Global warming causes a range of negative impacts on plants especially due to rapid
changes in temperatures, alterations of rainfall patterns, floods or drought conditions, and …

Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …

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

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 …

The great efforts spent in the maintenance of past diversity in genebanks are rationalized by
the potential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in future crop improvement—a concept …

Crops feed the world's population and shape human civilization. The improvement of crop
productivity has been ongoing for almost 10,000 years and has evolved from an experience …

Genebanks collect and preserve vast collections of plants and detailed passport information,
with the aim of preserving genetic diversity for conservation and breeding. Genetic …

Disease-resistance (R) gene cloning in wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been accelerated by
the recent surge of genomic resources, facilitated by advances in sequencing technologies …

Highly efficient and accurate selection of elite genotypes can lead to dramatic shortening of
