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 …

The pangenome provides genomic variations in the cultivated gene pool for a given species.
However, as the crop's gene pool comprises many species, especially wild relatives with …

Soybean is one of the most important vegetable oil and protein feed crops. To capture the
entire genomic diversity, it is needed to construct a complete high-quality pan-genome from …

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

The concept of pan-genome, which is the collection of all genomes from a population, has
shown a great potential in genomics study, especially for crop sciences. The rice pan …

Climate change is a threat to global food security due to the reduction of crop productivity
around the globe. Food security is a matter of concern for stakeholders and policymakers as …

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is at the vanguard facing the upcoming breeding
challenges. However, both a super pan-genome for the Zea genus and a comprehensive …

Genetic variation ranging from single-nucleotide polymorphisms to large structural variants
(SVs) can cause variation of gene content among individuals within the same species. There …

Mung bean is an economically important legume crop species that is used as a food,
consumed as a vegetable, and used as an ingredient and even as a medicine. To explore …

Studies on structural variation in plants have revealed the inadequacy of a single reference
genome for an entire species and suggest that it is necessary to build a species …
