climate change. While plant breeding efforts have greatly benefited from advances in …

The rapidly increasing amount of plant genome (sequence) data enables powerful
comparative analyses and integrative approaches and also requires structured and …

Plants produce a remarkable diversity of structurally and functionally diverse natural
chemicals that serve as adaptive compounds throughout their life cycles. However …

Crop plants not only have economic significance, but also comprise important botanical
models for evolution and development. This is reflected by the recent increase in the …

Genome-oriented plant research delivers rapidly increasing amount of plant genome data.
Comprehensive and structured information resources are required to structure and …

Protein sequences were compared among Arabidopsis, Oryza and Populus to identify
differential gene (DG) sets that are in one but not the other two genomes. The DG sets were …

Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized molecular systematics as well as
population and conservation genetics. It is now possible to obtain enormous amounts of …

Worldwide genebanks hold phenotypic and genetic novelty useful to increase yield, crop
adaptability, and agrobiodiversity (Tanksley and McCouch, 1997) while buffering crop …

With the advance of sequencing technologies, the landscape of genomic analysis has been
transformed, by moving from single strain to species (or even higher taxa)-wide genomic …

Gene expression variation largely contributes to phenotypic diversity and constructing pan-
transcriptome is considered necessary for species with complex genomes. However, the …
