Crop wild relatives (CWRs) have provided breeders with several'game-changing'traits or
genes that have boosted crop resilience and global agricultural production. Advances in …

A large number of reviews have discussed many aspects of oxidative burst due to plant
exposure to biotic and abiotic stresses, including the dual role of reactive oxygen species …

Missing heritability in genome-wide association studies defines a major problem in genetic
analyses of complex biological traits,. The solution to this problem is to identify all causal …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-cereal food crop, and the
vast majority of commercially grown cultivars are highly heterozygous tetraploids. Advances …

Effective utilization of wild relatives is key to overcoming challenges in genetic improvement
of cultivated tomato, which has a narrow genetic basis; however, current efforts to decipher …

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

Modern tomatoes have narrow genetic diversity limiting their improvement potential. We
present a tomato pan-genome constructed using genome sequences of 725 …

We present RaGOO, a reference-guided contig ordering and orienting tool that leverages
the speed and sensitivity of Minimap2 to accurately achieve chromosome-scale assemblies …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Prolonged periods of drought triggered by climate change hamper plant growth and cause
substantial agricultural yield losses every year. In addition to drought, salinity is one of the …
