Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people. However, productivity
varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land …

As a major event in human civilization, wild plants were successfully domesticated to be
crops, largely owing to continuing artificial selection. Here, we summarize new discoveries …

Breeding of crops over millennia for yield and productivity has led to reduced genetic
diversity. As a result, beneficial traits of wild species, such as disease resistance and stress …

Adaptive changes in plant phenology are often considered to be a feature of the so-called
'domestication syndrome'that distinguishes modern crops from their wild progenitors, but …

Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

The continued improvement of crop yield is a fundamental driver in agriculture and is the
goal of both plant breeders and researchers. Plant breeders have been remarkably …

Crops feed the world's population and shape human civilization. The improvement of crop
productivity has been ongoing for almost 10,000 years and has evolved from an experience …

Climate change, malnutrition, and food insecurity are the inevitable challenges being faced
by the agriculture sector today. Plants are susceptible to extreme temperatures during the …

Domestication provides an important model for the study of evolution, and information
learned from domestication research aids in the continued improvement of crop species …

We report reference‐quality genome assemblies and annotations for two accessions of
soybean (Glycine max) and for one accession of Glycine soja, the closest wild relative of G …
