Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Crop improvements can help us to meet the challenge of feeding a population of 10 billion,
but can we breed better varieties fast enough? Technologies such as genotyping, marker …

Crop genetic improvement requires balancing complex tradeoffs caused by gene pleiotropy
and linkage drags, as exemplified by IPA1 (Ideal Plant Architecture 1), a typical pleiotropic …

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 …

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental resources
for functional genomics and crop breeding. Here we report a de novo assembly and …

Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …

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

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) due to lack of seed dormancy seriously threatens crop
production worldwide. As a complex quantitative trait, breeding of crop cultivars with suitable …

Cannabis sativa has long been an important source of fiber extracted from hemp and both
medicinal and recreational drugs based on cannabinoid compounds. Here, we investigated …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …
