin. In searching for the angiosperm evolutionary origin and its underlying mechanisms, the genome of Amborella has shed some light on the molecular features of one of the basal angiosperm lineages; however, little is known regarding the genetics and genomics of another basal angiosperm lineage, namely, the water lily. In this study, we reviewed current molecular research and note that water lily research has entered the genomic era. We propose that the genome of the water lily is critical for studying the contentious relationship of basal angiosperms and Darwin’s ‘abominable mystery’. Four pantropical water lilies, especially the recently sequenced Nymphaea colorata, have characteristics such as small size, rapid growth rate and numerous seeds and can act as the best model for understanding the origin of angiosperms. The water lily genome is also valuable for revealing the genetics of ornamental traits and will largely accelerate the molecular breeding of water lilies.
