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 …

Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

Sorghum is a drought-tolerant staple crop for half a billion people in Africa and Asia, an
important source of animal feed throughout the world and a biofuel feedstock of growing …

The great efforts spent in the maintenance of past diversity in genebanks are rationalized by
the potential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in future crop improvement—a concept …

Upland cotton is the most important natural-fiber crop. The genomic variation of diverse
germplasms and alleles underpinning fiber quality and yield should be extensively explored …

Sorghum bicolor is a drought tolerant C4 grass used for the production of grain, forage,
sugar, and lignocellulosic biomass and a genetic model for C4 grasses due to its relatively …

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be a powerful tool for the identification of
genes associated with agronomic traits in crop species, but it is often hindered by population …

We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-
genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate …

Alternative splicing and alternative polyadenylation (APA) of pre-mRNAs greatly contribute
to transcriptome diversity, coding capacity of a genome and gene regulatory mechanisms in …

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a multipurpose food crop which is ranked among the top five
cereal crops in the world, and is used as a source of food, fodder, feed, and fuel. The genus …
