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 …

Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel
security and global crop productivity–. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies …

The triangular correlation heatmap aiming to visualize the linkage disequilibrium (LD)
pattern and haplotype block structure of SNPs is ubiquitous component of population-based …

Large-scale genomic surveys of crop germplasm are important for understanding the
genetic architecture of favorable traits. The genomic basis of geographic differentiation and …

Green plants play a fundamental role in ecosystems, human health, and agriculture. As de
novo genomes are being generated for all known eukaryotic species as advocated by the …

Our agricultural systems are now in urgent need to secure food for a growing world
population. To meet this challenge, we need a better characterization of plant genetic and …

During evolution successful allopolyploids must overcome 'genome shock'between
hybridizing species but the underlying process remains elusive. Here, we report concerted …

Plant genomes demonstrate significant presence/absence variation (PAV) within a species;
however, the factors that lead to this variation have not been studied systematically in …

Plant cell growth involves a complex interplay among cell-wall expansion, biosynthesis, and,
in specific tissues, secondary cell wall (SCW) deposition, yet the coordination of these …
