Recent advances in the genomics of polyploid species answer some of the long-standing
questions about the role of polyploidy in crop species. Here, we summarize the current …

The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) is an allo-octoploid species, originating
nearly 300 years ago from wild progenitors from the Americas. Since that time the strawberry …

Genomic prediction (GP) is the procedure whereby the genetic merits of untested candidates
are predicted using genome wide marker information. Although numerous examples of GP …

Plants produce a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which are perceived
by the human olfactory system, contributing to a myriad flavors. Despite the importance of …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) has a complex genome with variable ploidy and frequent
aneuploidy, which hampers the understanding of phenotype and genotype relations …

Low or uneven read depth is a common limitation of genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and
restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq), resulting in high missing data rates …

Polyploidy, the result of whole-genome duplication (WGD), is a major driver of eukaryote
evolution. Yet WGDs are hugely disruptive mutations, and we still lack a clear understanding …

The recent completion of the rose genome sequence is not the end of a process, but rather a
starting point that opens up a whole set of new and exciting activities. Next to a high-quality …

Plant cytogenetic studies have provided essential knowledge on chromosome behavior
during meiosis, contributing to our understanding of this complex process. In this review, we …

Non‐random mating among individuals can lead to spatial clustering of genetically similar
individuals and population stratification. This deviation from panmixia is commonly observed …
