Global climate change exacerbates the effects of environmental stressors, such as drought,
flooding, extreme temperatures, salinity, and alkalinity, on crop growth and grain yield …

Many newly created early maturing varieties exhibit poor stress resistance and low yield,
whereas stress-resistant varieties are typically late maturing. For this reason, the …

The origins of maize were the topic of vigorous debate for nearly a century, but neither the
current genetic model nor earlier archaeological models account for the totality of available …

To systematically assess the impact of typical CNMs on the growth effects of cereal crops,
we conducted a meta-analysis of 48 independent studies worldwide. The pooled results …

Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) populations exhibit vast ranges of genetic and phenotypic
diversity. As sequencing costs have declined, an increasing number of projects have sought …

Abstract Background Tartary buckwheat, Fagopyrum tataricum, is a pseudocereal crop with
worldwide distribution and high nutritional value. However, the origin and domestication …

Upland rice is a distinctive drought‐aerobic ecotype of cultivated rice highly resistant to
drought stress. However, the genetic and genomic basis for the drought‐aerobic adaptation …

Large-scale genomic variations are fundamental resources for crop genetics and breeding.
Here we sequenced 1,904 genomes of broomcorn millet to an average of 40× sequencing …

Deep sequencing is a term that has become embedded in the plant genomic literature in
recent years and with good reason. A torrent of (largely) high‐quality genomic and …

Seminal roots play an important role in acquisition of water and nutrients by maize
seedlings. Compared with its teosinte ancestor, maize underwent a change in seminal root …
