We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild
accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape …

Setaria italica (foxtail millet), a founder crop of East Asian agriculture, is a model plant for C4
photosynthesis and developing approaches to adaptive breeding across multiple climates …

Performing phylogenetic analysis with genome sequences maximizes the information used
to estimate phylogenies and the resolution of closely related taxa. The use of single …

Urbanization drastically transforms landscapes, resulting in fragmentation, degradation, and
the loss of local biodiversity. Yet, urban environments also offer opportunities to observe …

Genetic improvement of grain quality is more challenging in hybrid rice than in inbred rice
due to additional nonadditive effects such as dominance. Here, we describe a pipeline …

Hybrid rice has made considerable contributions to achieve the ambitious goal of food
security for the world's population. Hybrid rice from indica/xian and japonica/geng …

Pistachio is a nut crop domesticated in the Fertile Crescent and a dioecious species with ZW
sex chromosomes. We sequenced the genomes of Pistacia vera cultivar (cv.) Siirt, the …

Background Geese are among the most important poultry species in the world. The current
generally accepted hypothesis is that the European domestic geese originated from greylag …

Transposable elements (TEs) are a major source of genetic polymorphisms and play a role
in chromatin architecture, gene regulatory networks, and genomic evolution. However, their …
