Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …

Gossypium, the cotton genus, includes∼ 50 species distributed in tropical and sub-tropical
regions of all continents except Europe. Here we provide a synopsis of the evolutionary …

Improvement of photosynthetic traits in crops to increase yield potential and crop resilience
has recently become a major breeding target. Synthetic biology and genetic technologies …

Mitochondrial and plastid functions depend on coordinated expression of proteins encoded
by genomic compartments that have radical differences in copy number of organellar and …

There is an urgent demand for biostimulant amendments that can sustainably alleviate
osmotic stress. However, limited information is available about the integrated application of …

Polyploidy provides an opportunity for evolutionary innovation and species diversification,
especially under stressful conditions. In allopolyploids, the conditional dynamics of …

Water stress is a critical abiotic stress for plant reduction in arid and semiarid zones and, has
been discovered to be detrimental to the development of seedlings as well as the growth …

Whole-genome duplication (polyploidization) is among the most dramatic mutational
processes in nature, so understanding how natural selection differs in polyploids relative to …

Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are a prominent process of diversification in
eukaryotes. The genetic and evolutionary forces that WGD imposes on cytoplasmic …

Cotton fiber provides the predominant plant textile in the world, and it is also a model for
plant cell wall biosynthesis. The development of the single-celled cotton fiber takes place …
