Publication of the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant
reference genome, in December 2000 heralded the beginning of the plant genome era …

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 …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-cereal food crop, and the
vast majority of commercially grown cultivars are highly heterozygous tetraploids. Advances …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) crops suffer severe losses
to late blight caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Solanum …

Cultivated potato is a clonally propagated autotetraploid species with a highly
heterogeneous genome. Phased assemblies of six cultivars including two chromosome …

Reinventing potato from a clonally propagated tetraploid into a seed-propagated diploid,
hybrid potato, is an important innovation in agriculture. Due to deleterious mutations, it has …

Potato is the most widely produced tuber crop worldwide. However, reconstructing the four
haplotypes of its autotetraploid genome remained an unsolved challenge. Here, we report …

Global agriculture is dominated by a handful of species that currently supply a huge
proportion of our food and feed. It additionally faces the massive challenge of providing food …

Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …

Artemisia annua is the major natural source of artemisinin, an anti-malarial medicine
commonly used worldwide. Here, we present chromosome-level haploid maps for two A …
