Plants are natural experts in organic synthesis, being able to generate large numbers of
specific metabolites with widely varying structures that help them adapt to variable survival …

Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) finished genome has been the long pursuit of
genomic research. Through generating deep coverage ultralong Oxford Nanopore …

Structural variations (SVs) and gene copy number variations (gCNVs) have contributed to
crop evolution, domestication, and improvement. Here, we assembled 31 high-quality …

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 …

Several yield-related traits selected during crop domestication and improvement, are
associated with increases in meristem size, which is controlled by CLE peptide signals in the …

Structural variants (SVs) underlie important crop improvement and domestication traits.
However, resolving the extent, diversity, and quantitative impact of SVs has been …

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 …

In the context of climate change, drought is one of the most limiting factors that influence
crop production. Maize, as a major crop, is highly vulnerable to water deficit, which causes …

Tea is one of the world's oldest crops and is cultivated to produce beverages with various
flavours. Despite advances in sequencing technologies, the genetic mechanisms underlying …
