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 …

The pangenome provides genomic variations in the cultivated gene pool for a given species.
However, as the crop's gene pool comprises many species, especially wild relatives with …

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 …

Structural variants (SVs) represent a major source of genetic diversity and are related to
numerous agronomic traits and evolutionary events; however, their comprehensive …

Plants and pathogens constantly adapt to each other. As a consequence, many members of
the plant immune system, and especially the intracellular nucleotide-binding site leucine …

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 …

While prokaryotic pan-genomes have been shown to contain many more genes than any
individual organism, the prevalence and functional significance of differentially present …

Climate change is a threat to global food security due to the reduction of crop productivity
around the globe. Food security is a matter of concern for stakeholders and policymakers as …

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important horticultural crop and one of the most
widely grown vegetables from the Solanaceae family. It was domesticated from a wild …
