France. It is anticipated that sequencing the Medicago genome will be completed within the …

Abstract Background Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is grown throughout the world and
comprises roughly 50% of the grain legumes consumed worldwide. Despite this, genetic …

A major goal of maize genomic research is to identify sequence polymorphisms responsible
for phenotypic variation in traits of economic importance. Large-scale detection of sequence …

Background Low temperature is one of the main environmental factors that limits crop
growth, development, and production. Medicago falcata is an important leguminous herb …

Background The safflower, Carthamus tinctorius L., is a worldwide oil crop, and its flowers,

Background The genetic and genomic basis of flowering time and biomass yield in alfalfa
(Medicago sativa L.) remains poorly understood mainly due to the autopolyploid nature of …

Abstract Background Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is one of the most important
legumes in tropical and semi-arid regions. However, there is relatively little genomic …

Background Cymbidium sinense belongs to the Orchidaceae, which is one of the most
abundant angiosperm families. C. sinense, a high-grade traditional potted flower, is most …

Large-scale genotype and phenotype data have been increasingly generated to identify
genetic markers, understand gene function and evolution and facilitate genomic selection …

Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is a fast-growing, warm-season legume crop that is primarily
cultivated in developing countries of Asia. Here we construct a draft genome sequence of …
