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 …

The pangenome refers to a collection of genomic sequence found in the entire species or
population rather than in a single individual; the sequence can be core, present in all …

Genetic variation ranging from single-nucleotide polymorphisms to large structural variants
(SVs) can cause variation of gene content among individuals within the same species. There …

Crop production can be severely limited by adverse environmental conditions such as
drought, extreme heat, and frost. As climate change intensifies, weather patterns are …

Key message Structural genome variation is a major determinant of useful trait diversity. We
describe how genome analysis methods are enabling discovery of trait-associated structural …

Genomic selection approaches have increased the speed of plant breeding, leading to
growing crop yields over the last decade. However, climate change is impacting current and …

The development of climate change resilient crops is necessary if we are to meet the
challenge of feeding the growing world's population. We must be able to increase food …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus), the second most important oilseed crop globally, originated
from an interspecific hybridization between B. rapa and B. oleracea. After this genome …

A resistance gene atlas is an integral component of the breeder's arsenal in the fight against
evolving pathogens. Thanks to high‐throughput sequencing, catalogues of resistance genes …

Key message Conversion of SNP chip assays into locus-specific KASP markers requires
adapted strategies in polyploid species with high genome homeology. Procedures are …
