In the last decade, legume genomics research has seen a paradigm shift due to advances in
genome sequencing technologies, assembly algorithms, and computational genomics that …

Cannabis sativa is an extraordinarily versatile species. Hemp and its cousin marijuana, both
C. sativa, have been used for millennia as a source of fibre, oil and for medicinal, spiritual …

For identification of marker–trait associations (MTAs) for complex traits in animals and
plants, thousands of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted during the …

The genome sequence of any organism is key to understanding the biology and utility of that
organism. Plants have diverse, complex and sometimes very large nuclear genomes …

Biotic stress is a critical factor limiting soybean growth and development. Soybean
responses to biotic stresses such as insects, nematodes, fungal, bacterial, and viral …

The domestication and improvement of many plant species have frequently involved
modulation of transcriptional outputs and continue to offer much promise for targeted trait …

Since their domestication, Brassica oilseed species have undergone progressive
transformation allied with the development of breeding and molecular technologies. The …

Rice is one of the most important food crops worldwide. Population growth and climate
change posed great challenges for further rice production. In the past decade, we have …

The investigation of plant genomes is of great importance for basic research and practical
breeding. In 1977, F. Sanger proposed a DNA sequencing method, which allowed the …

Plant genomes contain both protein‐coding and noncoding sequences including
transposable elements (TEs) and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). The ncRNAs are recognized …
