A plant's genome encodes enzymes, transporters and many other proteins which constitute
metabolism. Interactions of plants with their environment shape their growth, development …

New challenges have arrived for the conservation of plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture. Increased pressure on the environment, including the added threat of climate …

The wild rice species in the genus Oryza harbor a large amount of genetic diversity that has
been untapped for rice improvement. Pan-genomics has revolutionized genomic research in …

Over the past decade, advances in plant genotyping have been critical in enabling the
identification of genetic diversity, in understanding evolution, and in dissecting important …

Papaya (Carica papaya) is an economically important fruit crop that is mostly planted in
tropical and subtropical regions. Major diseases of papaya, such as the papaya dieback …

One response to mitigate the impact of climate change on agricultural systems is to develop
new varieties that are tolerant to the new range of biotic and abiotic challenges this change …

Abstract Introduction Sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense, Gb) is one of the major
sources of high-grade natural fiber. Besides the common annual Gb cotton, perennial Gb …

The availability of reference genomes has been the foundation for genomics research in the
last decade. However, as reports of presence/absence variations of sequence and genes …

Structural variations (SVs) are larger polymorphisms (> 50 bp in length), which consist of
insertions, deletions, inversions, duplications, and translocations. They can have a strong …

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous genomic components and hard to study due to
their highly repetitive. Here we assembled 232 chromosome-level genomes based on long …
