Increasing crop production is necessary to feed the world's expanding population, and crop
breeders often utilize genetic variations to improve crop yield and quality. However, the …

Torreya plants produce dry fruits with assorted functions. Here, we report the 19-Gb
chromosome-level genome assembly of T. grandis. The genome is shaped by ancient whole …

Wild yak (Bos mutus) and domestic yak (Bos grunniens) are adapted to high altitude
environment and have ecological, economic, and cultural significances on the Qinghai …

Hyperforin is the compound responsible for the effectiveness of St. John's wort (Hypericum
perforatum) as an antidepressant, but its complete biosynthetic pathway remains unknown …

We sequenced the genome of the highly heterozygous almond Prunus dulcis cv. Texas
combining short‐and long‐read sequencing. We obtained a genome assembly totaling …

Understanding the roles of genetic divergence and phenotypic plasticity in adaptation is
central to evolutionary biology and important for assessing adaptive potential of species …

Reference-quality genomes of both sexes are essential for studying sex determination and
sex-chromosome evolution, as their gene contents and expression profiles differ. Here, we …

Determining the functional consequences of karyotypic changes is invariably challenging
because evolution tends to obscure many of its own footprints, such as accumulated …

Plants accumulate a vast array of secondary metabolites, which constitute a natural resource
for pharmaceuticals. Oldenlandia corymbosa belongs to the Rubiaceae family, and has …

Abstract Properties that make organisms ideal laboratory models in developmental and
medical research are often the ones that also make them less representative of wild …
