Kiwifruit is a recently domesticated horticultural fruit crop with substantial economic and
nutritional value, especially because of the high content of vitamin C in its fruit. In this study …

Azaleas (Ericaceae) comprise one of the most diverse ornamental plants, renowned for their
cultural and economic importance. We present a chromosome-scale genome assembly for …

Broiler chickens are highly sensitive to high ambient temperatures due to their feathers, lack
of skin sweat glands, and high productivity. Heat stress (HS) is a major concern for the …

The biosynthesis of anthocyanins has been shown to be influenced by light quality.
However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the light‐mediated regulation of fruit …

Teleost fishes, which are the largest and most diverse group of living vertebrates, have a rich
history of ancient and recent polyploidy. Previous studies of allotetraploid common carp and …

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 …

Highlights• A single subgenome in allopolyploids may contribute to the majority of the
phenotype.• Methylation of transposons near genes is associated with subgenome …

Allele‐specific expression (ASE) can lead to phenotypic diversity and evolution. However,
the mechanisms regulating ASE are not well understood, particularly in woody perennial …
