Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

Recent years have seen a surge in plant genome sequencing projects and the comparison
of multiple related individuals. The high degree of genomic variation observed led to the …

Cultivated rice varieties are all diploid, and polyploidization of rice has long been desired
because of its advantages in genome buffering, vigorousness, and environmental …

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an orphan crop with the potential to improve
cereal production and quality, and ensure food security. Here we present the genetic …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is the second most important oilseed crop in the world but the
genetic diversity underlying its massive phenotypic variations remains largely unexplored …

Cultivated strawberry emerged from the hybridization of two wild octoploid species, both
descendants from the merger of four diploid progenitor species into a single nucleus more …

Abstract The Brassicaceae Database (BRAD version 3.0, BRAD V3. 0; http://brassicadb. cn)
has evolved from the former Brassica Database (BRAD V2. 0), and represents an important …

Like many other crops, the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is of hybrid origin and
has a polyploid genome that contains essentially complete sets of chromosomes from two …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …

Modern sugarcanes are polyploid interspecific hybrids, combining high sugar content from
Saccharum officinarum with hardiness, disease resistance and ratooning of Saccharum …
