Since the early days of the genome era, the scientific community has relied on a single
'reference'genome for each species, which is used as the basis for a wide range of genetic …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In the present
study, we report the haplotype-resolved genomes of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica …

Structural variants (SVs) represent a major source of genetic diversity and are related to
numerous agronomic traits and evolutionary events; however, their comprehensive …

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 …

Sorghum is a drought-tolerant staple crop for half a billion people in Africa and Asia, an
important source of animal feed throughout the world and a biofuel feedstock of growing …

Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture
of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the …
