Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people. However, productivity
varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land …

The origin of domesticated Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) has been controversial for more than
half a century. The debates have focused on two leading hypotheses: a single domestication …

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

High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading oil and food legume. Here we
report a high-quality peanut genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 …

Fabaceae are the third largest angiosperm family, with 765 genera and∼ 19 500 species.
They are important both economically and ecologically, and global Fabaceae crops are …

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 …

INTRODUCTION Access to nutrients such as nitrogen is required for plant growth. Legumes
and nine additional plant families benefit from the nitrogen-fixing root nodule (NFN) …

The emergence of apomixis—the transition from sexual to asexual reproduction—is a
prominent feature of modern citrus. Here we de novo sequenced and comprehensively …

Background DNA methylation is an important feature of plant epigenomes, involved in the
formation of heterochromatin and affecting gene expression. Extensive variation of DNA …
