Recent years have seen a surge in plant genome sequencing projects and the comparison
of multiple related individuals. The high degree of genomic variation observed led to the …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Pearl millet is an important cereal crop worldwide and shows superior heat tolerance. Here,
we developed a graph-based pan-genome by assembling ten chromosomal genomes with …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

Genetic diversity is key to crop improvement. Owing to pervasive genomic structural
variation, a single reference genome assembly cannot capture the full complement of …

Soybean is one of the most important vegetable oil and protein feed crops. To capture the
entire genomic diversity, it is needed to construct a complete high-quality pan-genome from …

Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In the present
study, we report the haplotype-resolved genomes of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica …

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

Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel
security and global crop productivity,–. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …
