The complexity of the epigenome landscape and transcriptional regulation is significantly
increased during plant polyploidization, which drives genome evolution and contributes to …

The study of domestication contributes to our knowledge of evolution and crop genetic
resources. Human selection has shaped wild Brassica rapa into diverse turnip, leafy, and …

Whole-genome duplications are radical evolutionary events that have driven speciation and
adaptation in many taxa. Higher-order polyploids have complex histories often including …

The cultivated Brassica species are the group of crops most closely related to Arabidopsis
thaliana (Arabidopsis). They represent models for the application in crops of genomic …

Angiosperms have become the dominant terrestrial plant group by diversifying for~ 145
million years into a broad range of environments. During the course of evolution, numerous …

The genus Brassica includes several important agricultural and horticultural crops. Their
current genome structures were shaped by whole-genome triplication followed by extensive …

Despite early domestication around 3000 BC, the evolutionary history of the ancient
allotetraploid species Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss remains uncertain. Here, we report …

Non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) is an important leafy vegetable cultivated
worldwide. Here, we report the first high-quality, chromosome-level genome of NHCC001 …

Despite hundreds of sequenced Arabidopsis genomes, very little is known about the degree
of genomic collinearity within single species, due to the low number of chromosome-level …

Background Although it is agreed that a major polyploidy event, gamma, occurred within the
eudicots, the phylogenetic placement of the event remains unclear. Results To determine …
