Diffusion driven by temperature or concentration gradients is a fundamental mechanism of
energy and mass transport that inherently differs from wave propagation in both physical …

Long-read sequencing (LRS) technologies have provided extremely powerful tools to
explore genomes. While in the early years these methods suffered technical limitations, they …

Asian rice (Oryza sativa) is the staple food for half the world and is a model crop that has
been extensively studied. It contributes $20% of calories to the human diet (Stein et al …

Inversions, a type of chromosomal structural variation, significantly influence plant
adaptation and gene functions by impacting gene expression and recombination rates …

Evolutionary dynamics of inversion and its impact on biochemical traits are a puzzling
question. Here, we show abundance of inversions in three Curcuma species (turmeric …

Crop translational genomics applies breeding techniques based on genomic datasets to
improve crops. Technological breakthroughs in the past ten years have made it possible to …

Crop pangenomes made from individual cultivar assemblies promise easy access to
conserved genes, but genome content variability and inconsistent identifiers hamper their …

Some 20 years ago, the EU introduced complex regulatory rules for the growth of transgenic
crops, which resulted in a de facto ban to grow these plants in fields within most European …

Wild species of crops serve as a valuable germplasm resource for breeding of modern
cultivars. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a vital global staple food. However, research on genome …

Genomic structural variations affected widely gene function and morphological traits in
plants. Chromosomal inversions (INVs), as an important form of structural variation, can be …
