Studies have demonstrated that structural variants (SV) play a substantial role in the
evolution of species and have an impact on Mendelian traits in the genome. However, unlike …

Rapid plant genome evolution is crucial to adapt to environmental changes. Chromosomal
rearrangements and gene copy number variation (CNV) are two important tools for genome …

Many of our major crop species are polyploids, containing more than one genome or set of
chromosomes. Polyploid crops present unique challenges, including difficulties in genome …

For thousands of years, humans have been improving crops to better suit their needs. These
enhancements are driven by changes in the genetic makeup of the plant. While this was …

Although clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-
associated protein (Cas)-mediated gene editing has revolutionized biology and plant …

Genome structural variation (SV) contributes strongly to trait variation in eukaryotic species
and may have an even higher functional significance than single‐nucleotide polymorphism …

Populus has a wide ecogeographical range spanning the Northern Hemisphere, and
interspecific hybrids are common. Populus tomentosa Carr. is widely distributed and …

Abstract Vaccinium darrowii Camp (2n= 2x= 24) is a native North American blueberry
species and an important source of traits such as low chill requirement in commercial …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the major global sources for edible vegetable oil
and is also utilized in feeding, pioneer crop, sightseeing and industrial purposes. With the …
