Crop domestication has fundamentally altered the course of human history, causing a shift
from hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies and stimulating the rise of modern civilization …

Crop plant architecture is an important agronomic trait that contributes greatly to crop yield.
Tiller angle is one of the most critical components that determine crop plant architecture …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

Among crop fruit trees, the apricot (Prunus armeniaca) provides an excellent model to study
divergence and adaptation processes. Here, we obtain nearly 600 Armeniaca apricot …

Background The circum-basmati group of cultivated Asian rice (Oryza sativa) contains many
iconic varieties and is widespread in the Indian subcontinent. Despite its economic and …

African Oryza glaberrima and Oryza sativa landraces are considered valuable resources for
breeding traits due to their adaptation to local environmental and soil conditions. They often …

Starch biosynthesis in gravity‐sensing tissues of rice shoot determines the magnitude of rice
shoot gravitropism and thus tiller angle. However, the molecular mechanism underlying …

The shoot and root system architectures are fundamental for crop productivity. During the
history of artificial selection of domestication and post-domestication breeding, the …

Hundreds of plant species have been domesticated to feed human civilization, while some
crops have undergone de-domestication into agricultural weeds, threatening global food …

Rice tiller angle is a key agronomic trait that contributes to ideal plant architecture and grain
production. LAZY1 (LA1) was previously shown to control tiller angle via affecting shoot …
