Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

Abstract Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is one of the most important root crops
cultivated worldwide. Because of its adaptability, high yield potential, and nutritional value …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-cereal food crop, and the
vast majority of commercially grown cultivars are highly heterozygous tetraploids. Advances …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …

Genome sequences from over 200 plant species have already been published, with this
number expected to increase rapidly due to advances in sequencing technologies. Once a …

Here we present the 15 pseudochromosomes of sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas, the seventh
most important crop in the world and the fourth most significant in China. By using a novel …

Asterids are one of the most successful angiosperm lineages, exhibiting extensive
morphological diversity and including a number of important crops. Despite their biological …

Broiler chickens are highly sensitive to high ambient temperatures due to their feathers, lack
of skin sweat glands, and high productivity. Heat stress (HS) is a major concern for the …

vertebrates.•Long-read assembly contigs outperform short-read assembly scaffolds.•Long …

Hybrid potato breeding will transform the crop from a clonally propagated tetraploid to a
seed-reproducing diploid. Historical accumulation of deleterious mutations in potato …
