Since whole-genome sequencing of many crops has been achieved, crop functional
genomics studies have stepped into the big-data and high-throughput era. However …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

Over two thousand plant species have been modified morphologically through cultivation
and human use. Here, we review three aspects of crop domestication that are currently …

Leaf shape is spectacularly diverse. As a major component of plant architecture and an
interface for light capture, gas exchange, and thermoregulation, the potential contributions of …

Glutaredoxins (GRXs) are small oxidoreductases that can modify target protein activities
through control of the redox (reduction/oxidation) state by reducing or glutathionylating …

There is intense interest in using genome editing technologies to domesticate wild plants, or
accelerate the improvement of weakly domesticated crops, in de novo domestication. Here …

While the vast majority of genome size variation in plants is due to differences in repetitive
sequence, we know little about how selection acts on repeat content in natural populations …

Gene duplications are a hallmark of plant genome evolution and a foundation for genetic
interactions that shape phenotypic diversity,,,–. Compensation is a major form of paralogue …

Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) populations exhibit vast ranges of genetic and phenotypic
diversity. As sequencing costs have declined, an increasing number of projects have sought …

Highlights•Spatial and temporal regulation of cell division and cell expansion is
conserved.•The growth rate starts to decline soon after the division zone regresses.•Several …
