Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

All natural plant species are evolved from ancient polyploids. Polyloidization plays an
important role in plant genome evolution, species divergence and crop domestication. We …

Evidence of whole-genome duplications (WGDs) and subsequent karyotype changes has
been detected in most major lineages of living organisms on Earth. To clarify the complex …

Rye is a valuable food and forage crop, an important genetic resource for wheat and triticale
improvement and an indispensable material for efficient comparative genomic studies in …

Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum, BBAADD) is a major staple food crop worldwide. The
diploid progenitors of the A and D subgenomes have been unequivocally identified; that of …

Triticum urartu (diploid, AA) is the progenitor of the A subgenome of tetraploid (Triticum
turgidum, AABB) and hexaploid (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD) wheat,. Genomic studies of T …

Common oat (Avena sativa) is an important cereal crop serving as a valuable source of
forage and human food. Although reference genomes of many important crops have been …

Polyploidy (genome duplication) is a pivotal force in evolution. However, the interactions
between parental genomes in a polyploid nucleus, frequently involving subgenome …

Oaks are an important part of our natural and cultural heritage. Not only are they ubiquitous
in our most common landscapes but they have also supplied human societies with …
