Main conclusion The present review gives an insight into the salinity stress tolerance
responses and mechanisms of underground vegetable crops. Phytoprotectants, agronomic …

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are an ubiquitous protein family found in archaea,
bacteria and eukaryotes. In plants, as in other organisms, sHSPs are upregulated by stress …

Background Sequencing technology and assembly algorithms have matured to the point
that high-quality de novo assembly is possible for large, repetitive genomes. Current …

We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea, Gregor
Mendel's original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic …

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are prevalent in plant genomes. The
identification of LTR-RTs is critical for achieving high-quality gene annotation. Based on the …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Abstract Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is the most economically valuable crop
possessing crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), a photosynthetic carbon assimilation …

Morphinan-based painkillers are derived from opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.). We
report a draft of the opium poppy genome, with 2.72 gigabases assembled into 11 …

Introduction Darwin famously characterized the rapid rise and early diversification of
flowering plants (angiosperms) in the fossil record as an “abominable mystery.” Identifying …

We have witnessed an explosion in our understanding of the evolution and structure of plant
genomes in recent years. Here, we highlight three important emergent realizations:(1) that …
