The escalating demand for secondary metabolites in international markets poses a severe
threat to many plant species. An unscrupulous collection is also the immediate challenge to …

There is an expanding need to modify plant genomes to create new plant germplasm that
advances both basic and applied plant research. Most current methods for plant genome …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association map** …

Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …

Background A robust molecular phylogeny is fundamental for develo** a stable
classification and providing a solid framework to understand patterns of diversification …

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 …

Background Worldwide, the cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum L., is the No. 1 vegetable
crop and a critical food security crop. The genome sequence of DM1–3 516 R44, a doubled …

Taxon-specific small RNA loci are widespread in eukaryotic genomes, yet their role in
lineage-specific adaptation, phenotypic diversification, and speciation is poorly understood …

Sequencing of target-enriched libraries is an efficient and cost-effective method for obtaining
DNA sequence data from hundreds of nuclear loci for phylogeny reconstruction. Much of the …

The tree of life is the fundamental biological roadmap for navigating the evolution and
properties of life on Earth, and yet remains largely unknown. Even angiosperms (flowering …
