Vegetables are an integral part of the human diet worldwide. Traditional breeding
approaches have been used extensively to develop new cultivars of vegetables with …

Mutations with deleterious consequences in nature may be conditionally deleterious in crop
plants. That is, while some genetic variants may reduce fitness under wild conditions and be …

Wild species related to agricultural crops (crop wild relatives, or CWR) can increase the
adaptive capacity of agricultural systems around the world. They represent a large pool of …

Linked-Read sequencing technology has recently been employed successfully for de novo
assembly of human genomes, however, the utility of this technology for complex plant …

Genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) was employed to construct a highly saturated genetic
linkage map of a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) recombinant inbred line (RIL) …

Whole-genome resequencing provides information of great relevance for crop genetics,
evolution, and breeding. Here, we present the first whole-genome resequencing study using …

Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is an important vegetable crop that has been subjected to
intensive breeding, resulting in limited genetic diversity, especially for sweet peppers …

The fruits of Capsicum chinense stand out with a wide diversity of sizes, colors, shapes, and
levels of pungency. Knowledge about this variability is essential for the success in species …

Pepper (Capsicum L.) is a major vegetable and spice crop worldwide. Global production of
both fresh and dried fruit continues to increase steadily in terms of area harvested and yield …

As sequencing costs decrease and availability of high fidelity long-read sequencing
