Drought (D) and heat (H) are the two major abiotic stresses hindering cereal crop growth
and productivity, either singly or in combination (D/+ H), by imposing various negative …

The genome sequence of any organism is key to understanding the biology and utility of that
organism. Plants have diverse, complex and sometimes very large nuclear genomes …

The para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the world's sole commercial source of natural
rubber, a vital industrial raw material. However, the narrow genetic diversity of this crop …

Improvements in long read DNA sequencing and related techniques facilitated the
generation of complex eukaryotic genomes. Despite these advances, the quality of …

The model plant Nicotiana benthamiana is an increasingly attractive organism for the
production of high‐value, biologically active molecules. However, N. benthamiana …

Premise Robust standards to evaluate quality and completeness are lacking in eukaryotic
structural genome annotation, as genome annotation software is developed using model …

Background Generating the most contiguous, accurate genome assemblies given available
sequencing technologies is a long-standing challenge in genome science. With the rise of …

Paspalum notatum Flüggé is an economically important subtropical fodder grass that is
widely used in the Americas. Here, we report a new chromosome-scale genome assembly …

Crop development is critical to meeting the world's growing food needs, especially in light of
the challenges posed by climate change and population growth. Molecular markers (MM) …

Premise We present approaches used to generate long‐read Nanopore sequencing reads
for the Liliales and demonstrate how modifications to standard protocols directly impact read …
