Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

Soybean is one of the most important vegetable oil and protein feed crops. To capture the
entire genomic diversity, it is needed to construct a complete high-quality pan-genome from …

Recent years have seen a surge in plant genome sequencing projects and the comparison
of multiple related individuals. The high degree of genomic variation observed led to the …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is the second most important oilseed crop in the world but the
genetic diversity underlying its massive phenotypic variations remains largely unexplored …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

LightGBM is an ensemble model of decision trees for classification and regression
prediction. We demonstrate its utility in genomic selection-assisted breeding with a large …

Crop production is facing unprecedented challenges. Despite the fact that the food supply
has significantly increased over the past half‐century,~ 8.9 and 14.3% people are still …

Cultivated potato is a clonally propagated autotetraploid species with a highly
heterogeneous genome. Phased assemblies of six cultivars including two chromosome …
