Drought is a major environmental factor limiting wheat production worldwide, and
develo** drought-tolerant cultivars is a central challenge for wheat breeders globally …

Allium crop breeding remains severely hindered due to the lack of high-quality reference
genomes. Here we report high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies for three key …

Grain size is an important component trait of grain yield, which is frequently threatened by
abiotic stress. However, little is known about how grain yield and abiotic stress tolerance are …

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 …
