Genus Bromus includes important cool-season forage grasses, but large genome sizes and complex ploidy hinder genomic studies. Here we carried out long read sequencing of two diploid genomes, Bromus riparius and Bromus squarrosus, generating highly contiguous assemblies with contig N50 values of 294.76 Mb and 98.78 Mb, respectively. These assemblies uncovered high-order centromeric repeats and two unique large sub-telomeric repeats on chromosome 5 and 7. Repeat expansion in Bromus appears relatively recent compared to speciation events ([~]9.75 million years ago); yet strong synteny persists across species. Transposable elements such as Angela, SIRE, Athila, CRM, and Retand were identified as major contributors to genome expansion in related Bromus species. Population structure analysis resolved six major subpopulations, with wild relatives exhibiting a higher genetic divergence than cultivated types. Hybrid bromegrass lines showed a higher proportion of genomic contribution from B. inermis than B. riparius. Together, these genomic resources provide a foundation for investigating traits of interest and advancing bromegrass breeding.
