Most land plants are now known to be ancient polyploids that have rediploidized.
Diploidization involves many changes in genome organization that ultimately restore …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …

Abstract The Brassicaceae Database (BRAD version 3.0, BRAD V3. 0; http://brassicadb. cn)
has evolved from the former Brassica Database (BRAD V2. 0), and represents an important …

Cultivated strawberry emerged from the hybridization of two wild octoploid species, both
descendants from the merger of four diploid progenitor species into a single nucleus more …

Plant genomes are often characterized by a high level of repetitiveness and polyploid
nature. Consequently, creating genome assemblies for plant genomes is challenging. 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 …

Upland cotton is a model for polyploid crop domestication and transgenic improvement.
Here we sequenced the allotetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L. acc. TM-1 genome by …

There is an increasing awareness that as a result of structural variation, a reference
sequence representing a genome of a single individual is unable to capture all of the gene …

Background Despite the prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in the speciation of
flowering plants, its impacts on crop intraspecific genome diversification are largely …
