Drought stress restricts plant growth and development by altering metabolic activity and
biological functions. However, plants have evolved several cellular and molecular …

Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

Tea plant is an important economic crop, which is used to produce the world's oldest and
most widely consumed tea beverages. Here, we present a high-quality reference genome …

Upon assembling the first Gossypium herbaceum (A1) genome and substantially improving
the existing Gossypium arboreum (A2) and Gossypium hirsutum ((AD) 1) genomes, we …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Oaks are an important part of our natural and cultural heritage. Not only are they ubiquitous
in our most common landscapes but they have also supplied human societies with …

Tea is an economically important plant characterized by a large genome, high
heterozygosity, and high species diversity. In this study, we assemble a 3.26-Gb high-quality …

Gossypium hirsutum has proven difficult to sequence owing to its complex allotetraploid
(AtDt) genome. Here we produce a draft genome using 181-fold paired-end sequences …

Plant terrestrialization brought forth the land plants (embryophytes). Embryophytes account
for most of the biomass on land and evolved from streptophyte algae in a singular event …
